Employment matters we investigate
- Employee claiming injury
Working as claim investigators within the insurance industry for a long number of years, we know an insurer will seek proof that their insured has done everything possible to mitigate liability.
We carry out discreet surveillance on an employee suspected of fraudulently claiming injury . Covert surveillance will prove that injury is genuine, exaggerated, or a complete fabrication. Photographic/video evidence is presented in a professional court formatted evidence report, and attested to in any subsequent tribunal or court hearing.
- Employee Dismissal
Where an employee alleges that they have been
unfairly dismissed, and resort to litigation, we can investigate. We look for evidence and information in support of dismissal. It is our experience, that evidence supporting the validity of the dismissal of an employee, will certainly aid in achieving a satisfactory outcome for the employer. As an employer, you will be
vindicated in terms that you have acted properly. It will also let your workforce know, that any unfounded
allegations against you, will be robustly challenged and defended.
- Employee suspected of theft
The situation where an employee is suspected of stealing from an employer, has always been an area where a huge amount of the discretion is required. With today's "claim culture", it is prudent that an employer has incontrovertible evidence in support of an allegation of theft against an employee, before making such an allegation. Otherwise, an employer could find themselves involved in costly litigation, where the alleged offender makes a counter claim of unfair dismissal and defamation.
Depending on the strength of available evidence, it can often prove beneficial to have a discreet investigation carried out as a means of strengthening a case of theft. There are various ways of gaining supporting evidence of theft. At JC Associates Investigative Services, our very experienced investigators have the expertise in compiling solid evidence-reports in cases of theft related matters.
- Industrial espionage
While most businesses will not have any issues concerning the theft of confidential information, it does occur within various sectors of business. Perhaps a disgruntled employee is stealing your vital confidential business information
and giving it directly to a rival business competitor. Whatever an employee's motives might be, should it be revenge or for pure financial gain, it is a fundamental breach of their contract of employment.
In such matters, it is imperative to have a strong body of evidence to prove a case of industrial espionage against an employee. We have the knowledge and many years of experience in investigating cases of this nature. Our evidence reports have been successfully used in dismissal proceedings, and, in the criminal prosecution of employees found stealing confidential business information.
