Eclipse Legal Services provides discreet Employee Investigations Leeds businesses can use when they need clear facts about a workplace concern. We can help with cases involving suspected misconduct, repeated absence, fraud or possible misuse of a company vehicle.
We work across Leeds and the rest of the UK. Before any work starts, we look at the reason for the enquiry, the facts already known and the type of evidence that may be useful. The aim is to keep the brief clear from the start.
An employer may need outside support when a concern cannot be resolved through normal checks. The aim is to gather clear information so the business can decide what to do next.
Our Employee Investigations Leeds service can include:
Not every case needs the same approach. The scope should be agreed before any monitoring starts. We keep clients updated as the work moves on.
Workplace monitoring needs care. Privacy, data protection and the rights of the worker all matter.
Eclipse Legal Services can discuss the concern, what evidence is needed and which form of surveillance may be suitable. Our wider surveillance service includes mobile observation, tracking tools and clear written reports.
Covert monitoring should only be used in limited cases and for a clear reason. It should be focused on the issue being checked and kept to the shortest useful period.
GPS vehicle tracking may help where there is a valid concern about the use of a company vehicle. It can also form part of a wider enquiry where vehicle movement is relevant to the facts being checked.
Eclipse Legal Services uses specialist tracking equipment within its surveillance work. Any use of GPS tracking needs to fit the facts of the case and the employer’s legal and data protection duties.
For Employee Investigations Leeds clients, tracking may be used alongside observation and written evidence where it is suitable.
Eclipse Legal Services was established in 2004. The company works with private, business, corporate and local government clients across the UK.
Its investigators come from a range of backgrounds, including the military, police and intelligence services. This experience can help when a case needs careful planning, discreet field work and clear reporting.
Depending on the job, the final material may include written reports, photographs, video or other relevant records. This gives the employer information that can be reviewed with its own HR, legal or management team.
The Director of Eclipse Legal Services is a member of the Association of British Investigators, Resolution and the Institute of Paralegals.
Eclipse Legal Services is based in Manchester and provides investigation services throughout Leeds and the wider UK. The team can plan work around the location, nature of the concern and the evidence required.
Employee Investigations Leeds may also link with other services. For example, a business may need tracing or process serving as part of a separate legal or debt matter.
We will explain the relevant option rather than add services that are not needed. The focus stays on the issue you asked us to look at.
If you are concerned about staff conduct and need independent facts before making a decision, speak to Eclipse Legal Services first. We can discuss the issue and explain what type of investigation may be suitable.

What can an employee investigation look into?
An investigation may relate to suspected misconduct, absence, fraud, policy breaches or possible misuse of a company vehicle. The approach depends on the concern and the evidence already available.
Is employee surveillance legal in the UK?
Employee monitoring can be lawful, but employers must consider data protection, fairness and proportionality. The circumstances and reason for monitoring matter, so employers may also need their own HR or legal advice.
Can an employer use covert surveillance?
Covert monitoring should only be considered in limited circumstances where there is a clear and justified reason. It should be tightly focused and used for no longer than necessary.
Can GPS tracking form part of an employee investigation?
It may be relevant where vehicle movement is linked to a legitimate workplace concern. Its use needs to be considered against the facts of the case and applicable data protection duties.
What evidence can Eclipse Legal Services provide?
Depending on the assignment, evidence may include written reports, time-stamped photographs, video footage or other relevant records gathered during the investigation.
