1. First it is important to understand what types of job information are needed for your proof of employment sample letters.

2. If the purpose of your sample letters is to simply provide proof of employment for job purposes, then only the dates you were employed with them and a signature from your employer are usually required.

3. If more information such as salary, title, etc. are being requested then you can give your employer written permission to include this information but it is not necessary in most cases.

4. You can also find proof of employment sample forms where you indicate what information is being requested and have the employer provide this information and sign.
