Salary certificate request
A bank or embassy needs your salary confirmed in writing.
A salary certificate states your pay on company letterhead, and banks, landlords and consulates ask for it. This is the request you send HR to get one.
Name what the certificate must show and who is asking for it, so the figures match what the reader expects.

Questions
- What does a salary certificate show?
- Usually your job title, your gross and net salary, any fixed allowances, and that your employment is permanent, on company letterhead with a signature. Ask for the specific figures the reader wants.
- Is it the same as a payslip?
- No. A payslip is a record of one month's pay; a salary certificate is a signed statement on letterhead confirming your standing pay, which is what a bank or embassy asks for.
- Who should it be addressed to?
- The organisation asking for it, where you know the name. A certificate addressed to the bank reads as genuine; a generic one is weaker and sometimes refused.
- How soon can HR produce it?
- Usually within a few working days. Give a date you need it by, especially for a loan or visa deadline.
