Employee Monitoring | Staff Screening

Abuse of continued salary payments, expense claim fraud, bribery, thefts to the detriment of the employer or colleagues – disloyal employees commit a variety of offences. The court-admissible clarification of these and countless other acts is carried out by our IHK-certified commercial detectives in the Rhine-Neckar area: +49 621 9535 4001.

Lack of Evidence? Not with Kurtz Detective Agency.

Not every employee who reports sick is actually unwell. Proof of a medical certificate obtained under false pretences is part of the everyday work of our experienced detectives for Heidelberg, Ludwigshafen, Mannheim and the entire Rhine-Neckar area, as is payroll and expense fraud. In these types of offences, as well as theft and embezzlement, perpetrators usually have been operating for an extended period before discovery. As a business owner or HR manager, you may have suspected one or more employees several times but decided to avoid confrontation to maintain the employer-employee trust relationship and to avoid failing in potential labour law disputes due to lack of evidence.

Our Mannheim detective agency advises clients to investigate potential inconsistencies at the first suspicion, as ongoing offences also cause ongoing damage. The IHK-certified investigators of Kurtz Detective Agency provide the necessary court-admissible evidence. The most common and effective investigative methods are, depending on the case, off-site observation of the suspected offender or on-site observation by embedding a detective within your company. We are happy to provide free and non-binding advice on our various discreet and legally secure employee monitoring options. Send us an email with a case description to kontakt@kurtz-detektei-mannheim.de or contact our Rhine-Neckar detective agency by telephone.

Proof of Competition and Contract Violations

Another frequent problem for companies is unwanted competitive contacts by employees. This can occur through unauthorised secondary employment with a competitor, but in many cases employees can also be persuaded by “a small bonus payment” from a competitor to disclose corporate secrets that provide the competitor with an illegal competitive advantage (bribery). Furthermore, self-employed work in the same industry constitutes a breach of the employment contract unless explicitly approved by the primary employer.

Other employees tend towards “mundane” theft of company or colleague property: from low-value items such as printer paper, through high-value devices like laptops and smartphones, to cash – nothing is safe. Not only are the company’s and colleagues’ financial losses an issue, but trust, social cooperation and a constructive working environment are ultimately compromised. Here the rule is: nip it in the bud – swift action is essential to prevent disruption of business operations. We are happy to clarify the aforementioned and many other matters.
