Procedure and Privilege: Considerations When Conducting a Workplace Investigation in Canada
Original Program Date :
Length: 1 Hour, 7 Minutes
This webinar will explore the factors Canadian adjudicators examine in determining whether a workplace investigation is covered by legal privilege and when an employer may want to assert or waive any potential privilege claim. Using real life examples, participants will also come away with an understanding of some of the procedural steps they must adhere to if they wish to have a workplace investigation withstand scrutiny by Canadian adjudicators.
In this session, we will explore:
- When is a workplace investigation covered by legal privilege?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of asserting privilege over a workplace investigation?
- Common procedural missteps that can lead to a flawed investigation (and how to avoid them!)
