The Previous Employment Verification Letter is a critical business document used in New Zealand when formal confirmation of past employment is required. This document is typically requested by prospective employers, financial institutions, or immigration authorities to verify an individual's employment history. The letter must comply with New Zealand's Privacy Act 2020 and Employment Relations Act 2000, ensuring that only authorized information is disclosed. It serves multiple purposes, from supporting job applications to facilitating visa processes or financial arrangements. The content is limited to factual, verifiable information about the employment relationship, including dates of employment, position held, and any other details specifically authorized for disclosure by the former employee.
