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.
