Six steps to follow when you face an administrative investigation with your employer

An administrative investigation into your employment can be a stressful and daunting experience. It is essential to be well-prepared to ensure that you have the best possible outcome. Here are some tips on how to prepare for an administrative investigation into your employment:

  1. Understand the investigation process: It’s important to know how the investigation process works. Typically, an investigator will gather evidence and conduct interviews to determine if there has been any misconduct. It’s essential to understand the allegations and the process of the investigation so you can prepare accordingly.
  2. Gather and organize documents: Gather all documents that could be relevant to the investigation. This may include employment contracts, performance evaluations, emails, and any other relevant correspondence. Make sure all documents are organized, so you can easily access them during the investigation.
  3. Review your company’s policies and procedures: Review your company’s policies and procedures that relate to the allegations made against you. This will help you understand what your employer expects of you and how you should have acted in the situation.
  4. Consider legal representation: It’s a good idea to consult with a lawyer who specializes in employment law. They can help you understand your rights and obligations during the investigation process and provide legal advice on how to proceed.
  5. Prepare for the interview: If you are going to be interviewed as part of the investigation, it’s essential to be prepared. Review the allegations against you and practice answering questions that may be asked. Be truthful, but also make sure to emphasize your positive contributions to the company.
  6. Take time to care for yourself: An administrative investigation can be stressful and emotional. Take time to care for yourself and prioritize self-care. Reach out to supportive friends and family.  Consider seeking professional counseling if needed.

Preparation is key when it comes to an administrative investigation into your employment. By understanding the process, gathering and organizing relevant documents, reviewing policies and procedures, considering legal representation, preparing for the interview, and taking care of yourself, you can be well-prepared for the investigation process and ensure the best possible outcome.
