The Employer Requesting Reference Letter is a fundamental business document used in New Zealand's professional environment when seeking to verify a candidate's employment history and performance. This document type is essential for making informed hiring decisions while complying with New Zealand's legal framework, including the Privacy Act 2020, Employment Relations Act 2000, and relevant privacy and employment legislation. The template is designed to facilitate the exchange of accurate, relevant information about a former employee's work history, performance, and professional conduct, while maintaining appropriate confidentiality and protecting all parties' interests. It is particularly important in contexts where formal employment verification is required for regulatory compliance, professional certification, or organizational policy requirements.
