Time Theft | Wage Fraud

Time theft, also referred to as wage fraud, is a significant issue, especially in companies that employ many field staff. The temptation to cut corners at work, knowing that the employer has limited means of verification, is high for many employees. It often starts with small deviations that gradually become larger. The more frequently time theft goes unnoticed and without consequences, the bolder the offender becomes.

At this point, the detectives of the Aaden Detective Agency Munich can obtain the necessary evidence through targeted observation of the employee during working hours and precise documentation of their activities: +49 89 7007 4378-0.

Time Theft Under the Employer’s Eyes | Investigations by Our Munich Business Detectives

In some cases, it is not only field staff who commit time theft; office employees also deceive their supervisors. The employee may handle personal matters during regular working hours, such as personal phone calls, shopping, emails, online banking, browser games, vacation planning online, and so on, or start the workday very slowly by missing appointments and leaving tasks unfinished. Others stay at work longer than their colleagues, ideally catching up on missed tasks, and record excessive overtime. A similar situation occurs when an employee stays later than all colleagues, leaves shortly after them, but logs significantly more overtime.

Since discreet observation by an outsider would be immediately noticeable, deploying a detective as a supposed employee is an effective approach. This allows the investigator to approach the target inconspicuously and document the fraud in a court-admissible manner.
