Hi,
Looking for some guidance on a matter at my workplace whereby I am currently part of an investigation.
On 10/3 I recieved a call from HR to state that I would be sent a letter shortly to invite me to a workplace investigation regarding a matter of conduct. I asked what it was about but the lady would not tell me.
On 11/3 I recieved said letter via email inviting me to a meeting on 17/3, yet still no explanation of what the meeting was about.
On 17/3 I attended the meeting and was told that it was in relation to a matter I had not directly been involved with this time around (contract), yet in the past (4 years ago) I had been. However the reason I was being questioned still was not clear yet I preceded to answer their questions anyway. It was not until the last question where I got an understanding of what the issue may be and in essence I was asked if I knew of anyone that had offered or asked for money in relation to the contract, which I didn't. As I was not involved in it.
On 24/3 I was sent an email with a copy of my meeting transcript, which wasn't exactly how things were said and bits didn't make sense with interviewer contradictions and mistakes, but I noted this and sent it to my personal email for reference and record. I was not asked to go back with any corrections, nor was I asked to sign to validate the transcript yet the copy I sent to my email from work will prove in future I made updates on those discrepancies in case of any comeback. I was also advised in the email that they expect to complete the investigation within the next 5 days and that I should hear back following the Easter break, which actually wasn't until 13 days!
It's now been 28 days following that email and I have heard nothing. Should I be going back and asking what the status is? Whilst I do not feel I have done anything wrong that's not stopping me feeling anxious about why I was questioned and how that will be portrayed by others, I am all too familiar with workplace gossip and the bias that it imposes, regardless of whether that is right or wrong.
I am aware that others are involved as there are a number of people involved in said contract however I have not spoken with them on this, although because I have not been kept informed by the business in line with their notes I'm starting to think I should ask one of them if they have heard anything.
Any advice appreciated.
