How Can a Private Investigator Help Me Prove an Employee is Moonlighting?


Moonlighting Private Investigations

A private investigator at Sentry Private Investigators can be instrumental in helping you or your business gather evidence to prove that an employee is moonlighting, which refers to an employee working a second job without disclosing it to their primary employer. Here's how a private investigator in Birmingham can assist you in this situation:

  1. Surveillance: Private investigators at SPI are skilled in conducting surveillance discreetly. They can monitor the activities of the employee in question, both during and outside of their working hours, to determine if they are engaged in any unauthorised employment.

  2. Background checks: SPI can delve into the employee's background and conduct thorough research to uncover any additional employment. We can check public records, social media profiles, and online job platforms to identify any potential secondary job opportunities the employee might be involved in.

  3. Undercover operations: In some cases, Sentry Private Investigators may need to go undercover to gather concrete evidence. This could involve the us posing as a potential employer or customer to engage with the employee and gather information about their moonlighting activities.

  4. Documenting evidence: SPI gather evidence such as photographs, videos, time-stamped records, and witness statements to substantiate our findings. These records can serve as proof that the employee is indeed moonlighting.

  5. Legal compliance: It's important to ensure that the methods used by any private investigator are legal and adhere to UK privacy laws. Reputable private investigators at SPI are well-versed in the legal requirements and guidelines surrounding surveillance and other methods of evidence collection.

  6. Court proceedings: If you decide to take legal action against the employee, SPI can provide you with the evidence and documentation needed to support your case in court. Our findings can bolster your argument and increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.

Remember, it's crucial to consult with legal professionals before initiating any investigations or taking any legal steps. They can guide you through the process and ensure that you are acting within the boundaries of the law.
