What should a reference letter contain?

One of the clients of our PRWT accounting office asked how to write a reference letter? What should be in it?

The reference letter should include basic information such as date and place of its preparation, designation of the entity that issues the letter, identification data of the employee covered by the references and employment information:

– the period during which the employee performed work,

– the position he held

– what activities he performed and how the employer evaluates his work (preparation, involvement in the tasks performed),

– employee’s relationship with co-workers and superiors,

– recommendation regarding the employment of an employee,

The letter can also include thanking the employee for their cooperation.
