Documentation, Documentation, Documentation!
Keeping employment documentation of what was said, even when witnesses were present, contemporaneously with the event, is the most reliable method to evidence and a good employment practice.
Almost all employment disputes arise when the relationship goes sour so what does not seem important at the time may be the source of a multimillion dollar lawsuit instituted years later.
No matter how busy you are, the few minutes it takes to document an event could be the exhibit that a jury will rely upon in exonerating you and your employer!
