So you think you have an employment case....

     So you think you have an employment claim against your employer?  Here are a few things that can help build your case.

Take Notes.  Take notes and keep a journal describing your employment claim in detail.  If discriminatory comments were made towards you, make sure you write down the comment along with the name of the offender and the day.  Just make sure to do this after work and on your own time - not company time.

Contact HR/Ethics Hotline.  Most employees are afraid to contact Human Resources or their company's ethics hotline in fear of retaliation.  While retaliation may be the reality for some employees, it's not the case for most.  Also, if you don't give your employer the opportunity to know about the work situation, they won't be able to fix it.  You can bet that if you don't make them aware of the problem, they'll use this as a defense down the road.  So, scary as it may be, let Human Resources in on the problem.

Be Honest.  Be honest about the situation at work.  Don't over embellish, or state things that didn't really happen.  This doesn't do anybody any good.

Hire An Attorney.  If you've made your company aware of the problems at work, but they refuse or fail to remedy the problem, it may be time to contact an attorney.  Make sure to hire an attorney who handles your type of case.  And follow the above rule - be honest.
