Q. Do I need to investigate a discrimination or harassment claim
by a former employee?
A. Yes. All discrimination and harassment claims must be
investigated to determine if there is a need for a corrective
action to address a current workplace violation or prevent a future
one. A failure to investigate could adversely affect a
company's ability to defend itself in a future lawsuit, and in
some states the failure to conduct an investigation could create
grounds for an additional cause of action to be brought against the
company.
