An employer is under a duty to investigate matters in full and allow an employee reasonable time prepare their case. Some employers may opt to appoint an impartial investigator to consider the evidence and produce a report. Where an employee is facing potentially career threatening allegations, the standard required for an investigation is higher. An employer must conduct an “even-handed, careful enquiry” – meaning the investigator must focus equally on any potential evidence that may point towards your being not guilty and/or innocent of the allegations against you. To determine whether there are grounds to bring a cause of action against your employer will require a deeper evaluation of the situation.

Can I sue my employer for deliberate false statements made during an investigation into my conduct. The documents have been shared widely. 

The employee is likely to be disciplined for misconduct. Disciplinaries can result in no action, a verbal warning, a written warning, a final written warning and even in dismissal. If the employee is found guilty of misconduct by using a mobile while driving, which is illegal, we suspect that it would be classed by the employer as gross misonduct resulting in dismissal.

If an employee is caught at work on his mobile phone by his employer and he is a driver, what could the outcome be from the employer?
