Save pay stubs, attendance records, employment contracts, social insurance documents, and chat logs before leaving your job
离职前把工资条、考勤、劳动合同、社保记录和聊天记录先存下来
No expense required. It takes about half an hour to save all these documents. The tricky part is remembering to do it before you leave.
Once you return your computer and work account, you won’t be able to access any of your pay stubs, attendance records, contracts, social insurance documents, or chat logs again. When filing for labor arbitration, you’ll still need these materials to prove your wage amount and whether you worked overtime. What you save are documents related to your own employment; do not take any company source code, client lists, or technical documents with you.

The excuse
There is no immediate alarm, so the sensible choice can wait for a less busy week.
What feels good now
Today I keep a few minutes, a bit of persistence and avoid interrupting my default routine.

Original recommendation and evidence
8. Save pay stubs, attendance records, employment contracts, social insurance documents, and chat logs before leaving your job
Cost: No expense required. It takes about half an hour to save all these documents. The tricky part is remembering to do it before you leave.
In plain terms: Once you return your computer and work account, you won’t be able to access any of your pay stubs, attendance records, contracts, social insurance documents, or chat logs again. When filing for labor arbitration, you’ll still need these materials to prove your wage amount and whether you worked overtime. What you save are documents related to your own employment; do not take any company source code, client lists, or technical documents with you.
Benefit: After returning your computer and account, you lose access to all these records. While arbitration proceedings may lean slightly in favor of the employer, you still need your own evidence to prove your wage level and overtime hours.
Evidence grade: C
Sources: Author’s experience, no direct literature; see Section 7 for rights protection path
Notes: Only documents related to your own employment should be saved. Do not take any company source code, client lists, or technical documentation with you; those are separate matters, as explained in Section 11.

8. 离职前把工资条、考勤、劳动合同、社保记录和聊天记录先存下来
成本: 不花钱。花半小时把材料存好。难在走之前要记得存。
说人话: 电脑和账号一交回去，工资条、考勤、合同、社保记录和聊天记录就再也拿不到了。仲裁时工资多少、有没有加班，还是要靠你自己手上的材料。存的是自己的劳动关系材料，公司的源码和客户名单不要带走。
收益: 一旦交回电脑和账号，这些材料就再也拿不到了。仲裁时谁来举证，虽然会朝单位那边偏一些，但工资多少、有没有加班这些事，还是要靠你自己手上的证据
证据等级: C
来源: 作者经验，无直接文献；维权路径见第 7 节
备注: 存的是自己的劳动关系材料。不要顺手带走公司的源码、客户名单和技术文档，带走的风险见第 11 节。走的时候还要找单位要离职证明，见本节第 17 条（离职证明）
