Testimonials and certificates
If your employment is terminated, you may request a certificate or a testimonial. You may also request a certificate during your employment that certifies your employment.
Certificate of employment [Tjänstgöringsintyg]
A certificate of employment is issued if you have been employed for six months or less. The certificate will contain details of the employment/s that you have had at Uppsala University. The certificate contains information regarding placement, time of employment and position.
If you require a certificate of employment, please contact the Payroll Unit at lon@uu.se.
Testimonial [Tjänstgöringsbetyg]
If you have been employed longer than six months, a testimonial is issued. The testimonial contains details of the extent of the employment, types of employment/s duties, a testimonial of how well duties have been performed as well as the reason for the termination of the employment.
If you require a testimonial, please contact the Human Resources administrator at your department/equiv.
Certificate of employment and salary [Intyg om anställning och lön]
You may request a certificate confirming your employment and providing details about your salary. Such a certificate may be issued e.g. when renting accommodation or requesting a bank loan.
If you require a certificate of employment and salary, please contact the Human Resources administrator at your department/equiv.
Employer’s certificate [Arbetsgivarintyg]
An employer’s certificate forms the basis for an application for unemployment benefit. The certificate corroborates your employment and contains information about working hours and absence by hours during the past months. Such a certificate cannot be issued until after your final day of employment.
This certificate cannot be issued on one-time remuneration fees, since there is no record of worked hours.
To receive an employer’s certificate, contact your unemployment insurance provider [A-kassa] or the Payroll Unit at lon@uu.se.
