WORKPLACE & WSIB INVESTIGATIONS

At some point, every employer will face the need to investigate one or more of its employees. More and more employers are recognizing what an important tool a workplace & WSIB investigation can be in discovering problems and preventing their reoccurrence. Whether performed internally or externally, addressing matters of workplace misconduct such as, violations of employer policies, ethical violations, fraud, discrimination, harassment, retaliation and violence, job performance, workplace safety and or whistleblowing allegations can be a daunting and very complex on taking. The legislative framework introduced through Bill 168, and subsequently strengthened through additional amendments, places significant responsibilities on employers to conduct timely, fair, and well-documented workplace investigations while maintaining a safe and respectful workplace.

The main objective of any Workplace & WSIB Investigation is to provide a sound and factual basis for decisions by management. The investigation should also produce reliable documentation that can be used to support management actions. Finally, an investigation of employees should reveal whether any misconduct has occurred, identify (or exonerate) specific employees who are suspected or guilty of misconduct, and put a stop to further wrongful engagements.
