Employee Dishonesty Investigations

When an employee is suspected of embezzlement, fraud, or other wrongdoing, it is prudent for the employer to undertake an investigation to determine the facts. It is critical that employers refrain from making defamatory statements that may give rise to liability to the employee. The investigation should also be conducted in a legal manner. The results of an employee dishonesty investigation may provide the proper basis for disciplinary action or termination. Our attorneys are prepared to assist with, and conduct, the investigation, and to guide employers through any resulting disciplinary or termination process.
