This article explains the process of obtaining employment-related documents for virtual assistants and freelancers working under VPM. It clarifies the roles and responsibilities and guides users on alternative document options like Proof of Income.
Overview
As a Virtual Assistant or Freelancer working through VPM, you are classified as an independent contractor rather than a direct employee of VPM or the company you collaborate with. VPM serves as a platform that connects you with client companies, facilitating your work arrangements. Consequently, there are specific considerations regarding obtaining official employment documentation.
Key Details
-
Certificate of Employment:
Since VPM does not function as your employer or the company providing work, it cannot issue a Certificate of Employment. However, you can obtain this document by reaching out to:- Your Current Company: If you are currently providing services for a company through VPM, they may issue this certificate upon request.
- Your Previous Company: If you’ve worked with other companies previously, you can request the document from them to reflect your engagement.
Note: Be sure to inquire about the specific requirements and details needed for the issuance of a Certificate of Employment from the respective company.
- Alternative Documentation:
In cases where a Certificate of Employment is not obtainable, you can rely on a Proof of Income document available through your VPM account.- This document serves as a valid proof of your earnings and work involvement.
- It is accessible under the "Payments Quick View" section in your VPM account dashboard.
- Proof of Income may be used for verification purposes, such as loan applications, financial reviews, or other scenarios where income documentation is needed.
Important Notes
- Always clarify with the requesting party (e.g., a financial institution or government office) whether a Proof of Income document suffices for your intended purpose.
- If further assistance is required, you can contact VPM Support for guidance on document accessibility or company procedures.
