Note the specific date, amount or condition that applies to you, then keep the evidence that supports it.

• Match the written contract or policy against the dates, hours and pay records relevant to this issue.
• Keep the request, approval or employer response in a dated message rather than relying on a verbal conversation.
• If a figure or condition differs, ask the responsible HR contact to explain the exact item in writing.

Common mistakes to avoid

• Relying on a verbal promise when the contract or HR record says something different.
• Waiting until the end of employment to question a payslip or leave-balance discrepancy.
• Sending an undated request without keeping the employer's acknowledgement.
