Hi Experts,

My reference letter from my ex employer does not mention the annual salary and the number of hours per week.

It mentions Full time employee.

can I show salary slips and offer letter for annual salary.

Please advise

The salary figure is not important as long as you can show it is paid work and not volunteer/intenship/charity work. The standard of review for any additional documents you provide is the same standard for the reference letter, so you can either add a supplementary letter about the salary or get an HR generic letter showing salary info or provide attestations from your colleagues that your work is compensated.

Hi,
I am in the same situation, can anybody provide an update on whether this worked? My reference letter has all the details but the only thing missing in the annual salary which the company said they cannot include for confidentiality reasons. They have agreed to include this reason in the reference letter. I am also going to attach income tax returns and payslips. Will this be enough?

Yes it should. Don’t forget to indicate in your letter of explanation.
