Kevin Jones is a panelist for the "Workplace Investigator in the Hot Seat: Issues of Privilege and Impartiality" session at the ABA Employment Rights and Responsibilities Committee Midwinter Meeting and National Symposium on Technology in Labor and Employment Law.

Overview

This panel will consist of role-playing, with an investigator being cross-examined and rehabilitated during a binding arbitration of an investigation. It will focus on key challenges to investigators, including preparation, technique and neutrality, since they are paid by the employer and under the attorney-client, work-product privileges, and discovery requests. The fact pattern of the investigation will raise other issues, such as mental disability or insubordination, as well.
