HR rules and regulations

I have another scenario... please assist me with some info!! Two employees were formally put through an HR investigation. During the inestigation they were told that they have to write certain things on the statements when they were interviewed and were not given copies of the statements immediately. At the moment of counselling they were both brought into the same room and given their cousellings together. Statements have also been made due to their relationship status on prior occations. Is this practice allowed or have boundaries been crossed?

"Is this practice allowed or have boundaries been crossed?"

It's allowed.  There are no boundaries when it comes to counseling and getting statements.  Many companies have policies on how it is to be done but they aren't legally binding and they can deviate from it without consequence.

I was first referring to written investigative statements and secondly verbal statements made to employees about work and their relationship that has nothing to do with the issues.

What about the fact that the counseling that was given to one idividual was changed at the indiiduals request, due to it untruthful nature, by the immediate managers and HR. The other idividuals counseling was also untruthful, the individual asked for it to be changed and was denied. This was the same situation and both idividuals partook in the same action requiring couseling.  

You are so knowledgable. I appreciate your time.

It is a popular misconception that when it comes to statements made in the workplace for counseling reasons that the employer has to meet the same standards as a criminal investigation.  They do not.  If they want to tell the employee to write the moon is made of green cheese they can.  The employee can refuse to provide the statement.  They can be terminated for refusing.  However, a termination under that circumstance (i.e. we want you write a statement saying Susie is stealing) would guarantee UI benefits and a slander suit for Susie if the employee did write it and it wasn't true.  

Unless the difference was the result of age, gender, race or other protected characteristic, it's legal.

If two employees have something going on or not  --at work or elsewhere--the employer can perhaps even toss a coin and set one adrift--its not a legal issue as such.
