Unauthorized Secondary Employment | Undeclared Work

The offenses unauthorized secondary employment, continued wage payment fraud, and undeclared work are closely intertwined. To prove a feigned illness, Aaden Detectives Leipzig primarily document two circumstances: recovery-incompatible behavior by the suspected employee and/or the performance of another paid activity (secondary employment, undeclared work) during sick leave.

All of the offenses mentioned can be proven individually or in combination through surveillance of the suspected employees by Aaden Corporate Detective Agency Leipzig in a discreet and court-admissible manner: +49 341 3549 012-0.

Offenses in Connection with Feigned Illness | Illegal Secondary Employment

In the case of recovery-incompatible behavior, proof is often legally (not technically!) straightforward: if your employee, for example, reported sick due to a sprained ankle but takes part in a tournament with his tennis club, the labor-law misconduct is clearly documented through surveillance by our Leipzig-based corporate detectives. However, one will rarely be lucky enough to obtain such concrete evidence during the first operation, and in any case, with a view to later claims for damages and possible court proceedings, it is advisable to collect indications and evidence over several days.

Especially when it comes to unauthorized secondary employment or illegal employment (undeclared work), a single surveillance operation is not enough. If your employee, for example, submitted a medical certificate of incapacity for work due to a flu-like infection and during sick leave goes to a carpentry shop, it may well be that he is only asking about prices and models for furniture or the like. In such cases, surveillance over several days is required in order to prove the regularity of the activity and document it in a court-admissible manner—this naturally applies equally to employees who are not currently incapacitated for work. The detectives of Aaden Corporate Detective Agency Leipzig will gladly advise you in a case-specific manner in a personal consultation or remotely by electronic means: info@aaden-detektive-leipzig.de.

When Is a Secondary Employment Prohibited?

The following reasons lead to a prohibition of secondary employment:

• If it is competitive activity and a non-compete obligation has been issued.
• If the main employment is demonstrably negatively affected.
• If the legally permitted maximum working time is regularly exceeded through the side job.

Do you suspect that one or more of your employees meets one or more of these criteria? Do not hesitate to call the detectives of Aaden Corporate Detective Agency Leipzig: +49 341 3549 012-0.
