Employee Investigations

Case Studies
The Accident At Work
The managing director of a logistics company contacted us as they were concerned about a member of staff who suffered a light injury at work, he had received treatment for the injury on-site and was allowed to leave with full pay until he felt well enough to return to work. A week or so later they were contacted by a ‘No Win, No Fee’ legal firm stating that the employee wished to take legal action as his injuries were so severe he could not drive, he could not walk or even care for himself and was relying on friends and family to care for him. Our team performed a Data Protection Impact Assessment and with the approval of the MD put a plan together to conduct surveillance at the employee’s house for a single day and find out if he appeared to be house-bound. Within a matter of hours the employee was seen walking to his vehicle and heading out to local shops, he walked over a mile and up a flight of stairs before returning to his vehicle and then to his house. The video evidence we provided was used to demonstrate to the insurance company that the claim was fraudulent and also to dismiss the employee in an employment tribunal that followed shortly after.

Fraudulent Tender Process
The director was contacted by a contractor they has used on a previous project and informed that one of the partners had been giving out details of competitors tenders in exchange for cash rewards. He claimed that he had been given details of the most competitive bid in exchange for a sum in excess of £10,000, in addition to that he had been given directions on how to inflate his invoices to recoup the funds in additional costs throughout the process.

Employee Investigation FAQ's
More often than not the investigation will be done internally and by a line manager.
The problem with this is that they may not have the necessary investigation skills, they may be biased as they know the employee, the investigation may take longer than required and the results may not be as thorough leading to poor decision making.
FAQ
The length of the investigation will depend on the nature of the case, the severity of the accusation and the level of evidence that is required. Employee investigations tend to range from 10-21 days, however some cases are solved in a couple of days and some take in excess of 30 days.
