Pretending to be sick is a common practice, not only by students but also employees who want to avoid working. As it can be used to “bridge” certain holidays into a longer vacation, allowing the worker to leave, it has become a quite common practice.
It is also a habit for certain individuals, for which there seems to be no systemic remedy available.
And yet there is!
Since in most extreme cases the suspects tend to participate in outdoor activities on the day of their absence, often carefree, it is quite possible to catch them red-handed, stopping such practices at their root before they multiply.
Before you get into costly motivation or punishment procedures, such as firing an employee who might be genuinely sick, allow us to perform proper research, providing you with the evidence you need against his unacceptable behaviour towards your company but also the other employees.
We are sure that you will be pleasantly surprised at the efficiency, not only where an individual case is concerned, but also by the effect such a course of action will have on the staff as a whole, without ever having to involve the court.

Courts themselves have often accepted that “the usage of a private investigator is not unusual in these cases”.
