Provide relevant service agreements and accurate explanations of reporting, supervision and responsibilities.
Compare the documents with actual practice
Do not rely on a clause that conflicts with how the assignment will operate. Identify the real parties and the employee’s duties.
Identify authentic records and a permitted explanation of the relevant process and individual contribution, with appropriate handling agreed for sensitive material. Consider relevant redacted examples with enough context to explain the internal distinction and the employee’s contribution. A reviewer needs to understand the relevant process and the employee's real experience with it, not an unexplained bundle of sensitive files. Gather the actual technical materials, document controls, training records, product history, organization charts and assignment plan. Create an evidence inventory with three categories: contemporaneous material that remains, later explanations by people with relevant knowledge, and facts that cannot presently be confirmed. Descriptions written for the purpose often work better than raw internal documents, provided they are accurate and someone with direct knowledge can attest to them.
