Other evidence of previous employment
If you cannot get a statement of service from a former employer, you can submit other evidence of previous employment.
- Use the Other evidence template
Two examples of other evidence of previous employment can be used in a salary assessment application if you were self-employed or if you cannot get a statement of service.
The two examples of other evidence, when combined, must include this information:
- employer’s name and address
- the position you held
- exact start and end dates (if only month and year are given, the start date is the last day of the month, the end date is the first day of the month)
- exact start and end dates
- employment type – full time or part time
- hours worked – hours per week or total hours for the entire period (approximate, average or estimated hours won’t be accepted).
Examples of other evidence you can include (multiple documents can be provided):
- employer contract or reference that confirms information (eg, hours, start/end dates, etc.)
- accountant’s letter confirming the information above (eg, number of hours worked). Use the Accountant letter template.
Note: This template will not be accepted if you have used Xero or Hnry accounting packages. In this case you will need to include a statutory declaration with the Xero/Hnry generated reports and IRD records. You may also include information from the Companies Register website, although this is optional.
- payslips that match the dates provided and the employer
- Inland Revenue record of earnings
- bank statements showing previous employment
- KiwiSaver statements showing previous employment
- letters of resignation or employer’s acknowledgment of resignation.
2. Submitting the other evidence template and supporting documents
Provide your school’s payroll administrator with your completed other evidence template, and certified copies of your supporting documents. The administrator will attach these to your completed Salary assessment for teachers form (EP7t) and email these to Education Payroll.
If you are using My eQuals, share the link with your school’s payroll administrator, so they can include it in the in the body of the email they send to Education Payroll.
