When is Surveillance Investigation Needed?
I'm looking for information on someone's employment.
Surveillance
If you believe one of your staff is working somewhere else while claiming sick time, or if your spouse is being dishonest making up lies about their job, you have reasonable cause to look into where they’re working. It’s possible that you’ve been a victim of fraud, and someone owes you money, but they claim to be unemployed. You’ll need to locate their employer in order to file an attachment of an earnings claim. After an initial consultation with Reveal PI, our team will have the information necessary to create an effective strategy and survey the individual to determine where they are employed.
Because employment is frequently conducted at regular intervals, we can identify optimum times to start monitoring and conducting employee investigations by looking at their known routines. Perhaps they follow a schedule when they leave their house. Our discreet investigators will follow them either in a vehicle or on foot. We will take photos or video recordings to expose where they are working or employed.
In certain cases where employment records are inaccessible, we take the initiative to check on the person’s method of transportation first and their movement patterns. This will provide us with the necessary information to determine where they work or how they source their income.
