German Employers Hire Detectives To Investigate Sick Employees | Firstpost America

Germany is tackling a controversial workplace issue—fake sick leave—by hiring private detectives to monitor employees. Rising absenteeism, fuelled by post-pandemic policies allowing phone-approved sick leave, has strained businesses and the economy. German workers averaged 15.1 sick days in 2023, cutting the GDP by 0.8%. Companies like Lentz Group handle over 1,200 cases annually, uncovering employees working elsewhere or renovating homes while on leave. Critics argue this approach erodes trust and overlooks genuine health challenges like mental stress and rising illnesses. Supporters see it as necessary to curb abuse and save costs. This ethical debate sparks global conversations about trust, surveillance, and workplace dynamics.
