Being told you're the subject of a workplace investigation is unsettling, especially before you know what's actually being alleged or how serious it is. What you say and do from here can matter a great deal, so it's worth understanding your position before your next meeting.
Worth doing right now
- Ask for the specific allegations in writing if they haven't been given clearly.
- Understand whether you're required to attend an interview, and what support you can bring.
- Keep your own record of every conversation and document you're given.
- Get advice before responding to allegations in writing or in a formal interview.

Common questions
Ask for the allegations in writing if you haven't been given them, get advice before your first interview if possible, and start keeping your own notes of every conversation about it.
Generally an employer should complete a genuine investigation before deciding on dismissal, jumping straight to dismissal without one is itself a process problem worth raising.
