Most human resource departments have predesigned income verification forms that they fill out and hand over to an employee who needs it for whatever purpose. Usually, an income verification letter or form is required when an individual applies for a loan or a mortgage, sometimes even if a big purchase needs to be made on credit. If your organization does not yet have a predefined income verification form, you might need to write a letter to verify the employee’s income when asked. What does it entail? Keep reading…
An income verification letter is a simple document – a finance / accounts representative writes a letter that charts out an employee’s annual income, and attaches proof of payment with it. Yes, this is how simple it is. If you have been given the task of writing an income verification letter, there are a couple of things that you will need to keep in mind. Firstly, you will need to verify that the individual really does work at the organization which you represent. Secondly, it is important to provide information of the employee’s status (whether contractual or permanent), along with his or her designation. Depending on where the letter needs to go, it may or may not be a To Whom It May Concern letter.
