Suspect an Employee? Observations by Our Detectives Provide Clarity

Sometimes employees are reliable and trustworthy for years, but sudden changes in behavior can occur: tardiness, lack of concentration, increased sick leave, significant drops in sales, irregularities in cash register handling, working hours, or expense reports. In such cases, suspicion often arises that the employee is engaging in unauthorized secondary employment, unlawfully enriching themselves at your expense, accepting bribes from competitors to pass on internal company information, or—especially in cases of feigned illness—is simply unmotivated or lazy.

The specialized and seasoned commercial detectives of Aaden Detective Agency Frankfurt work on behalf of you as an employer, scrutinizing the employees in question. Observation is often the most effective method to gain certainty and secure court-admissible evidence.

Court-Admissible Evidence Collection

Employees engaged in secondary employment often do not inform their primary employer and/or conduct such work as undeclared labor. This is best documented through employee observation, where the target person (TP) is discreetly monitored over several days by our detectives from Frankfurt. If suspicion involves theft of company property, monitoring the TP during working hours is necessary. In such cases, the so-called inclusion method is used. One of our commercial investigators—equipped with an appropriate “cover story”—is integrated as a regular employee into your company and can observe the TP unobtrusively.

Regardless of the method employed, you will receive detailed, court-admissible evidence to hold the offending employee accountable. For a non-binding consultation, contact our commercial detectives in Frankfurt at +49 69 1201 8454-0 or info@aaden-detektive-frankfurt.de.
