Employment Letter Question...

[Hoang_Phuong 2]

So I talked to my employer. They said they couldn't write me a letter. Instead forwarded me to a 3rd party Employee Verification website. www.theworknumber.com

Pretty much this just says that you work from when till when, and where you are employed at. Not a actual letter from the employer. My question is, has anyone dealt with this before? And does the Letter of Employment have to be in a form of a letter?

I tried pulling up my records but it didn't work. What a hassle! Gonna have to make a phone call Monday.

Thanks Guys..

1st stop is the HR office, 2nd stop, direct supervisor, 3rd stop department head or owner.

These with your current 3rd party paper work should be ok. Also deposit slips from pay and maybe a letter from the bank if you have a contact that knows you, stating information about your employment deposits, weekly or monthly

Thanks for the reply..

The deposit checks I can get online. Wellsfargo keeps records of your deposits and is available for download in PDF format.

I work at a international manufacturing company. So the only people I can go to is the ones I report to everyday. Since I've worked there, I've gone through 5+ different supervisors because I moved around different departments throughout the plant. So I think I'm gonna try the 3rd party and see how that goes.

Did you tell them that it was for immigration purposes? At first, my hr said the same thing, once I explained to them the situation, they wrote me a letter.

Yes and the lady said that she gets those requests a lot..

I wonder if I go directly to my Supervisor, and if he does agree to write me a employment letter, would that work?

Should be fine. Just make sure that it is on official company letterhead.

also ask to speak with the director or head of HR, that lady was not doing her job. Your request is not out of the way

Depending on the company he may not be allowed to provide that as it is an HR function. Climb the HR foodchain to get someone who is responsive...

So it's been very busy at work.. Working in a secured area which I don't see a good friend of mine much.. my old Supervisor before I got moved to another department. I asked him if he could write me a employment letter. He didn't think twice about it and said to let him know when I'm ready. Whew!
