Can a private investigator like Pacific Investigations assist with workplace misconduct cases?

[Kerry Hamwood]

Hi everyone,

I'm wondering about the use of private investigators in workplace matters. Specifically, can companies in Australia hire a licensed agency like Pacific Investigations to look into issues such as suspected misconduct, breaches of company policy, or unauthorised absenteeism?

Are there any specific legal requirements or limitations employers should be aware of when engaging a private investigator for employment-related investigations?

Would love to hear any insights or advice on best practices. Thanks in advance!

Yup, PI’s like Pacific Investigations can def help gather evidence for workplace miscondut cases, but obvs there’s legal boundaries on privacy & surveillance laws you gotta keep in mind ⚖️👀
