Compliance Statement

It has been noted that when a company undertakes an investigation on one of its employees there is a possibility that it will go into litigation. This is precisely the reason why A&E Detective Group, Inc. always suggests that the companies should have an attorney for such cases on behalf of the employees.

Private Investigators Act (CA)

Through this act California Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA) is authorized to ask for a private investigators license from an investigative firm or an individual investigator who undertakes investigative service of any suspected misconduct or reliability of a new employee for the benefit of an employer. A violation of this law by any firm or individual would land it in jail for one year or a fine of $5000 or both. However the actual employee of the concerned employer or an attorney at law does not come under the purview of this restriction.

Consultant Investigation

Without a private investigator’s license the Human Resource Consultants are also not allowed to undertake an investigation on their own. If this rule is violated then they may be charged a fine by the DCA. However this law does not subject any employer to a fine if they take up an HR consultant without this license. An employer may face a litigation problem if an HR consultant without a license undertakes an investigation on an employee and terminates him for misconduct and the terminated employee challenges the validity of the investigation.

So, you must be wondering what may be the solution.

Here comes A&E Detective Group, Inc. that offers you a deal with a lot of benefit for your choice of investigation consultants. You may also contemplate on the following –
1] You may select and employ a Human Resource Manger who is not biased and perform an investigation under the guidance and support of a qualified employment counsel. The HR Manager should be able to keep all matters discreet and keep good records for the employee's Human Resource File; or
2] Hire an independent employment attorney who can undertake such investigation being aware of the fact that his/her efforts can be subjected to litigation discovery; or
3] Hire a licensed and professional investigation firm that has the requisite proficiency in workplace investigations. A&E Detective Group, Inc. is such an experienced investigation firm with a team of qualified and trained investigators.
