Työssäkäyntitodistus

A työssäkäyntitodistus, often translated as a certificate of employment or employment verification letter, is a document issued by an employer to confirm an individual's employment. This official document typically includes details such as the employee's name, job title, duration of employment, and sometimes a brief description of their responsibilities.

The primary purpose of a työssäkäyntitodistus is to provide a verifiable record of employment for various official purposes. Individuals may require this certificate when applying for loans, mortgages, or rental properties, as it serves as proof of stable income. It can also be necessary for visa applications, residency permits, or for registering with unemployment services.

In some cases, a työssäkäyntitodistus might also include information about the employee's salary or wages, although this is not always standard and depends on the employer's policy and the reason for the request. The document is usually signed by a representative of the employer, such as a human resources manager or a supervisor, and may bear the company's official seal. The issuance of such a certificate is a common practice in many countries to facilitate administrative processes that rely on employment verification.
