Says Ann E. <<The frequency of employment claims means that many employees are feeling
mistreated in the workplace. And for every complaint alleged in the
workplace there are managers and others who carried out those actions.
Do you have any responsibility in hiring, discipline, granting leaves of
absence, salary and benefits? As you are going through your daily
business, do you think about how your actions may subject you
to liability? Honestly, in the heat of a workplace investigation, or
disciplinary action, do you really have time to sit back and ask
yourself, “could what I’m doing land me in court?”..>>
Says Debbie Pearl: Before you make a decision in favor of a perpetrator, be very sure that you are right. HR is often in the position of helping the employer by messing the life of the victim. You could be liable, more so if you threaten the victim/target, and/or if you take very little action to favor the victim. There are ways of putting a reign on perpetrators and still protecting the victim.
It's not only a matter of conscience, but it's wisdom that should tell you that you better be truthful and do what is right.
