Why Licensing Matters for Workplace Investigations

In California, conducting workplace investigations is not just a matter of expertise—it’s a matter of legal compliance. Under California law, only California-licensed private investigators and attorneys are legally permitted to perform workplace investigations for external clients. This is a critical distinction, as many unlicensed individuals and firms may offer these services, putting employers at significant risk.

The Legal Risks of Using Unlicensed Investigators

If an unlicensed person conducts a workplace investigation, the consequences can be severe:

  • Legal Consequences: California law (Cal. B&P Code § 7523, et seq.) mandates that anyone conducting a workplace investigation without the proper licensing could face fines of up to $10,000, imprisonment for up to one year, or both.
  • Invalid Investigations: Any investigation conducted by an unlicensed individual can be invalidated in the event of a grievance, civil service appeal, or civil lawsuit. This not only undermines the integrity of the investigation but also exposes the employer to potential criminal and civil liability.
  • Disastrous Outcomes: Relying on an unlicensed investigator can lead to flawed findings, which may result in improper handling of employee complaints, escalating the issue further and damaging the organization’s reputation.

Why Choose California Labor Solutions?

At California Labor Solutions, we understand the gravity of these legal requirements. Our Principal Licensed Workplace Investigator, Shawn Larry, holds a California Private Investigator License (PI#26311), ensuring that all investigations conducted by him and his team are conducted legally, objectively, and with the highest level of professionalism. We safeguard your organization by delivering investigation reports that are legally sound and compliant with California law.
