Adding evidence

In the ‘Evidence’ section, you should store any documents relating to the events that triggered you making an employment claim. 

Documents in the ‘Evidence’ section also show up in your overall ‘Documents’ section, but it is useful to separate out the ‘Evidence’ documents, as you will need to disclose these as part of the Tribunal process.

Adding evidence

There are 2 ways to add evidence to the ‘Evidence’ page:

A) Categorise an existing document as Evidence: From ‘Documents’ in the main menu (in the ‘Organise’ section), select a document that you have already added, and change the category to ‘Evidence’.‍

B) Add a brand new document: From ‘Evidence’ in the main menu (in the ‘Your situation’ section), select ‘Add evidence’.

Method A - Categorising an existing document

1. Go to ‘Documents’ in the main menu (in the ‘Organise’ section).
2. Select the ‘Edit’ button next to a document that you have already added.
3. Go to the ‘Category’ dropdown and choose one of the categories that relate to ‘Evidence’.
4. Select ‘Save’.
5. Your document should now appear under ‘Evidence’.
