Official starting points

Built beside public Canadian resources.

SteadyFile stays focused on your private record. When you need current rules, complaints, safety, human rights, or legal information, the product points you back to official public sources.

Open employment resources

Early proof

Built around what workers actually try to save.

record types repeated

Messages, reviews, pay, HR docs, and more

A small early survey pointed to the same pattern: stressful workplace situations, missing context, and records scattered across messages, emails, screenshots, reviews, pay records, and HR documents.

This is directional product research, not a statistical market claim or legal conclusion.

Use this when

Built for the moment before a serious workplace conversation.

SteadyFile is for private preparation when you need a clearer record, not for public accusations or automated complaints.

Before an HR or investigation meeting

Turn dates, people, messages, and follow-up questions into a neutral packet you can review first.

Before speaking with a union rep or advisor

Separate what happened, what records support it, and what still needs confirming.

Before an employment-law consult

Bring a clean timeline and record index instead of scattered screenshots and memory.

When access to work systems may change

Reference important records while originals remain in storage you control.

Who this is for

For the workplace moments where the details start to matter.

Use SteadyFile when the details are scattered and you need a calm way to explain what happened.

  • Performance management, warnings, or PIPs
  • Pay, bonus, commission, or severance concerns
  • Accommodation-related records
  • Harassment, bullying, or unfair treatment concerns
  • Discrimination or retaliation concerns
  • Workplace investigations or HR meetings
  • Termination risk, resignation pressure, or layoff concerns
  • Major role, schedule, pay, or work-condition changes
  • Pressure or confusion where you need a clearer timeline

Not for

SteadyFile is not an employer portal, legal advisor, or complaint engine.

The product stays narrow so the record stays useful and calm.

  • Employer investigations or manager dashboards
  • Legal advice, case scoring, or settlement estimates
  • Emergency situations or urgent safety response
  • Anonymous accusations or public callouts
  • Secret recording guidance
  • Revenge documentation or hostile workflows
  • Demand letters or complaint automation
  • Lawyer matching, referrals, or paid legal intake

How it works

Build the packet before you share the story.

1

Start a private file

Choose the workplace context, province or jurisdiction, and issue categories without creating an account.

2

Add dated events

Capture what happened, who was involved, where it happened, and what still needs checking.

3

Reference records

List emails, screenshots, messages, pay records, reviews, or policies by name without uploading originals.

4

Preview and export

Review the file summary, timeline, people, record index, gaps, and reviewer questions before sharing.

Comparison

Why not just use notes, folders, or HR forms?

Because workplace records are only useful when they are organized enough for someone else to understand.

Notes and folders can start quickly, but context often disappears. SteadyFile keeps dates, people, record references, gaps, and reviewer questions together.

Boundaries

Built for organization, not legal conclusions.

SteadyFile does not tell you whether you have a case, what your claim is worth, or what action to take. It helps you organize the facts: dates, people, events, records, and gaps, so you can review them more clearly or share them with someone qualified.

  • Browser-only workspace for the private file
  • No account required to start
  • No original evidence uploaded
  • No legal advice or case scoring
  • No employer reporting workflow
  • Canadian-first review-packet structure

Plain-language privacy boundary

SteadyFile does not create an employer portal, does not contact your workplace, and does not include an employer reporting workflow. In this validation version, the private draft starts in your browser; original evidence files are referenced by name and metadata, not uploaded by default.

No employer dashboard
No workplace contact
No original-file upload by default
Export stays user-directed

Research

Help shape the product before accounts or paid exports exist.

We are validating whether a private workplace file and packet builder should become a larger Canadian product.

The survey is anonymous by default. Please do not include employer names, coworker names, medical details, or anything that could identify you.
