Hi everyone,

I have a question about the Letter of Reference from my past employers.

For the past year, I have been working as an outsourced worker. Most of the time, this type of work is just like a traditional job. The difference is that I have to register a micro-business in my name and send my employer a tax invoice every month, or they won't pay me. The tax invoice is my equivalent of a pay stub.

The problem is, every contract documenting my employment is created using the identification of my micro-business. So the company that hired me doesn't want to sign a letter where I am being treated as employee because, technically, they are paying my juridical person for the job every month, not myself.


TL-DR

Does anyone has a model letter of reference for outsourced workers? Or more specifically, for workers hired through a juridical person?
Is there anyone from Brazil who worked as a juridical person and went through the same process? What did you do?



I also prepared a model myself, if you guys could read it ad give me some feedback, I would be really grateful:
