Employment law: understanding your next step.
Workplace claims have different legal requirements and deadlines from accident claims. An administrative filing may be required before a lawsuit. Keep relevant records that you are lawfully entitled to possess and ask a lawyer which steps apply to your circumstances.
Situations we can review
- Workplace discrimination and harassment
- Retaliation after raising a concern
- Unpaid wages and wage-related disputes
- Questions about a termination

Common questions
Should I keep a record of what happened at work?
A factual timeline and copies of records you are lawfully allowed to keep can help explain your concern. Do not access restricted systems or take documents you are not entitled to possess.
What information should I keep for a review?
Helpful records include: pay statements, schedules, and time records; relevant emails, messages, and written policies; a dated timeline of workplace events; complaints and responses you have received. Keep what you already have and ask the firm what else may be useful.
Do I need every document before contacting the firm?
No. Start with a brief account of what happened, when and where it happened, and the records you already have. You can explain which documents are still missing.
What should I explain in my first conversation?
Describe the events in order, the people or organisations involved, and how the situation has affected you. Bring your questions and mention any letters or documents you have received.
