legalcode-investigation-plan-builder

Build structured investigation plans for workplace complaints and compliance matters — from intake triage through investigation design, investigator assignment, interview guide generation, timeline construction, and regulatory deadline mapping. Use when a complaint has been received (harassment, discrimination, retaliation, hostile work environment, wage and hour violation, OSHA safety complaint, code-of-conduct violation, whistleblower allegation, workplace misconduct) and a structured investigation framework is needed before or alongside formal investigation execution. Also use when an HR or compliance officer asks "how do we investigate this complaint," "who should investigate," "what questions should we ask," or "what documents do we need." Produces: investigation complexity tier (PRELIMINARY / STANDARD / COMPLEX / CRISIS); scoped investigation plan with milestone timeline; investigator assignment and conflict-of-interest analysis; tailored interview guides for complainant, respondent, and corroborating witnesses; document and evidence collection checklists; interim protective measures recommendations; complainant and respondent communication templates; regulatory deadline maps (EEOC, OSHA, NLRB, EU Whistleblowing Directive 2019/1937, UK ACAS, AU Fair Work Commission); and Glass Box audit trail. Jurisdiction-agnostic core with US/UK/AU [JURISDICTION-SPECIFIC] markers. Complements legalcode-internal-investigation for full-lifecycle execution.
