How do you write a letter of employment?

1. Who are you?

A letter of employment is drafted differently depending on whether you are the employer or the employee:

• The employer – You control the full content of the letter, but you have to make sure to respect the privacy of your employee. Too much information can have a negative impact on the employee (they might not get the job) or they might take legal action against you.
• The employee – The problems mentioned above will be avoided, but your employer has to approve of the letter and give their signature.
  

2. Other information you should include

Information about the employers:

• Contact details;
• Position in the company;
• Signature;
• Information about the employees:
  • Name;
  • Dates of employment;
  • Etc.

You may be required in some states to obtain a signed release form from your employee to disclose any information.
