Are you allowed to monitor your employees? We clarify!

There are a few things to consider when it comes to employee monitoring! We will be happy to explain them to you, so that you can legally and safely conduct employee surveillance and ensure safety. First of all, it is important to know that surveillance should never last longer than necessary, and certainly not for many weeks. Depending on the suspicion, different lengths of investigation are aimed at. In the case of suspected wage continuation fraud, the investigation should last approximately three to four days. In the case of suspected working time fraud, the investigation may last up to a maximum of two weeks. Under no circumstances should investigations last longer or be carried out without proper suspicion. This means that no observations should be carried out without a reason.

Why employee monitoring is allowed and important in some cases

We have already clarified that employee monitoring is permitted. However, there are a few things you should keep in mind to avoid getting into trouble yourself. It is very important that you have a so-called “legitimate interest”. Only if this is the case, our detectives can start with the investigation. For example, do you want to monitor an employee who repeatedly calls in sick? Then the repeated sick calls are not sufficient to prove a legitimate interest. It is important that there are actual clues that trigger your suspicions. You should carefully document all suspicious events in order to be able to use them as justification. In addition, it is very important that your suspicions actually involve a crime or crimes, such as theft or work time fraud. Only then can a legitimate interest be accepted and a detective agency be hired.

Employee monitoring – Professional and discreet

There are many reasons to conduct employee monitoring! Whether for example continued payment fraud, expense or accounting fraud, theft, embezzlement or competition violations, we at PRIMECHECK can help you professionally. Employee surveillance is, if there is a legitimate interest, a legitimate and legal means to clarify illegal behavior within your company. Business detectives are specialized in exactly such cases and can therefore quickly provide certainty. You can have employees observed both inside and outside the company. Our detectives adapt to each case individually and develop an investigation plan tailored to your needs. In principle, employee surveillance is allowed and a good method to clarify illegal behavior. However, it is also important to take into account the data protection laws that prevail in Germany. Especially when it comes to personal data, it is important to act with extreme caution and responsibility.

Detective employee monitoring – what measures can be enforced?

Various measures include, for example, individual searches. In addition, we can help you with various technical tools regarding time recording, which can take over a certain control function. Observations are also a possibility of control measures to monitor the employee. We would be happy to work out an individual and case-related measure in a personal meeting.
