For workplace disputes, build a clean timeline

For workplace questions, a simple timeline can clarify the first legal review better than a scattered folder of documents.

Write the timeline before the argument

List what happened in order before trying to explain every legal theory. Include dates, roles, employer name, location, notices, and deadlines.

Separate facts from documents

Keep emails, letters, schedules, pay records, policies, and messages, but wait for instructions before sending sensitive files.

Preserve names and roles

Supervisors, HR contacts, coworkers, witnesses, and decision-makers can all matter. A clean list helps the firm understand the issue.
