Record missed time
Note dates, hours, and the reason for missed work. Keep relevant employer correspondence and pay records. Self-employed people may also need invoices, contracts, and business records.
Separate paid from outstanding costs
Save bills and proof of payment. Identify who paid each expense so that the same amount is not counted twice.
Use a running tracker
Add expenses as they occur and export your records regularly. The tracker totals the amounts you enter; it does not estimate a settlement or decide which expenses are recoverable.
