A verbal complaint can be denied or forgotten. A written complaint with a timestamp cannot be undone. It creates a legal record, triggers your employer's formal obligation to investigate, and starts the clock on their liability.
In virtually every jurisdiction WORKWARS covers, it is illegal for your employer to retaliate against you for making a good-faith complaint. Document any retaliatory behaviour immediately — it becomes a separate legal claim.
Use only your personal email — never your work email
Everything from your work email can be accessed by your employer. Your personal email creates an independent protected record that remains yours regardless of what happens with your job.
Send to the right recipients
For harassment: HR in writing + manager's manager. For wage violations: HR + your state/provincial labour authority. For safety: HR + OSHA/relevant safety authority. WORKWARS identifies the right recipient for your jurisdiction.
Generate a formal demand letter with legal fingerprint
The WORKWARS letter includes a digital fingerprint — exact timestamp, timezone, device — proving when and where it was created. This contemporaneous record is court-admissible documentation.
File with the relevant authority if no response
If your employer fails to act within 10 business days, escalate to your regional labour authority. WORKWARS generates the escalation letter.
