Long-term sick leave protects genuinely unwell employees. However, when abused, it can cost Essex businesses time, money, and trust. Our investigators are highly professional and discreet when carrying out suspected Long-Term Sick Leave Fraud Investigations.
At Private Investigator Essex, we uncover sick leave fraud discreetly and lawfully. Our investigations collect evidence to a court standard, giving you the truth you need to act confidently and within UK law.
What Is Long-Term Sick Leave Fraud?
Sick leave fraud occurs when employees falsely claim illness or injury but are actually:
- Working in another job
- Running a private business
- Performing physical tasks that contradict medical advice
- Travelling or holidaying under false pretences
With remote working and digital sick notes, internal detection has become more difficult. That’s where we step in.

Fraudulent long-term absence can create serious problems:
- Wasted sick pay
