Reference Letter for Employee

A reference that lists adjectives is forgettable; one that names a project, what the person did and what changed is not.

The letter confirms the role and dates, works through your points one by one, and closes with a clear recommendation. Keep it to one page.

HR Letter Builder

Generate employment verification, reference, termination, warning, salary increase, promotion, PIP and offer letters from one form.

Written by the manager, with two or three concrete points of evidence.

Fill the fields on the left. Anything marked required that is still empty means no letter is produced — that way nothing goes out with a placeholder in it.

Choose a letter type and fill in the fields.

These are standard templates in English, not legal advice. Termination and warning letters have legal requirements that differ by country — have them reviewed before you send them.

Frequently asked questions

What if I cannot remember the exact dates?
Ask HR — the letter carries your name, so date errors are on you. The tool refuses to write the letter until the dates are filled in.
Can I write a reference for someone I did not manage?
Yes, but say how you worked together in the key points, so the reader knows what weight to give it.
