Rigid Company Policy

[eric.sears]

I asked company for an employment letter, with my job duties etc.

They gave me letter with title, salary but say they have a rigid policy that they do not provide any responsibilities etc.

I am wondering what I can do now? Has anyone experienced same before?

Ask a colleague or supervisor to provide such letter and if it's on plain paper notarize it.

My HR gave me a letter like that so I bypassed them and got my manager to give me a letter in the CIC format on the company letterhead and he agreed.

Same. I submitted the HR letter and my managers letter

Can you please refer me to the link for format of CIC letter?
I see only a format for 'Temporary Foreign Worker'. Would the below work (from a colleague)?

HR sent me an email right now, with the full policy which says quite clearly that managers/ members of management are not authorized to provide oral references or written references etc...

That's ok. Keep that letter and you can use it as evidence.
Are colleagues allowed to write letters?

 

[eric.sears]

I am not 100% sure, but i would say I can ask a colleague to write me a letter, with my responsibilities. Then get it notarized.

That's good. Do that, maybe even get two colleagues? Supply that with that email from HR, pay slips, tax info, work contract etc (anything you have) and you're on the right lines.

I am also in similar situation with my previous company. HR is not very friendly in terms of giving out experience letters. But i can get a letter from my ex-supervisor and get that notarized. However all my colleagues and supervisors have left the company. So their current contact details are private and do not show any ties to the company. Any suggestions how could i go about this?
Thanks.

Would like to know as well

In the letter from colleagues, I dont want my salary in. Is this ok or do i have to indicate that (mandatory)?

You need to demonstrate salary in some way. Pay slips or tax return might work.

 

[mgnlky]

Try to get a copy of your job description. Usually these can be found on a company's online intranet.

your colleagues can't certify your salary anyway
