When misconduct allegations arise, the investigation process can make or break the outcome.

Even where an employer has a valid reason for dismissal, mistakes such as a rushed process, poor documentation, unclear evidence or a decision made too early can expose the business to a personal grievance or unjustified dismissal claim.

In this practical 60-minute webinar, our experts will walk through the five common investigation mistakes that can derail a dismissal and how employers can avoid them.

In just 60 minutes:

  • General vs Serious Misconduct: Knowing the difference and why it matters before taking disciplinary action
  • Evidence Over Assumptions: How to gather and assess evidence ensuring decisions are based on facts
  • Fair & Reasonable Process: The critical mistakes employers make during misconduct investigations

Please note that this is general information and not intended to replace legal advice under any circumstances.
