Questions about the integrity of an employee or suspicions of transgressive behaviour within an organisation require careful action.
The employer will want and/or have launch a fact-finding investigation that takes the varying interests of everyone involved into account. Which actions the employer should take always depends on the circumstances of the case. But the employer should always make every effort to be as careful as possible.
Investigations into integrity violations or other transgressive behaviour almost always cause some degree of instability in the workplace. Again, it's a situation where the employer has to act carefully. Communication is key, but privacy for those involved is also a major issue.
The specialists at L&A Advocaten have extensive experience in cases involving integrity violations or other inappropriate behaviour. Prevention, through things like codes of conduct and sanctions policies, is of course better than cure. Yet sometimes litigation is unavoidable. In other cases, mediation may be the right solution.
