“Not published” preserves unavailable or suppressed source cells. “Above reporting limit” preserves a top-coded source value without inventing a number. A missing state estimate does not establish service eligibility. The data describe wage and salary employment; they do not measure self-employment income.

Follow a request through its stages
Describe when a requisition reached you, what information you were asked to check, and when you routed the order or invoice onward. If a delay is part of the concern, distinguish a missing approval from work waiting in your own queue.
Record temporary buying responsibilities
Note periods when you performed buying duties in addition to routine order processing. Describe the instruction, the extent of your authority, and who approved the final purchase. A job title alone does not explain how your responsibilities changed.
Use a limited record of purchasing work
Keep your personal pay statements and assignment notices that you may retain. In a chronology, identify the type of order and relevant dates without attaching supplier bank details, internal pricing agreements, or full purchasing exports. Identify the system holding the original instead.
Choose your next step
Review the workplace retaliation guide, unpaid wages guide, or discrimination guide if those concerns fit your experience. A job title alone does not establish a claim.
