Start a timeline
Write dates, names, messages, policy references, pay records, warnings and termination details.
Identify the issue type
Unpaid wages, discrimination, harassment, retaliation, misclassification, contract disputes and severance have different options.
Compare agency, negotiation and lawyer routes
Some issues go through labor agencies; others may need demand letters, negotiation or a lawyer consultation.
Review before signing
Severance, releases, non-competes and contractor agreements should be reviewed before signing where stakes are high.
Act before deadlines pass
Employment claims can have strict time limits. Compare options early.
