“The concept that the opening an investigation into conduct is itself retaliation seems belied by the wealth of case law holding that the placement of an employee on administrative leave pending an internal investigation is not an adverse employment action,” Judge Victoria Marie Calvert wrote. “If placing an employee on leave pending investigation is not necessarily an adverse employment action, then by extension, the simple act of investigating the employee cannot be either.”
