Discreet Investigation

Employers wishing to investigate staff that are deliberately undermining the company often feel trapped, considering the complex legalities surrounding the employment relationship. The need for discretion in any workplace investigation is paramount. Our private investigators work closely with a number of HR departments and directors to protect businesses against rogue employees and financial losses.
Employee Investigations may be investigating the claims or severity of an accident at work or the need for long term sick leave, or we may assist with solving cases of workplace theft. This may involve surveillance and person tracing, among other services. Where there is a specific accusation, we provide proportional solutions that are not only optimal for the particular problem at hand, but also in line with all employment contracts and relevant legislation.

Value

We plan our investigations meticulously to leave nothing up to chance, and we keep employers up to date at every stage. Many of our clients say this is why they see us as trusted partners of their business, working towards a shared goal. We provide robust reports which are admissible as evidence in court, so that you are not limited to employment tribunals. Our investigators will be prepared to stand as witnesses, in the event that this is required.

Does Employee Investigations apply to me?

There are rumours an absent employee may be working somewhere else.

Employee Investigations

When an employee is on long term sick leave, most employers treat the situation with sensitivity and offer support as best they can. If you suspect an employee of working elsewhere while receiving sick pay, you might be worried about how to investigate while respecting their employment rights and rights to privacy. By sharing details of the rumours with us, we can begin an investigation to uncover the truth of an employee’s other work using surveillance techniques. The footage captured on hidden, body-worn cameras can provide enough evidence to confront the employee and take action.

Somebody is making a false claim about my business.

Employee Investigations

If there is a claim or accusation against your business, our team can provide services to help evidence the truth beyond reasonable doubt. This may involve surveillance services to gather footage of staff, or mystery shoppers who attend the business premises to record the customer experience and behaviour of employees. We can also assist with gathering and sorting paperwork to collate proof against accusations of fraud or illegality.

Can I investigate an employee legally?

Employee Investigations

If you have reasonable cause to believe an employee is committing fraud or theft, or is breaching their contract, you can hire a private investigator to collect evidence. Our business will not undertake any illegal activity, and we take steps to ensure that our investigations are always proportional to the actions of an employee.

What our customers said

When my son’s wife became unstable and left him she took everything including their two very young children. Having been asked to care for them for a significant part of their lives I was worried and didn’t know what to do. When I thought of a private investigator I was so fortunate in finding Reveal. The operatives were extremely courteous, thoughtful, sensitive and helpful. They were fully committed and I developed a great trust in their integrity in the six days they were working. Their results showed the inadequacies of the mother in a way that is helpful to the children who were at the heart of this enquiry, not only for us but for the operatives also. I cannot speak too highly of them.

An outstanding professional service provided throughout the entire investigation from beginning to end. The advice, guidance and information I received was fantastic and I could not have achieved such a positive outcome without you and your team, as the end result was just priceless! Therefore I would highly recommend your organisation to anyone if they need someone to provide an excellent confidential service, which is professionally administered and obtains the right information to achieve excellent results. Thank you and well done!

I dealt with Reveal when I had suspicions my husband of two years was cheating on me. I found them a great company to deal with, very professional, friendly and went out of there way to help me. I would highly recommend them to anyone who has worries about their relationship
LPSmall Heath
Reveal were quite simply amazing! After months of feeling uncertain and sick about what was going on I had clarification within a week of them taking on my case. I had the proof I needed backed up with picture evidence. You never made me feel like I was doing anything wrong, you provided an amazing service, with a quick turnaround and offered me support and updates the whole way through. I wish I had known about you sooner and would happily recommend your services to anyone in a similar situation.

16 years of searching and reveal reunited me and my father within half an hour/an hour! So happy with the price! So happy with the staff! This company brought my family back together.. couldn't thank them enough
CPTelford
My partner worked incredibly long hours and it was putting a strain on our relationship, it was hard to prove whether he was telling the truth or not as he was the company director and often had meetings all across London which regularly involved going for drinks with clients. The investigators discovered that one of the clients wasn't actually a client and after seeing him with her on multiple occasions were able to get photographs of them visiting a hotel together. It was hard to take but I have since moved on and think this probably saved me wasting years of my life in a relationship that was inevitably destined to fail.

The Accident At Work

Case Studies

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.
