Breach of Contract Investigations

No matter who is in charge of the economy, it can be tough for anyone, both individuals and corporations. Many employees are looking for ways to maximize their incomes, while many businesses are looking to minimize losses and reduce costs. With high turnover and job loss in some sectors, many companies are turning to contracts to protect themselves from competition or high turnover rates. Companies may have an employee sign a non-competition agreement. This means an employee agrees not to work or trade in any competition with their employer. This also includes if the employee is laid off, as many company secrets or assets could be shared. These agreements generally protect the corporation from the theft of information that may be deemed confidential.

When to Hire a Private Investigator

When it comes to a breach of contract investigation, acting quickly to collect sufficient evidence is vital for maintaining the integrity of your case. It’s important to note that any involvement from a company employee may be viewed as tampering with evidence, which could render your proof inadmissible in court. This is why hiring a private investigator or private detective is essential for obtaining the necessary evidence on your behalf.

Our private investigators and private detectives will leverage their expertise and experience to conduct a comprehensive breach of contract investigation. They will analyze all collected information to help you or your company protect your interests while strengthening your case.

The training required to recover, recreate, and substantiate an employee’s history can significantly impact any employment case involving a contract. Specific state and federal laws may mandate the inclusion of an employee’s history in upcoming litigation, helping to ensure that crucial evidence is not deleted, destroyed, or damaged. Breaches of contract investigations can lead to a variety of challenges, making it essential to hire a private investigator or private detective with expertise in this area to support your case effectively.

Issues in Breach of Contract Investigations

• Wrongful Termination: Refers to the unlawful or unjust dismissal of an employee when an employer violates employment laws or breaches an employment contract. This can include firing an employee based on discriminatory factors, retaliation for whistleblowing, or failing to follow proper procedures outlined in an employment agreement.
• Discrimination: This involves treating an employee or job applicant unfairly based on protected characteristics, such as race, gender, age, disability, religion, or nationality. Actions may include unequal pay, denial of promotions, or unfair treatment in hiring or firing decisions.
• Harassment: Consists of unwelcome behavior, comments, or actions that create a hostile or intimidating environment for individuals or groups. This can be based on factors like race, sex, or religion and may include verbal, physical, or visual harassment.
• Hostile Work Environment: Results from pervasive harassment or discrimination, creating an atmosphere that is intimidating or offensive for employees. This environment can hinder job performance and may lead to legal action against the employer.
• Retaliation: This occurs when an employer takes adverse actions against an employee in response to exercising protected rights, such as filing a complaint or participating in a workplace investigation. Adverse actions can include demotions, suspensions, or terminations.
• Whistleblowers: Individuals who report illegal or unethical activities within their organization to appropriate authorities. Whistleblowers often expose misconduct, fraud, or safety violations and are protected by employment laws from retaliation.
• Breach of Non-Compete Agreement: This happens when an employee violates the terms of an agreement restricting their ability to work for competing companies for a specified period or within a designated area after leaving their current employer.
• Breach of Non-Solicitation Agreement: This occurs when an employee improperly solicits their former employer’s clients, customers, or employees after leaving their job, typically violating the terms of their employment contract.
• Breach of Nondisclosure Agreement (NDA): This takes place when an individual discloses confidential or proprietary information covered by the NDA without authorization. These legally binding contracts aim to protect sensitive business information from being shared with unauthorized parties.

The Role of Private Investigators

A private investigator or private detective plays a crucial role in assisting both employees and employers during a breach of contract investigation. Businesses may face accusations of wrongdoing, such as harassment or wrongful termination, and a skilled private investigator can provide the necessary expertise to navigate these claims. A private investigator or private detective can uncover falsified claims and conduct in-depth background checks if you suspect that important information was concealed during the contract signing process.

For employees feeling discriminated against in their contract, engaging a private investigator or private detective can help you gather the evidence needed to support your case. Breach of contract investigations are serious matters, and having an external private investigator involved can simplify the process of obtaining relevant information. This support will strengthen your position and provide critical evidence should litigation arise.
