Do you suspect your staff of malingering, false absenteeism, persistant sickness or falsely claiming injury costs?

WIA are experts in the field of professional surveillance providing corporate clients and HR departments across the UK with the level of evidence necessary to prove  employee false absenteeism/sickness and/or breach of contract violations in the workplace.

Staff absences for any reason are costly and disruptive to all businesses, large or small, and directly affect company profits and staff moral.  The practice of false injury and false absenteeism/sickness is increasing dramatically in the UK and is costing U.K. businesses millions of pounds a year in unnecessary sick pay and false injury compensation.

Professionally obtained evidence = disciplinary and/or dismissal

Warwickshire Investigation Agency specialise in obtaining such evidence by legal means of covert surveillance. We can provide evidence in the form of photographs and filmed footage that will either support or disprove the allegations, and we will provide professional statements and reports that are produced by experienced operatives.

Contact WIA now for your Free, no obligation consultation. We work with you, within the parametres of your company staff handbook and within the law to provide you with the proof you need to proceed further.

The latest report (2008) issued by the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD) calculates that the national average employee absenteeism is 8.1 days per year, costing the employer an average of £850 per absent employee.  This is in addition to the indirect costs of absenteeism, being the potential negative impact on service delivery and staff morale.

Whilst staff absenteeism is genuine in many cases, there are unfortunately the occasions when this is not so.  As an employer, you will no doubt have policies and procedures to keep these instances to a minimum, however the sad truth is that every now and then, some do slip through the net.   In such cases, having considered your other options, it may be time to consider gaining hard evidence to support your fears.  As an employer you have the right to take action that is considered both reasonable and proportionate in the circumstances; this is where Warwickshire Investigation Agency can help you.
