Get And Sign Employment Verification Form

Many US employers today won’t allow individuals (coworkers, supervisors) at a company respond to any questions or write recommendations. Everything must go through HR and they will often only confirm dates of employment.I know this, so I’m not going to waste time contacting phone numbers/email lists of supposed former coworkers or managers. Fact is, if anyone answered and started responding to my questions, I’d be very suspicious. Instead, I just ask for the main number of the company — which I can look up on line and verify to be the actual number of the claimed company.Same deal with academic credentials. I’m not going to use your address for “Harvard” … the one with a PO Box in Laurel, KS. I’m going to look up the address for the registrar myself.Sorry to say, there’s far too much lying on resumes today, combined with the liability possible for a company to say anything about you. A common tactic is to lie about academic back ground while giving friends as your “former supervisor at XYZ.”

I’m not a lawyer, but I’d say you don’t have to pay. The law, as I know it, requires former employers to confirm your dates of employment and title. If your former employer demands you pay a fee for this, ask for the demand in writing (say you need it for financial records), then send a copy of that demand to the company you applied to, and your state’s Office of the Attorney General or Labor Department. The demand on email would also work, as would a voicemail you can attach to an email.

The filing of Income Tax returns is a mandatory duty along with the payment of Income Tax to the Government of India . As the season closes by (last date of filing return - 5th August for 2014), many new tax-payers are in qualms as to how to go with the procedure as well as do away with the seemingly complicated mechanism behind it .Following are some of the pointers , which I acquired through self-learning (all are written considering the tax procedures for an Individual, and not Companies or other organizations).  Here goes  :1) Firstly , it is important to understand that Income Tax return is a document which is filed by you stating your Total Income in a Financial Year through various sources of income i.e Salary , business, house property, etc . (Financial Year is the year of your income , and Assessment Year is the year next to it in which the tax is due . Eg - Financial Year 2013-14, Assessment Year 2014-15)It also states the Taxable income on that salary and the Total tax payable with surcharges and Education Cess . The Taxable income has an exemption of upto 2 lakh rupees(For an individual, and not a senior citizen) for this assessment year , and 2.5 lakhs for the next (As per the new budget) . You also get tax exemptions on various other investments/allowances such as HRA , Fixed Deposits , Insurance Policies , Provident Funds , Children's Education , etc under various clauses of Section 80.People should know that return is filed to intimate the Government of your tax statements and it should not be confused with the Tax-refund one gets if there is a surplus tax paid by you to the Government . Return is not Refund .2) Government of India collects Income Tax through three modes :a) TDS - Tax Deduction at Source . TDS is the system in which any corporation/business as an Employer is supposed to deduct the Income tax of an Employee from his/her salary at source and submit it to the GOI before the end of Financial Year . The tax is deducted regularly from the employee's salary in certain percentage so as to overcome the liability of Total Tax to be paid by the employer for the Financial Year.The Employer issues a TDS Certificate in the form of Form 16 or Form 16A to the Employee which would be used to claim the TDS by the employee while filing his/her return . Form 16 is the certificate issued for the tax deducted under the head Salaries . Form 16A is issued for tax deducted for income through other sources such as interests on securities,dividends,winnings,etc.If the employee has some extra income through other sources , he/she should intimate the Employer about it before so as to include it for TDS . The total tax paid by you through TDS is also available online on the TRACES portal which is linked to your Bank Account and PAN No. for your convenience . You can also generate and validate your Form 16 / 16A from the website to file your return online .b) Advance Tax and Self Assessment Tax .Advance Tax may also be called 'Pay as you earn' Tax . In India one has to estimate his income during the financial year.If your projected tax liability of the current Financial year is more than Rs 10000, you are supposed to pay Advance tax !This has to be paid in three instalments. 