It is issued to employees by their employers and is required by employers when they offer new employment as verification of previous work experience.

The employer issues this letter to an employee on the final working day of the month or following receipt of a request for the same. This paper should be printed on the firm letterhead where the person previously worked. It must be signed by the company's authorized representative, which is the HR manager.
