Your Most Important Employment Documents

Employment litigation can be expensive and time consuming. Success or failure in defending your company can turn on either the law or the facts. You can't do too much to change the law that applies to any given case. But experience shows that employers can do a lot to shape the facts and to improve their position in employment litigation.

Obviously, "shaping the facts" doesn't mean changing anything that happened; it refers to making sure that the events that occurred can be articulated accurately and forcefully. Most of the time, this shaping of the facts depends on the documentation. And while the particular facts may be different from case to case, the same types of documents are at issue in almost every employment law case.
