Employee complaint investigation checklist

Use this five-step checklist to keep a workplace fact-finding file organized. It is a documentation guide, not a substitute for HR policy or legal requirements.

1. Record the complaint or reported issue, scope, dates and responsible reviewer.
2. Build a chronology that separates reported events from the dates information was received.
3. Plan interviews, record contact attempts and identify follow-up questions.
4. Track relevant documents and sources, including conflicting information and gaps.
5. Assign outstanding actions and review the file before summarizing findings.

What should an HR investigation file organize?

A practical working file commonly needs a clear allegation or issue, chronology, interview documentation, source and evidence tracking, follow-up actions, unresolved questions and a structured review of the collected information. CaseWorks separates those functions so investigators can use one focused template or a connected system.
