Breach of Non-Compete Clauses
Naturally, every employee has the freedom to choose their employer—unless a post-contractual non-compete clause has been agreed. In such cases, the employee is prohibited from joining a competitor or establishing a business in the same industry for up to two years, preventing the misuse or disclosure of confidential information from the former employer. Not all employees comply with this restriction; some claim the agreed-upon compensation and immediately begin work for a competitor. In extreme cases, the activity for the competitor may even commence during the existing employment—either as an unauthorised second job outside regular working hours or under the cover of a fraudulent sick leave during official working time.
The corporate investigators at Kurtz Investigations Kiel and Schleswig-Holstein are experienced in identifying such cases. Through discreet observation, they provide legally admissible evidence of the suspected employee’s contractual violations: +49 431 3057 0053.
Not only love, but also money can blind: compensation for non-compete clauses, double salaries, severance payments, bonuses for taking a new position, or salary upgrades due to an employer change can tempt employees into breaching contractual obligations.
Competitive Advantages Through Disclosure of Confidential Information
Employees often move to a competitor not necessarily to harm their former employer, but because they are highly skilled in their field and can leverage the expertise acquired over many years. Competitors are naturally keen on these employees—primarily for their professional knowledge, but also for the insider information mentioned above, which can give them a competitive edge.
Beyond employee monitoring, it is crucial to observe competitor behaviour and developments. You may find that calculations, client data, and supplier terms have fallen into the hands of your competitor, leading to practices such as poaching clients, offering special advantages, or undercutting your product prices. In such cases, our qualified and experienced corporate investigators in Kiel and Schleswig-Holstein can investigate both suspect competitors and (former) employees in detail and provide legally admissible evidence.
