Investigative Services
CRIMINAL & CIVIL LITIGATION
Pre-trial preparation; uncover factual material; analyze data for strategy; evaluate evidence
Investigating parties to a dispute, obtaining or confirming facts alleged in a complaint, and uncovering critical information during litigation often determines the likelihood of a favorable outcome or decision.
WITNESS LOCATE/INTERVIEWS
Identify & locate reluctant witnesses; confirm facts; obtain recorded/written statements
We handle every aspect of this critical legal procedure from the claimant, witnesses, medical professionals, employees, co-workers, or anyone who has information essential to the investigation.
BACKGROUND CHECKS
Criminal history; credit report; judgments/liens; bankruptcies; character references
If an employee’s actions hurt someone, the employer may be liable. A bad hiring decision can wreak havoc on a company’s budget and reputation. Employers should not feel secure in relying on their instinct as a basis to hire.
PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING
Verify academic degrees, state licensing records; experience; driving records; military records; previous employers
False or inflated information supplied by job applicants is frequently in the news. Estimates are that 40% of all job applications and resumes include false information.
EMPLOYEE THEFT/INTEGRITY CHECKS
Covert audio/video monitoring
Employees steal in many ways. While some take money and property, other forms of employee theft may take more subtle forms such as wasting time, alienating customers or punching a time clock for another employee.
TITLE VII / EEOC
Sexual harassment; age, ethnic, religious, gender, or disability discrimination
Under Title VII, ADA and ADEA, it is illegal to discriminate in any aspect of employment including hiring and firing, compensation, assignment or classification of employees, transfer, promotion, layoff or recall.
WORKMAN’S COMPENSATION CASES
Fraudulent injuries; unsafe work environment
Every claim an employee files results in higher annual premiums for your company. These claims can also trigger inquiries from State Occupational Safety organizations, Dept of Labor, and OSHA.
EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY
Personal phone calls; internet surfing & shopping; sexually explicit emails
Reduce wasted time by monitoring employee phone conversations for quality control, courtesy, professionalism and customer satisfaction. Eliminate sexually explicit materials and emails or other unwanted items being sent/received by employees on company computers.
