Corporate Investigation Case Studies – Real Results
Employee Misconduct – False Sick Leave
A UK-based manufacturing company suspected an employee of abusing sick leave. Our investigators used discreet surveillance and GPS tracking to confirm the employee was working another job while on paid leave. Evidence was presented at a tribunal, saving the company thousands in fraudulent sick pay.
Garden Leave Breach – Client Poaching
A sales manager placed on gardening leave was suspected of contacting clients. Through covert monitoring, we gathered proof of contract breaches and client solicitation. The evidence supported swift legal action, protecting the company’s client base and revenue.