30 % by 15th Sept,60% minus first instalment by 15th Dec and 100% minus 2nd instalment by 15th March.For individuals who are earning only through salaries , the Advance Tax is taken care of through TDS by the employers and there is hardly any Advance Tax to be paid . But for individuals who have other sources of income , they have to pay Advance Tax .If one forgets to pay he is liable to pay interest @ 1% p.m.Self-Assessment Tax - While filing your Return of Income, one does a computation of income and taxes to be filled in the Return. On computation, sometimes it is noted that the Taxes paid either as Advance Tax or by way of TDS fall short of the Actual Tax Payable . The shortfall so determined is called the Self Assessment Tax which is payable before filing the Return of Income. c) TCS - Tax Collection at Source .Tax Collected at Source (TCS) is income tax collected by a Seller from a Payer on sale of certain items. The seller has to collect tax at specified rates from the payer who has purchased these items :    Alcoholic liquor for human consumption    Tendu leaves    Timber obtained under a forest lease    Timber obtained by any mode other than under a forest lease    Any other forest produce not being timber or tendu leaves    Scrap    Minerals being coal or lignite or iron ore    Scrap BatteriesSalaried Individuals are not concerned with TCS .3) Online Procedure for Filing your Return , Payment of Tax , and viewing/generating your TDS certificate .  a) Filing Income Tax Return :The procedure is as simple as it gets . You have to go to the E-filing homepage of the GOI , i.e https://incometaxindiaefiling.go... and login to your account . If you don't have an account yet , you can create it through the 'Register Yourself' link above it . All you need is a PAN No. (obviously) . After logging in , you have to go to the E-file tab and select the 'Prepare and Submit online ITR' option . Alternatively , you can select the 'Upload Return' option to upload your return through an XML file downloaded from the 'Downloads' tab and filled offline by you .You have to enter your PAN No, select ITR Form name 'ITR1' (Form ITR1 is for salaried individuals, income from house property and other income) , select Assessment year and submit .Now all you have to do is fill the form with the tabs Personal Information , Income Details , Tax Details , Tax Paid and Verification and 80G to complete your Return and submit it to the Income Tax Department .The 'Income Details' tab asks for your Total Income through various sources , and Tax exemptions claimed by you under various clauses of Section 80 . It also computes the Income tax liability of yours for that Financial Year . The 'Tax details' tab asks for the TAN (Tax Deduction Account Number) and Details of Form 16/16A issued by the employer/generated by you for TDS . It also asks for Advance Tax / Self Assessment Tax, if paid and the Challan no. of the payment receipt .The 'Tax Paid and Verification' Tab asks for your Bank Account Number and IFSC code . If there is a surplus tax paid by you in the form of TDS/Advance Tax , you will get its refund with interest in a 4 months period by the Income Tax Department . After submitting the Return , you get a link on your registered E-mail id . This link provides you the ITR-V document (an acknowledgement slip) which you have to download , print , put your signature , and send it to the Bangalore division of the Income Tax Department for completion of your Return Filing . The address is mentioned in the document . Alternatively , you can evade the ITR-V process and opt to digitally sign in the beginning of E-filing , but the process requires you to spend money and is to be renewed every year .b) Payment of Tax - You can pay the TDS (Not required for an individual, it is to be paid by the employer) , Advance Tax or Self Assessment Tax through the portal of Tax Information Network , i.e e-TAX Payment System After filling the required form (ITNS 280 for Income Tax) , you pay the tax through your Bank Account , and get a Challan receipt which will be used during filing your return .c) View/ Generate TDS Certificate online .You can do it by logging on to the TRACES portal of the Tax Deduction System , i.e , Page on tdscpc.gov.in You will have to register yourself before logging in through your PAN no.You can view the details of your TDS deducted by the Employer via From 26AS on the portal .Also , you can generate your TDS Certificate in the form of Form 16/16A by entering the TAN No. of your Employer .

Yes. Home Depot hired me to work in the Rental department.The first day I showed up for training and donned my orange Shirt and Apron.I was placed at a computer to start filling out signNowwork and begin training videos and lessons.After about an hour in I was approached by an older gentleman and politely asked to come with him to be introduced to my predecessor.I was given a tour of everything, and we talked For a few minutes about what was expected of me and what to expect out of Home Depot.Back at the computer in the training room where I spent the next 3 hours doing learning center type exercises I was notified lunch time would be in a few minutes.I sat at the break room lunch table and talked it up with a few other tenured employee.come to find out the man I was replacing was about to retire from there after 10 years working in rentals.(he was well into his 70s)well the store manager and he pulled me to the side and basically told me that they didn't actually have a job for me, and my hiring was a mistake.I was livid! I passed up two other opportunities the week before.Come to find out the rental department clerk decided not to retire, and work a while longer.i was asked to turn in my uniform and exit the building immediately and to not return As I was basically fired!There was nothing I did or say to cause any issues with my job. I couldn't even start to plead for a another position before a security guard escorted me back to my locker to gather my things and then out the door.I vowed to never shop there again and to not let anyone I know to give it a thought.Shame on you Home Depot.

