A sworn declaration carries less weight than an employer's letter: present it as a supplement to pay stubs, contracts, statements or any other document you can provide.
In what situations is it requested?
- a rental or loan application with no employer letter available;
- an immigration process requiring proof of employment;
- a recent or seasonal job with no pay history;
- an employer who is hard to reach or abroad.
What should the declaration contain?
- your full identity;
- the employer's name and the nature of your position;
- the start date, type of employment (permanent, contract, seasonal) and work schedule;
- your remuneration, if requested;
- a statement of truthfulness.
How does this relate to the end-of-employment declaration?
The end-of-employment declaration confirms the end of a past job. This one confirms a job in progress; the two may be requested at different points of the same file.
