Abstract
A system and method are disclosed to resolve, protect against and/or defend an employer liability claim. Input notes are received as formatted text and are stored in a database, wherein the stored text, after submission, are editable for a pre-determined time period and, after expiration of the pre-determined time period, the submission being non-editable and being locked in the database for historical archival. The locked notes are output as part of a judicial proceeding associated with the employer liability claim initiated by said employee, wherein the employer liability claim is resolved, protected against and/or defended based on the locked notes.
Claims28
An article of manufacture having computer readable storage medium having instructions executable by a processor to implement a method of resolving, protecting against and/or defending an employer liability claim, said method implemented by a processor comprising:
- executing instructions to receive notes input as formatted text;
- executing instructions to store said input notes in a database, said stored text, after said submission, are editable for a pre-determined time period and, after expiration of said pre-determined time period, said submission is non-editable and is locked in said database for historical archival;
- executing instructions to output said locked notes as part of a judicial proceeding associated with said employer liability claim initiated by said employee;
- executing instructions to resolve, protect against and/or defend said employer liability claim based on said locked notes.
An article of manufacture having computer readable storage medium having instructions executable by a processor to implement a method of resolving, protecting against and/or defending an employer liability claim, said method implemented by a processor comprising:
- executing instructions to receive a first note input as formatted text, said first note comprising supervisory comments regarding a first disciplinary action associated with an employee;
- executing instructions to store said first notes regarding said first disciplinary action in a database, said stored text, after said submission, are editable for a pre-determined time period and, after expiration of said pre-determined time period, said submission is non-editable and is locked in said database for historical archival;
- executing instructions to receive at least a second note input as formatted text, said second note comprising supervisory comments regarding a second progressive disciplinary action associated with said employee;
- executing instructions to store said second notes regarding said second progressive disciplinary action in said database, said stored text, after said submission, are editable for a pre-determined time period and, after expiration of said pre-determined time period, said submission is non-editable and is locked in said database for historical archival;
- executing instructions to output said first and second note as part of a judicial proceeding associated with said employer liability claim initiated by said employee;
- executing instructions to resolve, protect against and/or defend said employer liability claim based on said locked notes.
An article of manufacture having computer readable storage medium having instructions executable by a processor to implement a method of resolving, protecting against and/or defending an employer liability claim, said method implemented by a processor comprising:
- executing instructions to receive notes input as formatted text;
- executing instructions to store said input notes in a database, said stored text, after said submission, are editable for a pre-determined time period and, after expiration of said pre-determined time period, said submission is non-editable and is locked in said database for historical archival;
- executing instructions to implement one or more filters, each of said filters categorizing said stored notes based on a set of categories;
- executing instructions to receive inputs identifying at least one filter;
- executing instructions to filter said stored notes based on said identified at least one filter;
- executing instructions to output categorized locked notes corresponding to said identified filters as part of a judicial proceeding associated with said employer liability claim initiated by said employee;
- and
- executing instructions to resolve, protect against and/or defend said employer liability claim based on said locked notes.
A computer based system to resolve, protect against and/or defend an employer liability claim, wherein the system comprises:
- (a) a processor;

- executing instructions to store said first notes regarding said first disciplinary action in a database, said stored text, after said submission, are editable for a pre-determined time period and, after expiration of said pre-determined time period, said submission is non-editable and is locked in said database for historical archival;
- executing instructions to receive at least a second note input as formatted text, said second note comprising supervisory comments regarding a second progressive disciplinary action associated with said employee;
- executing instructions to store said second notes regarding said second progressive disciplinary action in said database, said stored text, after said submission, are editable for a pre-determined time period and, after expiration of said pre-determined time period, said submission is non-editable and is locked in said database for historical archival;
- executing instructions to output said first and second note as part of a judicial proceeding associated with said employer liability claim initiated by said employee;
- executing instructions to resolve, protect against and/or defend said employer liability claim based on said locked notes.
