Employee Complaints and Investigations—An Interactive Two-Part Webinar Series (2021)

ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Employee complaints, both informal and formal, require immediate action by the employer. This includes taking steps to stop the alleged conflict, protect involved parties, and begin investigations. Under various statutory requirements (Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, and other local laws) local educational agencies (LEAs) are legally obligated to investigate complaints in a timely manner. Effective management of employment complaints requires operative protocols and procedures, as well as informed Human Resources (HR) administrators and front-line supervisors.

While a well-organized and highly effective HR department will reduce legal expenses and safeguard scarce fiscal resources, employment litigation is a huge and growing problem in California. LEAs are not immune to these employment trends and are experiencing growing numbers of complaints against employees as well as claims of discrimination. Unexpected personnel expenses are predictable in the absence of sound policies and procedures related to complaints and investigations. This webinar offers an in-depth examination of workplace investigations, tools and resources to effectively manage complaints, as well as how to recognize indicators when legal counsel support is required. Attendees will also be added to the SSC HR Listserv for networking opportunities with other LEA HR professionals and to receive new information as it unfolds.
