Setting Up a Confirmation Letter Template

A Confirmation Letter is an official document issued to an employee upon successful completion of the probation period, formally confirming their employment with the organisation. This article provides a ready-to-use Confirmation Letter template with the relevant placeholders for use in HRStop.

Before You Begin

Before setting up the Confirmation Letter template, ensure the following:

  • The document template (.docx file) is prepared with the required placeholders enclosed in double curly brackets {{ }}
  • The employee’s Confirmation Date and Probation Period are updated in the system before generating the letter
  • You are familiar with how to upload a template. Refer to: Adding a Document Template
  • You understand how placeholders work. Refer to: Using Customer Keys (Placeholders) in Document Templates

Navigation Path: Control Panel → Forms/Policies → Document Templates → Add New

The template follows this structure:

  • Date (right-aligned)
  • Employee name, designation, and department
  • Subject line
  • Confirmation of employment with probation period, joining date, designation, department, organisation, and confirmation date
  • Closing statement and authorised signatory

Placeholders Used in a Confirmation Letter

A Confirmation Letter uses only predefined System Keys — no formula-based custom keys are required.

Placeholder Description
{{Employee.Name}} Full name of the employee
{{Employee.Designation}} Designation of the employee
{{Employee.Department}} Department the employee belongs to
{{Employee.DateOfJoining}} Date the employee joined the organisation
{{Employee.ProbationPeriod}} Duration of the probation period in days from the date of joining
{{Employee.ConfirmationDate}} Date from which the employment is confirmed
{{Company.OrganisationName}} Name of the organisation
{{Today's.Date}} Date on which the document is generated

Generating the Confirmation Letter

  • Single Employee: To generate the Confirmation Letter for an individual employee, refer to: Generating a Document
  • Multiple Employees: To generate Confirmation Letters for multiple employees simultaneously, refer to: Generating Documents in Bulk

Where It Reflects

Once generated, the Confirmation Letter is available based on the document generation options selected:

  • Downloaded directly to the user’s device
  • Stored in the employee’s document folder (if Save to Employee Document Folder is enabled)
  • Published for employee access (if Publish to Employee is enabled)

Important Notes

  • Ensure the employee’s Confirmation Date and Probation Period are updated in the system before generating the letter. These placeholders will remain blank if the values have not been recorded.
  • The {{Employee.ProbationPeriod}} key reflects the number of days configured in the system from the date of joining.
  • Preview the document before final generation to verify all values are correctly populated. Refer to: Previewing a Document Before Generation
  • Password protection can be enabled for the generated document if required. Refer to: Enabling Password Protection on Generated Documents
