To Catch Worker Misconduct, Companies Hire Corporate Detectives

    "As businesses face more complex regulations and heightened
     scrutiny by prosecutors, companies are turning to investigative
     firms to help keep watch over their employees.  The idea behind
     the "corporate monitoring" business is to nip misconduct in the
     bud before law enforcement catches a whiff of it.  These
     corporate detectives-for-hire are seeing good business these
     days, and finding new ways to snoop."

Unfortunately appears to have become necessary in some cases.  Key is
disclosure to employees that this is going on, and not crossing the
line into monitoring of non-work, personal activities.
