Emails, messages and policies can all be evidence. What you need depends on your claim.
Evidence can be emails, messages, policies, pay records, medical notes and more. What you need depends on your claim.

Unpaid wages claims lean on pay and hours records. Discrimination often needs a chronology, plus comparators where relevant. Whistleblowing needs the disclosure trail. A list matched to your claim is more useful than collecting everything.
