OOPNP Application : Question on Work Experience: Letter of reference

[vinodram]

Hi All,

My Current Employment reference letter is 1 year old. Currently my employee is not providing the new one. In this case can I use the same old one and provide the Pay stubs till current date?

cheers

Please advice, its Mandatory for Employee reference letter needs to be with current Date or can we submit with older date and attach other supporting documents?

It need not be current but I believe it can be upto few months old. It is preferable to have the letter issued in the last 3 months but there is no time limit on how old it can be. If it is few months old, then you can also attach other supporting docs like pay stubs to prove that you are still with the same company and role.

I would suggest you to get a revised letter if its a possiblity. If you are unable to get, then you do not have a choice, go with the additional supporting docs option.

I am facing the same issue. My old employer gave me an old reference letter stating the occupation and the duration of the employment period, However he did not mention salary , working hours , etc ? will this be an issue ?

Salary can alternatively substituted by Pay stubs, if you separately have them. It is good to have hours/week or the description full time but I don't believe it is mandatory. Some companies have their employees log their time on a periodic basis. At later stages if they call to verify, you can substitute these by providing screen-prints of your time entry system or you can attach few of them up-front.
