is it ok to mention the Salary in ref letter? pls confirm

[soonerorlater]

Hi everyone,

I need to take the employer reference letter mentioning my current roles & responsibilites.

I spoke to my manager for this, & he is skeptical to mention my current salary. He says this has to be mentioned only by the HR. My manager should not know my salary, so ideally he should not mention.

He is ok to mention it , if i convince him to. But will the CIC officers doubt the contents of the letter if my manager mentions my salary?

Please help.

Thank You

You must mention all of the following (it is not optional):

Letters must be:

• written on company letterhead,
• signed by the responsible officer/supervisor,
• show the company's full address, telephone and fax numbers, email and website addresses, and
• stamped with the company's official seal (if applicable).

Do like this. Get a letter from your manager stating your roles and responsibilities. Then get another letter from HR confirming your salary. Send both with ur application.

Your manager can mention your salary too. They have no reason to doubt it. If you think they will doubt it, send a salary slip or two which you received in the past months.
