Secondary Job, Hobby, House Construction? Many Reasons for Feigned Illness

If an employee is frequently on sick leave, it is essential to determine the underlying cause. Are there genuine health issues, or are other motives at play? The employee may be using the alleged illness to work on a private construction project, for example, because there is no opportunity to do so outside regular working hours. Alternatively, the employee may be engaged in a time-consuming hobby, such as club sports with tournaments, which they wish to attend without using vacation days.

Even more frequently, false sick notes are linked to unauthorized and therefore illegal secondary employment. Regardless of the individual’s motivation, the daily routine of the allegedly ill employee can be documented in a court-admissible manner through surveillance conducted by our commercial detectives in Frankfurt.

Proof of Behavior Contrary to Recovery

Counterproductive behavior during sick leave—referred to in technical terms as behavior contrary to recovery—also constitutes abuse of sick leave. For example, if an employee who is supposed to rest due to a broken leg spends the weekend attending a lively fair with friends, they are actively hindering their recovery—even if they use walking aids. With reliable documentation of such behavior obtained through surveillance by our Frankfurt detectives, you can take appropriate labor law measures to encourage behavioral change or even terminate the employment relationship.

Detective Surveillance Can Not Only Expose Offenders but Also Restore Trust

An initial suspicion is not proof, and premature judgments should be avoided. In some cases, it turns out that employees on sick leave actually remain at home all day. In such situations, the results of surveillance by our Frankfurt commercial investigators can help restore the trust that may have been damaged between employer and employee: +49 69 1201 8454-0.
