Most people don’t lose because they were wrong.They lose because they can’t prove they were right.

What is Counterfile

Your personal employment record.

Counterfile helps you document what happens at work before you know you’ll need it. It is insurance, leverage and peace of mind for one of the most important areas of your life. Employers have always maintained personnel files on their employees and presented those records as the sole source of truth in employment matters. You now have receipts.

The Counterfile modules wheel: the CFile mark at the center surrounded by workplace-documentation modules.

Your Counterfile.

Your CFile. CFile it as it happens.

  • Your entire work life documented.
  • Every job. Every employer. Every documented event.
  • One searchable timeline that follows you, not your employer.

Your CFile Log.

An index that time built. Ready when HR has something to say.

  • One job, one log.
  • Everything you document at an employer lives in that job's log.
  • Change jobs, start a new log. The old one stays in your Counterfile until you archive the log.

Your CFile Entries.

Their version. And now yours.

  • One incident at a time.
  • What happened, when it happened, who was there, and what proves it.
  • Timestamped the moment you log it.

Your CFile Minifiles.

When it stops being a one-off, the receipts are ready.

  • For when something becomes a situation.
  • Related entries, gathered into one case file for a single matter at a single job.
  • It stays open until you say it's closed.

Entries build logs. Logs build your CFile. Minifiles pull the pieces of a matter, at one job, together. Your Counterfile is your documented truth, sitting across the table from your employer's HR file.

Security by design

Your evidence lives in your inbox.Not on our servers.

  1. Timestamped and logged

  2. Emailed to you with a cover sheet of your answers
