Intake Questions to Ask
Ask what right the worker exercised, when the employer learned about it, what changed afterward, whether the worker is still employed, and whether any agency or internal deadline is pending.
Evidence to Request
Request HR complaints, leave requests, accommodation paperwork, policy documents, schedules, discipline, investigation notices, pay records, and communications with management.
Blog-Specific Signals
Key employee-facing signals to translate into intake review: Federal wage laws cover work already performed, and the Department of Labor enforces them without regard to immigration status; Title VII and the other federal anti-discrimination laws protect workers from harassment and discrimination regardless of status; Threatening to report a worker to immigration authorities because the worker complained about pay or conditions can be unlawful retaliation. Confirm which of these facts are supported by documents and which still need witness or agency corroboration.
Routing Notes
Route based on the underlying right involved: FMLA, ADA, retaliation, whistleblower, OSHA, employee classification, or state-law protection. Use this resource for employment-claims intake, litigation screening, agency-preservation analysis, and dispute evaluation.
