What if my situation requires professional investigation?
Professional investigation may be required or beneficial for many situations.
"In cases that appear to warrant an investigation the employer should appoint a neutral person to examine the circumstances of a complaint. They therefore should be as independent and objective as possible. The investigator must know about Human Rights, the Code and any internal policy. " |

Either a company, or an employee should be willing to consider the services of a professional investigator
For Employees:
In most cases, employees seek legal assistance without properly documenting their concerns. This means that the lawyer will then hire the employee an investigator at an inflated rate. Before spending a lot of money on a lawyer, you may want to consider the services of a professional investigation.
For Employers:
When a complaint or concern is brought to your attention, it may be a good practice to investigate the matter as thouroughly as possible. This helps you fully understand the situation, and then you are in a better position to make judgement decisions. A professional investigator that specializes in employment and harassment issues may be able to do the job more cost effectively and accurately than you are able too do on your own.
