Document background
A General Reference Letter is a crucial professional document used when an employee seeks new employment opportunities or academic advancement. In Singapore, these letters must adhere to strict data protection laws and fair employment practices. The document typically includes employment duration, job responsibilities, performance evaluation, and professional conduct assessment. General Reference Letters are particularly important in Singapore's competitive job market, where formal documentation of employment history and professional capabilities carries significant weight. They must be factual, objective, and avoid any discriminatory language while providing meaningful insights about the subject's professional capabilities.
