The qualified corporate investigators of Kurtz Investigations Saarbrücken and Saarland will investigate on your behalf if you suspect that one of your employees is gaining advantages through a false sick note and is thus deliberately harming your company: +49 681 6029 0010.
Naturally, every employee falls ill sooner or later; some people are more susceptible to viruses and bacteria than others, and certain professions inherently involve injuries or problems with the musculoskeletal system. If an employee who has had few or no absences over many years suddenly begins to be absent more frequently for health reasons, this may indeed be a so-called “epidemic year”. However, it is of course reasonable to suspect that the employee may be feigning illness in order to pursue personal interests. If there is an initial suspicion, you should act as promptly as possible and have the validity of the certificate of incapacity for work (AU) checked by our investigators at Kurtz Corporate Investigations Saarbrücken and Saarland.
All too many employees tend to submit a certificate of incapacity for work to their employer for personal reasons rather than health-related ones. Some spend their sick leave renovating their flat or house, pursue an unauthorised and often undeclared secondary occupation (illegal work), take part in a sporting tournament, or simply treat themselves to a few days off without wanting to use holiday entitlement. As an entrepreneur, you understandably have an interest in a reliable and loyal employee, yet you often lack the time and resources (legally admissible evidence, objective witness statements) to discreetly verify the truthfulness of a submitted AU yourself. In such cases, our experienced corporate investigators in Saarbrücken and Saarland will take action. We observe the suspect and, in the event of feigned illness, provide you with the necessary evidence. Obtain non-binding advice: +49 681 6029 0010.
