Overview: Monitoring Employee Activity for Time Misrepresentation
In April 2025, Privin Network was engaged by a corporate client to conduct a discreet surveillance operation targeting a specific employee suspected of engaging in behavior inconsistent with their reported work duties. The objective was to determine whether the employee was misrepresenting their time on the clock, violating company policies, or engaging in high-risk activity during designated work hours.
The operation followed a two-day surveillance window across New Jersey and Pennsylvania, including multiple site visits and off-hour activity centered around the Parx Casino in Bensalem, PA.
Surveillance Scope and Execution
Our team conducted the investigation in full alignment with the client’s scope of work, which included:
- Monitoring the employee’s conduct during reported work hours
- Documenting time spent at unauthorized or unexplained locations
- Capturing timestamped video and stills to confirm schedule inconsistencies
Day 1 Highlights (April 2):
- Surveillance began at 5:45 AM at the subject’s residence in Deptford, NJ
- Subject was followed to a non-work-related residential location, then into Pennsylvania via the Ben Franklin Bridge
- Subject spent hours inside Parx Casino, including engagement in table games and a verbal altercation confirmed by casino security
Surveillance Continued
Day 2 Highlights (April 4):
- Subject departed NJ again around 9:00 AM, returning to the same casino
- Spent several hours in gambling activity, this time without incident
- Returned to the residence by early afternoon
Key Findings
