Undeclared Work: Damage to Companies, the State, and Citizens

Undeclared work is, of course, a general economic problem, as it is associated with deliberate tax evasion and social security fraud. However, for entrepreneurs and potential clients of our Frankfurt detectives, undeclared work can also result in significant financial damage to their business operations.

Undeclared Work During Sick Leave

Employees may call in sick, continue receiving wage payments, and at the same time engage in lucrative undeclared work, for which they now have time due to the feigned illness. Alternatively, an employee may breach their duty of loyalty to the employer by working illegally for a competitor alongside their regular employment, or even by operating as a covert self-employed competitor and actively poaching clients.

The detectives of Aaden Commercial Detective Agency Frankfurt monitor employees on sick leave and can provide court-admissible proof of undeclared work: +49 69 1201 8454-0. If the undeclared work is performed for a competitor, that competitor may also face severe penalties once the illegal activity is exposed.
