Here, the employer had a hard time overcoming the impression that its zealous investigation regarding the complaining employee‘s past performance was motivated solely by the complaint. This is another key lesson--the investigation regarding an alleged assault or complaint of harassment should be related to the complaint or issues raised in the complaint.
