Eclipse Legal Services provides discreet Employee Investigations Birmingham businesses can use when they need clear facts about a workplace concern. Cases may involve suspected misconduct, false sickness claims, fraud, theft or misuse of a company vehicle.
We gather evidence in a careful way. This can include surveillance, vehicle tracking and written reports. We only use these methods when they are suitable and lawful. Each case is reviewed before work starts.
A workplace investigation should begin with a clear reason. The scope should match the issue being checked. It should also avoid gathering more information than is needed.
We can support businesses with concerns such as:
The work may form part of an HR or legal process. It may also support a disciplinary review. Our role is to record facts. The client can then review the evidence and decide what to do next.
Surveillance may help when direct observation is justified. It must also match the concern.
Our operatives can monitor activity and record what happens. Reports may include time-stamped photos or video where suitable. This gives the client a clear record of what was seen.
The aim is not to make assumptions about an employee. It is to document facts. This can support an internal review. It can also help a legal adviser assess the next step.
Eclipse Legal Services works across Birmingham and the wider UK. Our team includes male and female operatives. Their backgrounds include the police, armed forces and intelligence services.

GPS tracking may form part of Employee Investigations Birmingham when a company vehicle is relevant to the case.
Tracking can record routes, stops and vehicle movements. This may help with concerns about unauthorised use. It can also help check unusual routes or activity linked to a wider case.
Vehicle tracking must be used with care. Employers need to consider privacy and data protection duties. A work vehicle may also be used for private journeys. In those cases, tracking outside work may be hard to justify.
We discuss the facts before taking an instruction. We can then explain what information may be gathered.
An investigation is only useful if the evidence is clear. Eclipse Legal Services can provide written reports. These may include supporting photos or video where relevant.
Reports can record dates, times, locations and observed activity. This gives the client a clear record. It can then be reviewed with internal documents and other evidence.
We handle instructions in confidence. We also keep the work focused on the agreed purpose.
Employee monitoring should not be used without a clear need. UK data protection guidance says employers should know why monitoring is required. They should also use the least intrusive method that can meet that need.
Covert monitoring is only likely to be justified in limited cases. This can include suspected serious misconduct or criminal activity. The work should be focused. It should be short in duration and properly approved.
For Employee Investigations Birmingham involving surveillance or tracking, clients should review their HR and data protection duties. Legal or employment advice may also be useful before action is taken.
