Detailing Benefits in the Employer Reference Letter

[sl2ubc]

Hello,

Currently, my employer reference letters state benefits as extended health and dental coverage. They do not include information vacation entitlement and/or leave eligibility. Will this be an issue? Would I need to ask my employers for new letters?

Thanks!

Don't worry about these kind of benefits, unless your employer forgot to mention some financial benefits (like e.g. end of year bonus 10,000 CAD etc.), which would make a big difference in your earning.

I agree. It is no needs to list all benefit as long as the earnings mentioned in the letter conform to T4 and NOA. Mine just said annual salary plus bonus without listing any other benefits like health insurance, fitness etc.

Thanks for the replies. You guys bring up another point that I didn't consider. My annual salary is $45k and this was stated on the reference letter but the employer didn't mention the small bonus that I was paid ($1k). Do you think I should have this revised?

Such a small difference is OK.
