  • Confirmation of Address Letters: These letters confirm an employee’s residential address. They are typically needed for banking services, school registrations, and other official procedures.

  • Certificates of Service: These certificates provide a record of an employee’s work history at a company, including their roles, responsibilities, and duration of service.

  • Manual Individual UI19 Forms: These forms are required by the Department of Labour for unemployment insurance claims. They detail an employee’s earnings and reason for termination.
