Describe how services were assigned
Record who set appointments, prices, product expectations and access to equipment. Note a changed instruction or request for clarification. Distinguish a service recommendation you made from a business rule you were required to follow without retaining another worker’s agreement or client records.
Connect duties and compensation
Identify the pay terms and statement period involved in your question. Note cancellations, adjustments and required cleaning or preparation work. Do not treat a retail product price or customer charge as personal earnings; keep the specific entry and explanation you received together.
Protect client and practice information
Do not copy client photographs, treatment histories, health questionnaires, appointment lists or payment details. Describe the general event and identify relevant records by custodian. Retain your own permitted employment messages without attempting to diagnose a client reaction or reproduce a service to gather evidence.
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.
