Certificate of Service, Testimonial and Employer certificate

An employee who terminate their employment can obtain a certificate of service or a testimonial. On this page you will find information about certificates and testimonials, as well as a form for the immediate manager or a superior manager when issuing a testimonial.

If an employee has been employed at KI for more than 6 months and resign from his or her employment, the employee’s immediate manager or a superior manager can issue a testimonial upon request from the employee. If the duration of the employment is less than 6 months, a certificate of service can be issued instead.

A certificate of service contains information regarding the employee’s current- and previous employment history. A testimonial contains information about the requirements for the employment, a statement regarding the employee’s workmanship and how well the employee has handled his or her work assignment, as well as the same information provided in a certificate of service.

Certificates of service are issued by HR at relevant department. Form is found in Primula.

See form for testimonials separately.

 

Employer certificates (Arbetsgivarintyg) are registered by Payroll. The employer certificate is intended for the Unemployment Insurance Fund (A-kassan) and is registered on Arbetsgivarintyg.nu. A request for an employer certificate may come either from the Unemployment Insurance Fund or from the former employee. If the former employee personally requests the registration of an employer certificate, Payroll will need either a private email address or a private mobile phone number for them. The certificate cannot be registered until the final day of employment has passed.
