It is detailed evidence that help win cases. Most unfair dismissal cases are won because the employer failed to follow the dismissal procedure correctly. By taking a note of everything thast happened, as soon as possible, it makes it easier for your employment law consultant to assess the strenghts and weaknesses of your case.

Keep the documents
