jrc01 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I'm pulling together docs for my skills assessment with CAANZ. Two of my employers (combined 2 years experience) have policies in place that only allow references confirming dates, salary, job title and won't provide anything that details my role and responsibilities. I understand you can provide a statutory declaration in this case but who needs to provide one? As a further sticking point comes from the fact other employees (e.g. former line managers) won't provide such a declaration as they don't want to breach company policy either. Do I have any other options? I basically won't receive an invite to apply if I lose that 2 years of experience (as I would end up with just 65 points). Thanks.

Jsmull87 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 My understanding is you will write your own statutory declaration detailing your role/ responsibilities and sign it in the presence of either a solicitor a notary public a justice of the peace I don't know if you are in the UK but if you are then you can ask HMRC for an employment statement which usually goes back 5 years to back up your payslips. If you have a contract of employment that would help or the original job ad. Coupled with basic reference confirming dates etc. you should have enough. I do recommend seeking advice from a MARA registered agent however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - yeah I'll be using an agent, just wanted to check before I pay anything that I'm actually likely to get sufficient allocation for my work experience. Namely because if I can't write a stat declaration myself for my previous two roles I'm a bit stuffed and would only therefore have 2.5 years of qualifying experience and so there'd be no point even doing an assessment at this stage. So good to hear I can probably just write my own statutory declaration; will then just get one of the solicitors at work to witness it. My previous roles are fine with providing dates, salary, job title etc. and I have copies of my original contracts. Not sure I have a lot of my payslips so will do as you suggest and contact HMRC.

ABG Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 You write the Statutory Decl. yourself and sign it in front of a notary. It’s much like an affidavit. I used one in my application.
