What’s the important of documentation in the workplace? Documentation is critical.
If you believe that you’re experiencing something illegal or something that violates company policies as a law.
It’s very important not only to speak out about it, to talk to your manager, talk to your supervisor about it, but to also to keep some documented history of it occurring.
Documents in the workplace end up being critical evidence in employment cases.
For example,
If someone is written up in an unfair way and those write ups are retaliatory, looking at the actual substance of what’s written up and what’s documented by the employee is critical evidence in establishing what happened in real time.
So every employee has the right to their employment documents.
Every employee should be aware of what’s documented in their employment file, and every employee should keep good records and communicate in writing with their employer when it’s important, particularly if you are complaining about a violation of the law.
