It depends. If it is using a company-owned phone, then all the employer would have to do is phone up the telecoms provider and ask them for transcripts of calls made. If it is with his mobile, you cannot request information about transcripts legally due to the Data Protection Act. If you believe he is partaking in illegal or questionable activities, contact the Police and they will be able to deal with the matter.

Can a husband cancel his wife's health insurance if not legally separated?
If not legally separated, you will probably have to wait until open enrollment through your employer to cancel her insurance. If you do get legally separated, you can cancel insurance as you have had "change in status." Usually insurance companies will process changes outside of open enrollment when you have a change in family status. An example of this would be getting married, having a baby, or getting divorced/legally separated.

Can your daughter's employer refuse her brother a job because they are related?
In the limited case where the available job would be in a position reporting to your daughter, or to which your daughter reports, her employer can refuse to hire her brother because of potential conflicts of interest and management and employee relations difficulties. One member of a family reporting to another is considered nepotism and is generally to be avoided, except in family owned businesses.
