Taking sick leave by making false excuses of illness to take a long leave has become common in companies. Managers of companies troubled by this have found a solution to this. Companies are hiring private detectives against the staff going on leave by taking sick leave. They investigate and tell whether the staff taking sick leave is really sick or they are making excuses. These private detectives, if needed, cross-examine the hospital, doctor and even interrogate the staff and get to the bottom of the truth.
German companies are spying on sick leave indiscriminately
Companies in germany are taking the services of private detective agencies to spy on the staff taking sick leave. A heated debate has started on morality in social media regarding this. German companies argue that taking unnecessary sick leave by lying reduces the productivity of companies. It also affects the country's economy. To face these economic challenges, German companies hire private detectives to identify unproductive staff. According to a Hindustan Times report, Markus Lentz, founder of Frankfurt-based private detective firm Lentz Group, said that he is currently handling 1200 cases of spying on company staff. In a few years, the number of such cases has doubled.
Detectives are giving strange reasons
Private detectives investigating sick leave are bringing out strange reasons after investigation. Like a staff member has taken sick leave to renovate the house or for some work related to the family business. However, the reasons for taking sick leave are not always wrong. Experts say that it is important to investigate the reasons for the increase in sick leave. Especially the aspects of mental health should definitely be investigated. This is better than getting spied upon.
