Employee Character Certificates (MS Word)

An employee character certificate is a document that certifies and verifies the good moral character and conduct of an employee. This certificate serves as proof of the morality of an employee during their tenure of employment in an organization.

A current or old employer can serve as a character reference and can issue an employee character certificate. It is not a legal obligation for employers to issue this certificate. Nevertheless, if an employer is certain of an employee’s character, he or she is usually not reluctant to issue this character certificate.

A character certificate is useful for an employee in various circumstances.

When an employee leaves a job and wants to start a new job, the new employer might require a character certificate from an old employer to ascertain that the employee has not been involved in any immoral or illegal acts.
Sometimes an employee may request that his or her current employer issue him a character certificate, which may have to be used for different purposes.
- If an employee wants to apply for a visa or immigration, an employee character certificate is a prerequisite.
- If an employee wants to apply for higher studies, the character certificate is requested by the universities.
- If an employee has to undergo some government procedures, the government asks for such a certificate.
- If an employee is mistakenly involved in a lawsuit and the employee wants evidence to prove him innocent, his lawyer might ask him to seek his employer’s help and get a character certificate issued.

An employee can use one character certificate for different organizations. However, generally, the validity of the character certificate is one year, after which the employee needs to get a new one.

An employee character certificate can be designed in programs such as Microsoft Word, or the existing templates in such programs can be used as well. There are only slight variations in the format of this certificate across companies or countries. However, overall, the general format includes:

Date
Name and details of the employee
Tenure of employment
Name and details of the employer
Signature of the issuer
Verification statement about the good moral character of the candidate

The certificate is stamped with the company stamp and serves as a guarantee by an employer in which he assures to the best of his knowledge that the employee possesses a good moral character.
