Information that must be included:

Your name;
Dates when you were employed;
Number of hours worked per week;
Name of your position;
Duties and responsibilities for your position (these must match the duties and responsibilities listed in the National Occupational Classification code you selected to describe the work experience in your Express Entry profile);
Annual salary plus benefits.

If you worked multiple positions for the same company you may submit a single letter, but it must include all of the above information for each position you held. The immigration officer will want to see the dates you had each position, as well as any changes to the name of your position, your duties, and your salary.

In addition, all work reference letters for Express Entry should be printed on official company letterhead with contact information for the company (address, phone number, email). The letter should include the name, title, and signature of your immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company.

Thanks for such an elaborate response.

Is including salary imperative? Salary as a graduate research Assistant is quite low and part-time positions at universities often have no benefits associated with them!

Yes all the points which are required as per IRCC needs to be mentioned in the letter.
It doesn't matter what the salary amount is but need to be mentioned in the letter and its quite important...
if there were any kind of benefits then you can include it in that letter but if you don't have any then also you can mention about no additional benefits ...
