Document background
The Letter of Reference for Domestic Worker is a mandatory document under German labor law, specifically required when a domestic employment relationship ends. This document serves multiple purposes: it provides future employers with reliable information about the candidate's capabilities, offers the employee a formal record of their work experience, and fulfills the legal obligation of employers to provide a reference letter. The content must adhere to German legal standards, including specific formulations and assessments typical in German reference letters. The document is particularly important in the domestic service sector, where personal references and documented experience play a crucial role in securing future employment. It must be written in a way that balances honesty with a generally positive tone, as per German labor court guidelines.
