Reference Letter Editing

[TLOU]

Hello,

It might sound controversial, but I have reference letters from previous employers, however they did not state the number of hours I worked and my salary. Is it ok if I just add those details myself with the company's letter head and include their signatures in it?

My issue is that it would be hard for me to ask for a more detailed experience letter given that I am not in the same country as my previous employers anymore.

Thanks

I doubt anyone will advise you for that. You know it better as what would happen if you get caught.
Better, looks for other alternatives like asking your ex-manager to write on company letter for the same or something like that.

Do not do this. just add your salary slips from previous employers. That ll do..

Most of the employers don't provide salary details in reference letter. You can add your salary slips, hike letters, promotion lettres etc.
There should not be any problem and you'll be able to provide originals in case asked for.

My main issue is that I used to work in Australia, and the company used to send those payslips on my work email. Since I left, they obviously deleted my email, and I did not think about saving those payslips pdf back then.

Do you think I could show my bank statements which shows when I was getting paid by highlighting them and explaining the situation in another letter? I can also submit my employment contract and all. What if my contract shows my job responsibilities also? Anyone went through this?
