An employee needs proof of employment for a mortgage, a landlord, a background check, a visa or a loan — and it's on you (HR or the manager) to produce it. An Employment Verification Letter / Verification of Employment (VOE) is the single most-requested HR letter, and PaperKit drafts the right one in seconds. Pick what it's FOR — a MORTGAGE LENDER, a RENTAL / LANDLORD application, VISA / IMMIGRATION support, a LOAN or CREDIT application, or a GENERAL “to whom it may concern” — and it reshapes the whole letter: the addressee, the framing and the closing. Say whether the person is a CURRENT or FORMER employee and it flips the tense and the dates automatically (“is employed” with a start date, or “was employed” from start to end). Confirm exactly what you want to state — job title and department, employment dates, employment status and type (full-time / part-time / contract), and a good-standing line — each toggleable. Compensation is treated as sensitive: it's OFF by default (the letter says figures are released only with the employee's consent), but flip it on and PaperKit itemizes base salary, bonus and more and sums them to a total. For mortgage and rental letters you can add a carefully HEDGED probability-of-continued-employment statement — the thing underwriters ask for — wrapped in an at-will / not-a-guarantee reminder so you don't overstate. It's a letter TO a third party, so you (HR) e-sign it online and send the clean PDF — there's no employee signature line. (This is a template, not legal advice; employers vary in what they disclose and overstating employment can create liability — confirm your process with counsel or a qualified HR professional.)
The big lever — it reshapes the whole letter: the addressee, the framing and the closing.
Mortgage lender — for a home-loan application; underwriters often want income and continued-employment detail.
Overrides the tense and which dates appear (former adds an end date and reads “was employed”).
Optional — leave the name blank and the letter opens “To Whom It May Concern” (or the addressee that fits the purpose).
Many employers release salary only with the employee's written consent. When off, the letter includes a “compensation not disclosed” note. When on, PaperKit itemizes the figures below and sums them to a total.
The HR representative or authorized signer. You e-sign the hosted letter online — this is a letter to a third party, so there is no employee signature line.
Turn on what applies. Title, dates, status, an offer to contact for verification, and a good-standing statement are on by default.
Only for a current employee on a mortgage/rental/loan letter. It's hedged with an at-will / not-a-guarantee reminder — overstating this can create liability.
A real employment verification letter. The purpose reshapes the addressee and framing; current vs. former overrides the tense and dates; compensation appears only if you turn it on. Publish to get a hosted link you can e-sign online.

An employment verification letter is a template for convenience, not legal advice. Employers vary in what they disclose; many confirm only title and dates and release salary only with the employee's written consent. A verification letter does not change the at-will nature of employment or guarantee continued employment, and overstating employment can create liability. PaperKit is not a law firm and records electronic signature via the signer's typed name; confirm your process and any legal requirements before relying on this form.
