Hi guys,

Is it necessary to put the total number of hours work for the whole period I work as a skilled worker in the reference letter?

Mine only says:

Job Tittle: ?
Period of Work: Dec. 13, 2011 to Dec. 20, 2012
Salary: ?
Hours work/week: 40 to 44 hrs
Annual Income: ?
Other benefits: ?

Duties and Responsibilities:
1.
2.
3.
4.

Will this one be okay or do i need to send an updated letter with the total hours work for the whole period?

I included in my application package some copy of my paystubs but its missing 5 months since i lost them :( :( :(.

Im worried that it might cause confusion to the officer and might reject my application for lacking hours based on the paystubs that i submitted??? :'( :'( :'(

Do i need to get a copy of my missing paystubs from my previous employer?

Seniors, please advice.

Thanks

i would put down an explanation on the cover letter with regards to this or as your accountant or the hr to give you a summary. Being in HR, I have an experience of giving these pay summary documents to the employees. It is not a paystub, but is the closest thing to it, you can request a summary for those 5 months.

Take it easy, it is going to be all good and yes, you need to mention the total number of hours worked as per your employment agreement.

Hope that this helps.

I mentioned in my reference letter that I worked 40 hours per week since "Start date" "End Date". This should be good enough. I'm sure they can do the math and multiply 52 with 40 :p. Bottom Line: If you've worked 40 hours or more per week (continuously for a year). You don't have to mention the total number of hours. However, it's very important if you've been part time or had weeks where you work less than 30 hours. So don't worry. What you did is correct! Also paystubs are meant to be as "supporting" documents if you don't have a proper reference letter. Technically, you didn't have to send them. Don't worry about the missing stubs. Tou should be fine
