Portland Workplace Investigation Lawyer

Investigating Workplace Problems in Oregon

Workplace investigations enable management to fully understand a problem and resolve it. Under state law, investigations can be conducted by a company's human resources department, an attorney or a private investigator. Independent investigations can often help an employer avoid accusations of bias or predisposition, which can hamper the company's efforts to effectively resolve the matter.

There are many different types of employee issues that may require an investigation, including:

Employee misconduct
Substance abuse issues
Sexual harassment
Safety problems
Theft
Discrimination
Wages, overtime and employee misclassification
Employee benefits disputes
Vandalism

California law specifically mandates investigations for any allegations of sexual harassment or safety violations.
