Send Electronic Signature Previous Employment Verification Letter For Free

An employment verification letter generally includes your employer's address, the name, and address of the organization requesting the document, your name, your employment dates, your job title and salary . The document may also include your date of birth and social security number for identification purposes.

You should first determine the person or department in charge of handling employment document requests. If you have a human resources (HR) department, you'll most likely send your request to an HR representative. Smaller companies may require your employer, direct supervisor or payroll manager to send the letter.

An employment verification letter is used to prove that someone is currently or was previously employed at a company. These letters are often used to verify employment for lenders, or when someone needs to prove their residency, a specific skill, or that they've worked for a specific employer.

If you can't provide a Form W-2 as financial evidence because you're a business owner or an independent contractor, USCIS will still require an employment verification letter. You, however, must draft and sign the letter yourself.

It will include the following information: Employer current address. Address and name of the company requesting verification. Employee name. Employment dates. Employee job title. Employee job description. Employee current salary. Reason for termination.

The good news is that employment verification letters are usually fairly simple documents, and easy to write or obtain. If you need to request or write a letter, reviewing templates and examples can help you get started.

Dear [Past Employer's Name], This email is regarding a reference check conducted for the candidate, [Candidate Name] who has applied for the position of [Job Title] at our company. You have been listed as a point of contact for reference checks for her past work experience and performance.

Some hiring managers do it themselves, reaching out directly (typically via phone) to your current or previous employers to request official verification. Alternatively, employers may use professional background screening firms and/or an employment verification service such as The Work Number® from Equifax.
