I presented a paper on The Law on Workplace Investigations: An Update on Key
Developments today at the BC "Employment Law Conference 2010" Continuing Legal Education (CLE). The paper can be found at the bottom of this post. The topics I covered were:

1. Does an Employer Have a Common Law Duty to Provide the Employee with a Fair Hearing/Conduct an Investigation?
2. What Exposure to Liability/Damages Does an Employer Face for Failing to Properly Conduct an Investigation?
3. Conducting the Investigation
4. The Use of Lawyers as Expert Witnesses on Workplace Investigations
5. Recovery of Costs Associated With Investigating Criminal Wrongdoing
6. What Duties do Employees Have in Relation to Workplace Investigations?
7. Privilege Concerns and Workplace Investigations

The last time I presented at the Employment Law CLE - in 2006 - my topic was Reference Letters.