Most of the employers initiate a thorough background check on their potential employees. It comes as no surprise that a basic check would have already been done at the time of interview. (i.e, your digital footprint/social networks)It costs a bomb to verify each candidate. But then, it’s also a basic hygiene.Companies partner with third party verification firms like FADV, Jantakhoj, AuthBridge, HireRight and IDfy. The entire verification process is outsourced to these agencies.Here is a shocker - There are close to 7500 companies in India, which operate just for providing fake employment and educational certificates.The 3 major areas covered are: Employment, Education & CriminalIdeally, at the time of rolling out an offer, a company would ask you to fill out the verification forms. The forms will then be filed and forwarded to respective agencies.Agencies have access to centralized databases and also deploy field executives for physical verification. However, the verification process is not only costly but cumbersome as well. There is no single platform for non-IT/ITES companies where details of fraudulent candidates and recruiters can be found. Also, there is a lack of centralised repository of information, defined processes and procedures to conduct checks at educational institutes, police stations or courts

You should provide the following, no credit score or tax returns needed:- Employment verification letter- Two recent pay stubs that verify the salary claims in the EV letter- Two most recent bank statements that show a reasonable amount of cash- Photo ID in the form of a passport or visaGenerally, the above should be plenty, but it does depend on the landlord.The landlord will likely have you fill out a W8 form, as well - common with foreign renters.You may also be able to use a corporate guarantor service like Insurent. Not all landlords accept them, due to certain constraints or preferences, but worth checking.Some landlords will accept a full year's payment up-front; however, this can only be done in free market buildings (rent stabilized buildings have some rules against this). Even in free market buildings, it's up to the landlord whether or not to accept full payment, additional security, or some form of back rent up-front.When emailing brokers / leasing offices, make sure to inquire about their international leasing policies, so you don't risk wasting any time on buildings that have strict or unreasonable policies.Good luck and welcome to New York!

Large companies recruit people living in Europe with BS CS degrees. Few startups do, although some transfer visas and sponsor permanent residency for foreigners already living here.Most foreign software engineers come here on H-1B visas which are awarded in an April lottery for employment beginning in October, which can mean a 15 month delay before a recruit starts work plus a year for each time the application isn’t selected.Large companies can work with that because they’re always hiring, have other people in the pipeline to handle immediate needs, and will have a use for foreigners starting every October. Many are in expensive areas like Silicon Valley, have problems hiring Americans willing to work for what they offer, and use the H1-B program. There were Europeans working at Amazon in Seattle when I was there in 2006–2007, and my wife and I regularly talk to ones working for Google when we’re dining out in Silicon Valley.Startups and other small companies hire as required, need people to start in specific roles immediately, and can’t wait for new visas that may not be granted.Small companies can transfer visas for foreigners already here allowing them to start work immediately, and sponsor permanent residency so those employees may remain although many don’t. Most Americans including startup executives aren’t familiar with immigration law. Many companies don’t want the added expense of sponsoring permanent residency which most H1-B holders expect so they can remain after their second renewal expires.A few small companies employing software engineers observe that transferring visas and sponsoring permanent residency aren’t expensive compared to total employment costs, and are willing to do those things.

In addition to both you and the employee filling out the form, you need to do it within a certain time period, usually the first day of work for the employee. And as mentioned, you do need to keep them on file in case of an audit. You need to examine their eligibility documents (most often their passport, or their driver's license and social security card, and the list of acceptable documents is included on the form). You just need to make sure it looks like it's the same person and that they aren't obvious fakes.You can find the forms as well as instructions on how to fill them out here: Employment Eligibility Verification | USCIS On the plus side, I-9's aren't hard or time-consuming to do. Once you get the hang of it, it only takes a few minutes.
