Criminal Investigations. Unless otherwise directed by Washington State Public Disclosure laws, when the investigation results in criminal charges being filed, after the investigation is complete, the Employee will be given an opportunity to review the reports of the investigation with the names of all witnesses and complainants that will appear against him/her. This obligation shall continue even if criminal charges have been filed against the Employee, according to current public disclosure laws. This article shall not apply to criminal investigations conducted by the Employer. In such criminal investigations, the Employee’s refusal to answer questions asked by the investigator will not be a basis for disciplinary action against the Employee by the Employer. The Employee has the right to not participate in the interview or the investigation and the right to terminate the interview without resulting in discipline.
