Capture the workplace history
Preconfigured and custom fields record the employer, employee, role, dates, pay, termination, union involvement, allegations, and upcoming agency or court events, so nothing is re-entered.
Employment and labor law
Carry the workplace issue from first advice through final resolution
Employment and labor law software should follow the issue wherever it goes. With Clio’s legal AI platform, people, policies, evidence, cited law, deadlines, and decisions stay connected as advice becomes an investigation, grievance, agency matter, or case.
Manage employment and labor matters from first concern to resolution
Hold privileged investigation material
Sensitive matters stay restricted to authorized users, interview notes and source documents stay with the investigation, and those permissions carry into secure client communication.
Research with cited authority
Review policies and agreements, compare versions, research the governing law, and prepare advice, responses, severance documents, or litigation materials for your review.
Track deadlines and billing together
Tasks, calendars, reminders, matter stages, time, bills, and payments sit with the issue, with rules-driven calendaring across hundreds of US courts.
Build a defensible record as advice becomes a formal matter
Intake forms capture the employer, the employee, the role, the pay, the agreements, and the prior steps, and run conflict checks before the engagement. You decide the response with the whole history on the matter, whether the issue stays internal or reaches an agency or court.
- Keep every party straight. Track the employer, the claimant, counsel, witnesses, and union representatives in contact management.
- Flag union involvement. Custom fields note whether a collective bargaining agreement applies.
- Represent either side. Set up each matter for an employer-side investigation or an employee-side charge.
Hold the investigation in one place
Workplace facts can sit across HR files, email, managers, and union representatives. Interview notes, policies, agreements, and source documents live in the matter, restricted to the people who should see them. Share updates and documents through the client portal, where the matter’s permissions still apply.
- Choose who sees it. Custom roles and matter-level permissions limit an investigation to selected users or groups.
- Line up the witnesses. Schedule each interview on the calendar and assign follow-up as tasks.
- Tie accounts to evidence. Witness notes stay beside the documents they reference.
Research, draft, and resolve on the same record
Clio’s legal research covers federal law and all 50 states, updated daily. Get answers on discrimination, accommodation, wage, benefits, and procedure, each linked to its source so you can verify it. Drafting prepares an advice memo, response, agreement, submission, or client letter from the matter, for your review.
- Compare jurisdictions. Where a rule differs between states, view the versions side by side.
- Check agency rulings. EEOC, NLRB, and MSPB decisions are indexed alongside the statutes.
- Draft separation terms. Start a severance agreement from the matter’s facts and finish it in your own words.
Read a charge or pleading against the record
Save a discrimination charge or a wage and hour pleading to the matter as it arrives. Clio’s legal AI can extract the claims, protected classes, and facts and prepare potential responses, which your firm reviews. You decide which defenses to raise, with cited authority behind each one.
- Work through the deposition. Clio’s legal AI can condense a long transcript and flag inconsistencies against the documents on the matter.
- Head into arbitration prepared. A grievance under a collective bargaining agreement keeps its full history on the matter.
- Bring in NLRB work. An unfair labor practice charge stays with the advice and documents that came before it.
Track every deadline, bill, and trust balance
Rules-driven calendaring reaches hundreds of US courts, and custom dates and tasks track the statutory filing deadlines that apply in your jurisdiction. Record time as the work happens, run billing, and manage client funds in a compliant trust account.
- Submit in three states. E-filing and e-service cover supported courts in California, Georgia, and Texas.
- Watch for new filings. Docket monitoring sends alerts and saves court documents to the matter.
- Know the next step. Matter stages mark where each issue sits and what the procedure requires.

Employment and labor law software FAQs
What is employment and labor law software?
Employment and labor law software keeps the people, policies, evidence, cited law, deadlines, and decisions for a workplace matter in one connected record, so the work holds together as advice becomes an investigation, grievance, agency matter, or case. Get a demo.
How is Clio different from standalone employment law software?
Clio was built so the workplace record and the work around it draw on one shared foundation. Parties and roles, policies and agreements, investigation material, cited research, document automation, deadlines, communication, billing, payments, and trust accounting all sit together. That shared context lets Clio prepare work for professional review and return the approved work to the matter, so early advice still holds when the issue reaches a formal forum. Get a demo.
Does it work for employer-side and employee-side firms?
Yes. Clio can be configured around the parties, documents, permissions, workflow, deadlines, and fee model each side requires, whether it is an employer-side investigation, an employee-side charge, or a grievance and arbitration under a collective bargaining agreement. Get a demo.
Can Clio file with the court?
E-filing and e-service to supported courts are currently available in California, Texas, and Georgia. There is no federal e-filing, so federal court filings are made outside Clio. Your firm reviews every filing package before it goes out. Get a demo.
Can Clio protect confidential investigation material?
Yes. Custom roles and matter-level permissions can restrict a matter to selected users or groups, so interview notes and source documents stay with the people authorized to work on the investigation. Your firm remains responsible for configuring access, privilege, confidentiality, retention, and ethical obligations. Get a demo.
Can Clio track agency, tribunal, and court deadlines?
Yes. Your firm can use custom tasks, calendars, reminders, and matter stages to track agency and tribunal deadlines in your jurisdiction. Court Rules calculates court deadlines across hundreds of US courts, and Clio Docket monitors dockets, sends filing alerts, and saves court documents to the matter. Get a demo.
Does Clio include employment law legal research?
Yes. Clio’s legal AI researches Title VII, the FLSA, the ADA, the FMLA, and the NLRA, alongside state wage and hour regulations, independent contractor classification rules, and state civil rights law, across federal law and all 50 states. EEOC, NLRB, and MSPB decisions are indexed. Where a rule differs between states, you can compare them side by side. It returns cited authority for you to evaluate and apply. Get a demo.
Can Clio analyze an employment complaint or a deposition transcript?
Yes. Upload a discrimination charge or a wage and hour pleading and Clio’s legal AI can extract the claims, protected classes, and facts, and prepare potential defenses for your review. It can also summarize a long deposition transcript and flag inconsistencies against the documents already on the matter. Your firm reviews every finding before it is relied on. Get a demo.
