Watkins Ward Group: Companies hiring private investigators to watch employees

Working from home

Working from home

Millions of workers are working from home during the novel coronavirus pandemic. Now, some companies are taking extreme measures to make sure their employees are actually working.

A private investigator in Manchester says that companies are hiring the agency to check up on workers who are skipping out on work. "If we get the call, usually they're pretty sure it's happening," said Brian Sladden. "They just need the documentation evidence so, when they decide to go with the termination, they have the proof."

Is your company spying on you? Digital surveillance tools track your productivity when working from home and are now being implemented on work devices.

Over the past several weeks, Sladden says they have documented employees doing a number of non-work activities including golfing, boating and fishing. Another discovery took them by surprise. "A top executive was having a relationship with a subordinate and they were 'Zooming' from the same house but in different rooms."

Sladden said it bothers him to find people taking advantage of their employer, when many people have been laid off due to the pandemic.
