There are many concerns that fall under the umbrella of dishonest behavior that a mobile phone tracking device can solve:

Is Cell Phone Surveillance Legal?
The short answer is yes, but here is the thing you must keep in mind. The cell phone under surveillance must be owned by you or the business. If it is then you can easily install the software and spy legally.
How Do You Track The Cell Phone Exactly?
Cell phone spy software has become high tech yet is incredibly user friendly and that goes for installation as well. You will need to have the phone in your possession for about two or three minutes and in that short period of time you will be able to install the software and it will be undetectable. This can be installed on any Smart Phone and you do not need to be proficient in technology at all.
Once the software is installed the phone is now a 24/7 tracking device. You can receive SMS messages (text messages) alerting you to any conversations or text messaging that is going on and the GPS feature tells you where the phone is. This information can be read word for word, even listened to in real time from any computer that has Internet service.
Will Your Employee Know The Cell Phone Is Under Surveillance?
No, your employee will have no alert, beep, muffled sound, etc to tip them off that the phone has the software installed. It is virtually undetectable.
If you suspect something is not right then it probably is not right - plain and simple. This is your business and this is too important to let someone mess with
