Which of the following is not a legitimate purpose of an investigation for employee misconduct?

To gather evidence for disciplinary action
To catalog information about employees that might be derogatory for future use
To ensure compliance with company policies
To maintain workplace safety

The correct answer is: To catalog information about employees that might be derogatory for future use

The correct choice reflects a lack of ethical and legitimate purpose in the context of employee misconduct investigations. Cataloging information about employees that may be derogatory for future use suggests a potential for misuse of information for retaliation or discrimination, which goes against the principles of fair and just treatment in the workplace. In contrast, gathering evidence for disciplinary action, ensuring compliance with company policies, and maintaining workplace safety all align with the proactive and protective goals of an investigation. These purposes are about ensuring accountability, upholding standards, and fostering a safe and compliant work environment. Investigative practices should focus on promoting a respectful and fair workplace rather than creating a repository of potentially harmful information unrelated to legitimate business needs.
