Controlling a work arrest !

Abusive or unreasyed or unreasedial work stoppage has a direct impact on the company’s cash flow. The indirect consequences are numerous, the excessive work stoppage is a brake on productivity and achieved in the image of your company.

Legally speaking, if the supervision of an employee is not provided for in the employment contract, the work of the private investigator is called into question before the courts. The interest in proving a work stoppage is therefore called into question, however the private investigator is an effective lever to overcome this absenteeism.

However, the employer is forced to pay indemnisations for an employee he knows or understands that the work stoppage is abusive.

When does the work stoppage become abusive ?

  • An employee on sick leave is engaged in another professional activity. The employee then receives the remuneration paid by your company and social security but also the fruit of the hidden work.
  • The employee on sick leave leaving home for prolonged boasting
  • He who claims to be no longer able to work for physical or psychological pathologies and engages in physical and sporting activities.

Some employees, whose seniority is long, decides to simulate a sick leave in order to obtain an incapacity to work. In other words, if the occupational doctor decides to grant incapacity, the indence of dismissal is doubled.
