Workplace Investigations and Disciplinary Proceedings

Workplace Investigations & Disciplinary Proceedings

Did your employer fire you for misconduct without a workplace investigation and disciplinary proceedings? If so, our Calgary wrongful dismissal lawyers can help you fight for the entitlements you deserve.

We’ll see to it that your reputation is restored, and help you pursue any financial losses your termination may have cost you.

Not all allegations in the workplace are valid

Wrongful accusations and rumours have the power to end someone’s career. We are not going to sugarcoat this: yes, sometimes allegations in the workplace are proven to be true. But in the cases that have passed by our Calgary employment law firm, an employer’s wrongful accusation always comes from either innocent misunderstandings or pure malicious intent.

Let’s say you were accused of stealing on the job or a colleague rumoured that you made a discriminatory remark – you have a lot on the line. Whatever the root of the issue is, your employer has a responsibility to investigate the claim thoroughly and proceed with disciplinary action.

Our dedicated employment lawyers are here to review your case and see if your dismissal is justifiable. We will even determine if Human Resources followed up with the correct procedures.

Calgary Workplace Investigations and Disciplinary Proceedings

An HR Investigation is a standard employee right

Workplace investigations are meant to uncover and document the facts behind an allegation. Your co-workers should never feel bullied or coerced to help support a claim. Whether you are the accused, the claimant or the witness, you should be treated with respect and dignity throughout this process.

The evidence collected throughout the HR investigation should provide an unbiased explanation of events preceding the allegation.

No disciplinary proceedings?

Disciplinary procedures are a set way for an employer to deal with issues regarding your performance, conduct or absence. As an employee, you have the right to a disciplinary hearing during which you can convey your side of the story.

Challenge your dismissal with our help

If your employer couldn’t establish sufficient evidence to support your termination or follow up with acceptable disciplinary proceedings, you could have rights severance or pay-in-lieu.

Terminations without a workplace investigation or disciplinary proceedings are fishy; in fact, they’re unlawful. You could have a case for wrongful dismissal, and our team at Osuji & Smith Lawyers is here to help.
