Hello ABC8708- I can appreciate your dilemma with the delicacy of this situation. However, it is important to maintain your position as the HR representative for the employees AND the company. I would first advise higher management 'over' the boss that is named in the complaint. This may not be the first complaint against this person so it is vital to place in a formal record. Because the employees are requesting a signed receipt tells me they have been in a similar situation and have been taught through experience that nothing will happen. It also tells me that this 'boss' may have influence to keep him out of trouble.
Maintain your professionalism. Speak to higher management. Keep accurate records of everything. Represent all parties fairly. And as already suggested, this may not be a company you wish to work for, so I would update the resume as well in case you are put in the middle and receive retaliation from the boss in the complaint.
Best of luck~
