Tell us what's going on.
Two ways to start. Pick whichever feels easier right now — you can always come back and add detail later.
- What kind of job, where you work, how long you've been there
- What you did or said that you think started the problem
- What's been done to you and roughly when
- If your hours or pay dropped — what they were before, and what they are now, with rough dates
- What you've kept (paystubs, emails, screenshots, write-ups, your onboarding papers)
- If a complaint you made in confidence got shown around or brought up by coworkers
- Whether you've already filed anything (EEOC / OSHA / NLRB / state agency) — and any replies they've sent you
Two things to skip: passwords and financial-account numbers. Otherwise, the more detail the better. How we protect your data →
What to prepare
You don't need anything to begin — you can start with just your memory and come back to add detail and documents later. But if you have any of these handy, they make your case stronger and your timeline more precise:
- Pay stubs — especially any that show an hours or pay change, with dates.
- Emails and messages — to and from HR, your supervisor, or coworkers about what happened.
- Write-ups and performance documents — including anything that appeared suddenly or doesn't match earlier records.
- Your onboarding paperwork — original offer letter, handbook acknowledgments, training records.
- Screenshots and photos — texts, schedules, physical conditions, anything you documented at the time.
One rule: skip passwords, financial-account numbers, and Social Security numbers. Almost everything else helps. If you want to understand the underlying protections first, the EEOC explains workplace retaliation in plain language.
What happens with your information
When you submit, Receipts.law reads what you wrote and extracts a structured set of facts — employer, supervisors, dates, and the adverse actions you describe. It matches that fact pattern against the legal doctrines and federal precedents courts have actually applied in retaliation cases, then assembles an attorney-prep case summary you can share with a lawyer.
Where it's stored
Your case lives in a private, non-guessable case folder and is encrypted at rest using Fernet. No account is required to start; your case URL is the access key, so keep it private. You can optionally create an account later to save your case across devices.
Our privacy stance
We do not sell your data, and we never use your case content to train AI models. The only third parties that see your content are the AI providers required to generate the analysis you request. The full details — encryption, retention, and your CCPA / GDPR rights — are in our Privacy Policy.
What this is (and isn't)
Receipts.law organizes your facts and describes the doctrines courts have applied. It is not a law firm, it does not provide legal advice, and it will never predict whether you have a viable claim or what it's worth — that judgment belongs to a licensed attorney in your state.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to have everything ready before I start?
No. Start with what you remember. You can edit any field and add documents to your case at any time after it's created.
Is any of this legal advice?
No. We describe general legal doctrine and organize your evidence; an attorney applies the law to your specific facts. Using Receipts.law does not create an attorney-client relationship.
What does it cost?
The intake, analysis, and deliverables are free during private beta, with no account and no payment method required.
How long does it take?
The free-form option takes about 3 minutes; the guided 8-section form is more thorough and takes about 15 minutes.
