Reference Letter - Annual Salary

[iBanshee]

I am currently working on my reference letter for CEC Express Entry.

I am not sure what should I write for the hours of work weekly as I am working 30-35 hours depending on the week, sometimes I work more than 35 hours too. I don’t know what should I write for my annual salary as I am paid hourly wage. Can anyone help me with this please?

I have worked from January 4, 2017 to July 31, 2018. I have the T4 and NOA for 2017 and it says my income was 26328, should I write this number as my annual income on my reference letter? I am not sure how to calculate the annual income.

Thank you so much in advance for all your helps. Much appreciated!

The reference letter is to be issued by your employer (past and present), not written by you. As such it has to be what they state is the number of hours you work and salary paid to you.

Even though the letter has to be the employer, it is not wrong if you draft a letter giving them idea of what you want in the letter. As for salary and work hours, I think you can write the average. For myself, my working hours range anywhere from 20 to 100 per week depending on the time spent in the field but in the letter, I'll get them to state 40 as average, which covers the full time work hours requirement of 30 hours per week.

What about the annual salary? Do you know how to calculate it since I was paid hourly wage. My hours were not consistent, ranging from 30-40 hours depending on the week.

I suggest you add all hours that you worked together in the payroll and get the average. That would be more accurate and acceptable

I think the above advice is good. You can even round that off to write the average salary. The hours to wage calculation will act as a supporting detail for you to get your employer to agree to sign off on writing average annual salary.

So is it ok to just mention the average? Many people say you have to specify you work(ed) variable hours...
