Lessons from Dugard

Employment attorney John Phillips points out some lessons in a very strange case:

What happened with Jaycee Lee Dugard shows what can happen in the workplace. A deputy was in the kidnapper’s front yard but failed to go to the backyard, even though the 911 call related to something going on in the backyard. Getting close isn’t good enough when something serious is going on. An employer has a duty to investigate misconduct. The duty extends to completing the investigation with a resolution.
