  • Internal rules and HR policies
  • Pay, time and leave records
  • Appraisal, warning and termination documents
  • Correspondence and discrimination or loss evidence

Authorities, translation and representation

  • Unequal treatment or discrimination
  • Defective grounds or procedure for termination
  • Loss of evidence or claim deadline
