Employee Claims, Investigation and Litigation

Unfortunately, conflicts with employees, former employees, applicants and government agencies can occur even when you have taken reasonable preventative measures.  Claims of misconduct can be made between employees, which the employer must investigate.  Employees can make claims against managers or the company, which must be carefully evaluated and appropriately defended.  Government agencies may find reason to initiate an audit or investigation.  In such situations, early legal counsel is imperative.  The sooner you are apprised of the legal issues and options, the better able you will be to respond.  Such situations should not be left to non-legal advisors or HR form dispensaries.

The attorneys at Alaska HR Consulting can offer years of employment litigation and consulting experience to evaluate your company’s options and to defend your company’s legal interests.  If the conflict is between employees, Alaska HR Consulting can neutrally investigate allegations of harassment, discrimination, substance abuse, theft or other workplace misconduct.  Sometimes internal conflicts are best addressed with mediation or workgroup facilitations. When claims have been made outside the company to an agency or through a lawsuit, there is simply no substitute for prompt legal action.  Whatever the situation, Alaska HR Consulting can assist in the appropriate response.
