Here's a detail many people get wrong: the person running an administrative investigation doesn't have to be an HR specialist at all — it could be a regular employee, an engineer, or a doctor, assigned the task on top of their normal duties rather than as a permanent role. Criminal investigators, by contrast, are appointed by law and assigned through judicial or ministerial order. This course exists to make that distinction clear, along with everything else legal and HR professionals need to run administrative investigations properly and apply labour sanctions correctly.

Getting an investigation right takes more than knowing the rules — the officer handling it needs to be fully across the case details and every legal provision that applies, which means studying the matter from every angle and consulting specialised and judicial references before reaching a conclusion. Underlying all of this is the employment relationship itself: a kind of mutual discipline where employees commit to the duties set out in law and civil service regulations, while management is equally bound to meet its legal obligations on personnel affairs.

• Understand the concept of administrative investigation and how it differs from criminal investigation.
• Identify the different types of administrative violations, and the guarantees that must be observed during an investigation.
