These investigations carry significant implications for all involved, especially for the employee under scrutiny. \u003cem\u003eWorkplace Investigations\u003c\/em\u003e offers the first comprehensive legal analysis of how such processes are regulated. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on interdisciplinary literature and employing doctrinal, theoretical, and empirical legal research methods, Adriana Orifici examines the central dimensions of law--both statutory and judge-made--that govern employer conduct during investigations. The book critically evaluates these frameworks with a focus on the rights and experiences of the respondent. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCentral to the volume is the development of a normative framework of justice tailored to workplace investigations.

These principles inform a proposal for legal reform aimed at enhancing procedural fairness and accountability. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile rooted in the Australian context, \u003cem\u003eWorkplace Investigations\u003c\/em\u003e offers insights and recommendations that resonate across common law jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Canada.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adriana Orifici\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198969996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198969990\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Adriana Orifici","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48743155138815,"sku":"9780198969990","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/workplace-investigations-adriana-orifici-9780198969990","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
