Unauthorised Absence

We are surveillance specialists in all aspects of commercial operations including corporate investigations (OSINT), unauthorised absence to conducting work for a competitor’s company and workplace injury claims.

Why do people hire unauthorised absence investigators?

UK employment law makes it very difficult for an employer to dismiss an employee without following a complex HR procedural route and at each stage having the correct evidence to demonstrate and justify these actions.

What do you need from me to get started?

For us to help we need a written instruction detailing your grievance with the employee and what you suspect him/her of doing. In short, our brief needs to spell out what you need to evidence the desired disciplinary action you want to take. It’s important for your company reputation (and any further action) that each individual is treated with respect so we do not need to investigate aspects that do not concern the process you are engaged in.

How long does an unauthorised absence investigation take?

The tighter and more accurate the brief the quicker we can report back. Typically we are talking days not weeks although as in life nothing is certain but as part of the original instruction, we would discuss and agree a budget so would not exceed this without prior written agreement.

What do I receive at the end of the unauthorised absence investigation?

As part of the brief, we would provide you with court standard evidence allowing you to proceed along the disciplinary process with the confidence you are acting both morally, legally and in the best interest of your company and employees.

How much does an unauthorised absence investigation cost?

We charge our standard rate of £85.00 per hour per investigator plus expenses.
