Can I look at what employees post on social media and rely on it to fire or discipline someone?

Are my company policies up to date?

Employment laws change frequently and vary by state, city or town. A regular review of your policies and forms is essential to operating within the law. Failure to review and update your company handbook is one of the leading causes for lawsuits and claims. Don’t leave your company exposed.

What about situations that are “he said, she said”?

This business law firm uses workplace investigations to get answers for clients. In some cases, an investigator has to rely on experience to assess a person’s credibility or extend an investigation beyond its original scope to make a determination. In other cases, a recommendation can be made without deciding who is right and who is wrong. The key here is to think ahead and prepare. Hiring an investigator may be a game-changer for employers looking to protect their company from liability from their employees.
