Employee Misconduct and Workplace Investigations for Columbus Employers

wpusername1185Private Investigation

In this article: Workplace investigations look into theft, policy violations, time fraud, and other misconduct with fairness and documentation. 10-8 Protective Services LLC helps Columbus employers and HR teams find the facts.

When an employer suspects theft, falsified time records, harassment, or a conflict of interest, acting on rumors can create legal risk. An independent, well documented investigation gives employers facts to support fair decisions and protects both the company and its employees.

Issues We Investigate

Columbus employers call us about internal theft and inventory loss, time and attendance fraud, misuse of company vehicles, employees working for competitors, policy violations, and leave abuse.

A Fair Process

We coordinate with HR and employment counsel, define the scope in writing, gather documents, conduct lawful surveillance when appropriate, and interview witnesses. Our reports separate verified facts from opinions and allegations.

Why Use an Outside Investigator

An independent investigator reduces the appearance of bias, brings experience in documentation and interviewing, and can testify if a decision is later challenged. That independence often makes the outcome more credible to everyone involved.

Every case at 10-8 Protective Services LLC begins with a confidential conversation. We listen to your concerns, explain what an investigation can and cannot accomplish under Ohio law, and recommend a plan that fits your goals and budget.
