Most employers already have a template for letters of employment, but generally they need to include the following:

• Employee’s full name

• Job title

• Employment status (full‑time/part‑time/permanent/contract)

• Start date (and end date if contract)

• Base income: annual salary or hourly rate + average weekly hours

• Statement that employment is active and in good standing

• On company letterhead which should include the company name, address, and phone number

• Name, title, and signature of the person issuing the letter, as well as a contact phone number as lenders will also call to confirm the details.
