Employee Investigations

Can you be sure your employees are doing what they’re meant to be? Are they really where they are, when they say they are? Reasons to investigate an employee are limitless, for example:

An employee setting up in competition and poaching your clients, especially during garden leave.
Employee theft from your business, such as goods, assets or even trade secrets.
Excessive spends on fuel which can’t be accounted for, resulting in a loss of profit.
Tracking employee productivity and time spent on non-work related activities.

False absenteeism

Another separate type of employee case on the rise is False Absenteeism, whereby an employee is fraudulently claiming sick leave or sick pay. This can result in an unnecessary cost to your company, or a use of resources that could be more productively used.

Employee False Absenteeism is currently on the rise more and more within the United Kingdom, and depending on the size and culture of your workplace, could be costing you a lot. The main reasons we have found for a false sickness claims includes:

Moonlighting (working for themselves or someone else)
Working for a business competitor
Setting up their own business or freelancing
Workplace bullying that makes them feel unable to attend
To make a claim with an insurance company for a false injury

This is just a few examples, there are of course a many more reasons your employees aren;t coming to work when they should be. Once you have evidence you need, you can take steps to resolve the issue or begin the process to terminate that employee and reclaim any fraudulently paid sick pay.
