The Employment Relations Authority does not ‘step into the shoes of the employer’, but in applying the test of justification, it continues to scrutinise investigations undertaken by employers. This workshop will not only look at the complex process an employer needs to follow when undertaking an investigation but how best to justify a decision that is relying on an investigation. Mike Chappell from New Zealand Forensic will co-present this workshop, and he will provide a fascinating insight into digital fraud as a practical example of an investigation.
