Using Wrk Receipts

What is Wrk Receipts?

Wrk Receipts is a documentation and support tool that helps you record workplace experiences, track patterns over time, and stay organized as you navigate your job. It’s designed to help you understand what’s happening at work and feel more supported, not to replace legal or HR professionals.

What is a “receipt”?

A receipt is a personal record of a workplace experience. It can include what happened, when it happened, who was involved, and any related documents or notes you want to save. Receipts help you keep information in one place and build consistent documentation over time.

Is Wrk Receipts free?

Yes. Wrk Receipts offers a free version that allows you to manually create receipts, log workplace experiences, and book support sessions.

What do I get with Wrk Receipts Premium?

Wrk Receipts Premium includes:

  • AI-assisted receipt creation
  • Signals that help you understand potential employment risk over time
  • Personalized learning suggestions based on what you log
  • Priority access to support professionals and educational resources

You can try Premium free for 7 days.

Who can use Wrk Receipts?

Wrk Receipts is for anyone navigating work, including employees, contractors, and people in career transitions. People use it to document challenges, track accomplishments, and stay organized throughout their employment journey.

Can Wrk Receipts help with positive experiences too?

Absolutely. Wrk Receipts isn’t only for problems. Many people use it to log accomplishments, feedback, milestones, and wins to support career growth and self-advocacy.

Do I have to upload documents?

No. Uploading documents is optional. You can create receipts using text only, and add files later if you choose.

Is my information private?

Yes. Wrk Receipts is built to help you securely store and organize your own records. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

Can Wrk Receipts tell me if I have a case?

No. Wrk Receipts does not determine whether you have a legal claim. It helps you document experiences, notice patterns, and understand general workplace concepts so you can make informed decisions about what to do next.

How is Wrk Receipts different from HR or a lawyer?

Wrk Receipts is independent. It doesn’t represent your employer and it doesn’t provide legal advice. It’s a personal tool designed to help you document, learn, and feel supported as you navigate work.

Before you book

What is a Discovery Call?

A Discovery Call is a 30-minute, one-on-one phone consultation with an independent HR Consultant. It’s a space to talk through what’s happening at work, get clarity on internal HR processes, and better understand your options, without pressure or legal risk.

How do I book an appointment?

You can schedule a Discovery Call or purchase additional support on our booking page. You can also book in the Wrk Receipts app.

What do I need to prepare for my Discovery Call?

Just complete the Intake Form when booking. You don’t need documents upfront, but if you have any, you can upload them through the Wrk Receipts app or our secure upload page at cagedbirdhr.com/docs.

What’s the difference between a Discovery Call and Extended Support?

The Discovery Call gives you clarity. Extended Support gives you strategy, like:

  • Reviewing your documentation
  • Drafting emails or meeting scripts
  • Planning exits or severance negotiations
  • HR meeting prep and emotional support
Why do I have to fill out a form?

To make the best use of your time, please fill out the form. It helps your consultant get familiar with your situation before the call.

What kinds of concerns do you help with?

We help with common workplace concerns like harassment, discrimination, hostile work environments, bullying, isolation, compensation requests, exit planning, severance, microaggressions, complaint writing, participating in an HR investigation, retaliation, and more.

Can I discuss a past incident with an employer?

Yes. As long as you still have access to relevant documentation or evidence, we can help you frame what happened and understand whether there’s still a path to accountability or closure.

Do I need to be in a certain state to receive support?

We support U.S.-based employees and U.S. employees working abroad on U.S. payroll. We do not currently support international employees outside the U.S. labor system.

Do I have to work in a certain industry to get support?

During & after the Discovery Call

How is the call conducted?

Calls are by phone, not Zoom. Your HR Consultant will call you at the scheduled time.

Will I receive advice or strategy during the Discovery Call?

No formal strategy is shared during the Discovery Call. However, we answer your questions, explain HR processes, and help you understand why something may or may not be happening.

What do I get out of a Discovery Call?

You’ll leave with:

  • Clarity on your situation
  • Insight into HR systems and internal dynamics
  • Language to better describe or document what’s happening
  • A sense of validation and next steps, without the pressure of full commitment
Why are the consultations recorded?

Some calls may be recorded internally for training and quality control. These are never shared externally and are stored securely.

What happens after the Discovery Call?

You’ll get a text and email with recommended next steps and support options if applicable. We’ll also invite you to leave feedback.

When do I pay for a Discovery Call or Support Package?

Can I switch packages or add more support later?

Yes. You can purchase a new package at any time. Returning clients receive a 20% off coupon for seamless continuation of care. If it has been more than 30 days since your last Discovery Call, we recommend booking another one before purchasing a support package.

Free & low-cost resources

I can’t afford a Discovery Call. What resources are available to me?

We believe support should be accessible. Here are free ways to get help:

  • Our Support Library (free and always growing)
  • Monthly webinars on topics like documentation, navigating HR, and understanding your rights
  • Free sessions offered through our nonprofit partners to members of their communities

Philosophy & policy

Is this confidential?

Yes. Everything you share is treated with discretion. We never share client information without permission.

Is this a sales call?

No. The Discovery Call is a clarity session, not a pitch. We’ll walk you through your options only if support makes sense for your situation.

How is this different from advice from friends or social media?

Friends and internet advice can’t replace trained, independent HR guidance. We understand power, process, and documentation in ways that help you protect yourself, not just vent.

Do you attend meetings with HR with me?

This service is available only to clients actively enrolled in a three-month Extended Support Package, and only if your employer allows you to have a representative present. During these meetings, we will not speak on your behalf, but we will:

  • Ask for breaks to consult with you
  • Thoroughly prepare you for the types of questions that may arise
  • Help you document and reflect on what was said afterward

If this is something you believe you’ll need, your Consultant can walk you through what that support looks like and whether it’s a good fit during your Discovery Call.

Can you provide me with mental health support?

While many of our Consultants have experienced workplace trauma themselves and can empathize deeply, Caged Bird HR is not a mental health service. You may find emotional relief in simply being heard and validated, but we are not licensed therapists.

We strongly encourage all clients to seek support from a licensed mental health professional alongside our services if you are experiencing ongoing distress, anxiety, or trauma symptoms.

Still have a question?

Reach out and a real person will get back to you, or book a Discovery Call to talk it through.
