The following documents are mandatory for each work experience declared:

a reference or experience letter from the employer, which
should be an official document printed on company letterhead (must include the applicant’s name, the company’s contact information [address, telephone number and email address], and the name, title and signature of the immediate supervisor or personnel officer at the company),
should indicate all positions held while employed at the company and must include the following details: job title, duties and responsibilities, job status (if current job), dates worked for the company, number of work hours per week and annual salary plus benefits; and
if the applicant is self-employed, articles of incorporation or other evidence of business ownership, evidence of self-employment income and documentation from third-party individuals indicating the service provided along with payment details (self-declared main duties or affidavits are not acceptable proof of self-employed work experience).
If the work experience is in Canada, proof may include copies of T4 tax information slips and notices of assessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (the time period for these documents should reflect the work experience timeframe [e.g., work experience from 2006 to 2008 requires only documents from those calendar years]).

Employers must provide you with a T4 by the end of February. (NOA, you don't get until after you file your tax return). The lack of a T4 could raise a red flag.

I neither uploaded T4, NoA nor any pay stubs.
I had an awesome emloyment letter though. The way I did it was, I put in some effort and provided my employer with a sheet/check list of all the information that definitely has to be mentiond in the letter. I even put the NOC duties for my position on that sheet as you can find them online. My employer basically just had to "check off" the list I gave him and even added further responsibilities/duties/personal recommendations.
I wanted this to be as smooth as possible for my employer and myself. The result was the perfect employment letter.
Not saying don't provide T4 etc, but it's supporting docs, not mandatory. Don't let people here scare you.
I felt very confident with the letter alone, that's why I didn't add any supporting docs.
