Hi Andy,
I didn't attach any employment reference, let alone a detailed one, for
my current employment of six years. However, I attched my employment
contracts, pay slips and all other papers related to my current
employment. Also, I included a Stat Declaration with the details of my
job and other technical stuff.
Best wishes for your application.
Cheers,
Mike
