What constitutes an adequate sexual harassment investigation

Well it is easier to define those few cases which have penalized employers for conducting inadequate investigations.

In Pennzoil the investigators interviewed a number of staff. And subsequently put resulting comments to Mr X. Mr X was an At Will employee.

Nonetheless the courts held that the investigation had failed to distinguish between first hand information and 3rd hand information. Although he was at-will he was awarded $1.7 million compensation. - for unfair dismissal of an at will employee.

The CRO believe that many men are unaware of this development and many men could secure large compensation for inadequate investigation.
