Hi folks,

The following is a template of a letter of reference that I
plan to ask a colleague to write for me. I would appreciate
additional feedback/comments/suggestions before I pass this
on to him. Note that I am on contract to his (my
colleague's) employer (Company1), from my employer
(Company2). My employer (Company2) pays my salary.






To whomsoever it may concern

worked with me as a software designer in the at in , during the period
from to and again from to .
was here on contract to from his
employer, of .

’s main duties while he was working here were to
, and to . had to handle the
following responsibilities to successfully perform his work:

Responsibilities while performing
1. .
2. .
3. .
4. .
5. .
6. .
7. .

Responsibilities while performing
1. .
2. .
3. .
4. .

To successfully perform his duties, had to
demonstrate and utilize his knowledge of microprocessors,
digital hardware, real-time embedded systems, and software
design, as well as his proficiency in the use of tools like
compilers, debuggers, profilers and emulators. In addition,
’s duties involved communication with people and
teams from diverse locations around the world,
including in , in
and in . Meetings would
often have to be held by conference since the participants
would be in different locations and time zones.

It has been a pleasure working with , and we have
both learned a lot from each other. I wish him all success
in his future endeavors.

Yours faithfully,

Did anyone pass thru acs without such a payslip, only with ref. letter
stating "earned so and so"?

I haven't got any payslips from my previous employer, just because there
wasn't any. All i could get would be statement similar to such a
reference letter (standard, commonly used certificate) or a (rather
complicated with no straightforward salary mentioned) social security
payment form -- both signed by the same person who would issue the letter or
maybe a tax form with annual tax income calculation.

I'd be happy if a reference letter would do :-)

We were not able to provide pay slips for the same reason (didn't get them). We made sure the references detailed pay, and provided bank statements to prove that this amount of money was paid into our account.

It must have worked as we are now the proud owners of skilled independant visas.

Hi,

I did it. I sent only reference letters and university documents.

I had my assessment only for 5 weeks.

By the way, I don't think that payslips are necessary for ACS.

Best regards,

Good to hear that ;-)

I just wanted to clarify that, thanks.

And as for ASPC: what kind of payslip did you send them? I'm asking you
because I'm from Poland so we're both living not in Anglo-Saxon countries
(where payslips are some sort of greater significance), while we can do
without them. Was it really that little slip of paper (which I receive nor
signed nor stamped, just a printout) or maybe a copy of employment contract
or some sort of tax form produced each year by employer (at least in
Poland)?

thanks for replying ;-)

Hi John,

I am from Bulgaria, so my situation is not so different.

First I want to say that I didn't send payslip with my application.

If DIMIA requests payslip I have 2 variants:

1. I receive payslip when I get my salary but payslip looks very
unofficial although it's legal and I sign it.

2. I can take official letter from my company about my salary and taxes.

I can sent 1 or/and 2, but I will wait until DIMIA requests it.

However I am sure that DIMIA doesn't recognize employment contracts.

Best regards,
Ritka

Thanks. I'm roughly the same, although i don't sign my copy of payslip (but
i think i could do it right away :-)

Anyway, i still have some time (gr. B w/5yrs exp :-(

And sorry for that 'John' of a very temporary OE, my name is Jerzy.

Hi again Jerzy )

Nice to meet you again :P

Why you can't apply now ?
5 years are enough for DIMIA basic requirements. Do you need the points
for specific work experience ?

Best regards,

TRA assessments are quire challenging and that level of experience
might not be enough in all cases.

I'm don't see how this would help in getting 10 points for work
experience.

I quite seriously consider having a quick two semester postgraduate
diploma in accounting. I'm afraid that i may need those 10 points.

But one would have got 9 or 10 years of experience being the same age.

Yes, it would be only 5 points for work experience. Another five would come
from age :-)

cheers,

Margarita Mincheva

Yes, for group B you need more work experience
