Does Your Employer Have to Inform You About Discipline of Another Worker
An employee was physically assaulted at work, and the incident was caught on camera. The employee reported the attack to H.R. and they were informed that an investigation would be conducted. A week later, the employee who committed the assault is still at work and H.R. has nothing to say about the discipline. Does the employee have any right to demand information about the status of the investigation and what consequences or discipline may follow?
Re: Does Your Employer Have to Inform You About Discipline of Another Worker
No, the employee has no right to know the status or outcome of the investigation, or the nature of any discipline imposed upon the co-worker.
If this was a serious assault, the employee can report the incident to the police. (I make no promises on how the employer would react to such a report or police investigation.)
