What is an employment certificate?
An employment certificate is a confirmation from a previous employer of the job title and period of employment of the employee. These are among other things used to verify the experience and seniority of an individual in the workforce.
Employment certificates from previous employers can therefore have an impact on the level of pay and sick leave entitlement of the employee (in government or municipal jobs).
