Before leaving, save your payslips, attendance, contract, social-insurance records and relevant messages
Grade C evidenceValue: High
In plain language
Once devices and accounts are handed back, employment records may be inaccessible. Even where evidentiary duties favor the employee, your own proof of wages and overtime matters. Save your employment evidence, not company source code or client lists.
MoneyNo cost
TimeQuick and easy
EffortSome effort
What it takes
Free; around half an hour. Remember before surrendering access.
What you may gain
Handing back the account and computer can end access. Arbitration may place some proof obligations on the employer, but your records remain important for wage levels, overtime and related facts.
Context & considerations
Preserve your own employment-related materials. Do not take company code, customer lists or technical documents; see Chapter 11 for the risks.
Research & references
