Salary Verification Letter

A Salary Verification Letter is used to verify both the employment history and the salary and other compensation received by an employee. This letter can be drafted either by an employer or an employee who then delivers the letter to their employer to sign and send. An employee might need a Salary Verification Letter in the following circumstances:

• Applying for a new job
• Renting an apartment
• Requesting a loan, mortgage, or credit from a bank

In some cases, a potential employer may request a Salary Verification Letter from the current employer of an employee to confirm that the employee worked for the employer for the salary stated in their application and/or resume. An employee can use this letter as proof of representations made in their resume. A Salary Verification Letter may also be used to secure a loan, mortgage, or credit line from a financial institution as it serves as a proof of their ability to repay.
