Your employment record

Once you are connected to an employer, that employer keeps an employment record for you inside Lexpoint. It is what their immigration letters are drawn from, so it is worth knowing what is on it and who controls it.

Your employer writes it, not you. That is the point of it — a record you could edit yourself would not be worth anything as an employer’s statement of your job. Your role is to read it and to raise anything that is wrong.

What is on it

Each period of employment records the following. Not every field is filled in on every record.

Field	What it is
Job title	The title your employer attests to for this period
NOC code	A National Occupational Classification code your employer selects for the role
Weekly hours	Hours per week, to one decimal place
Full-time or part-time	Recorded by your employer. Lexpoint also derives full-time separately from hours, at 30 or more per week
Wage	An amount, with a currency. Stored as an hourly rate — an annual figure entered by the employer is converted
Duties	An ordered list of duty statements
Worksite	One of the employer’s recorded worksites, with its city and province
Reports to	A person at the employer
Start date	When this set of terms took effect
Permanent, or a contract end date	Whether the role is open-ended, or a fixed term with an end date. It cannot be recorded as both
End date	Set when the period closes

Periods, not one big row

Your record is a series of employment periods, numbered in order. Each one holds a single set of terms.

When the terms change — a promotion, a new wage, a different worksite, a rehire after a break — your employer closes the current period and opens the next one. Nothing is overwritten. The earlier period keeps the facts that were true at the time, which is what allows an employer to describe your full history rather than only your current job.

A record can have one open draft and one current confirmed period at a time. Lexpoint enforces both limits in the database.

Draft, review, confirmed

State	What it means
Draft	Your employer is still filling the period in. It cannot be used for a letter.
Review requested	The period has been put up for review before confirmation.
Confirmed	Your employer has attested to it. It can be used for a letter.

Confirming a period requires at minimum a job title, a start date, and a frozen snapshot of the facts. From that moment the period is immutable: title, NOC, hours, wage, duties, worksite, supervisor, permanence, contract end, and the confirmation itself can no longer be changed. The one thing that can still be set is the end date, and once that is set it cannot be changed either.

Why confirmed periods are frozen

A letter is a statement of fact on a specific date. If the underlying record could be edited afterwards, a letter issued last month would no longer match what the system holds. Freezing the period at confirmation is what keeps an issued letter and the record behind it in agreement — and it is why a correction is recorded as a new period rather than an edit.

Where you can see it

Lexpoint does not currently give you a full read-only view of every field on your employment record. What you can see, in Settings → Associations → Employer, is a summary on each connection card:

• The organization
• The date you connected
• Your job title, from the first period on the record
• The employment period — start date, and either an end date or present
• Whether the relationship is recorded as offered, current, or former

The job title and period appear only once your employer has recorded them. An active connection with no confirmed period shows the organization and connect date alone.

Settings → Associations → Employer — connection cards with dates and employment context. This capture is Ended; an active card uses the same anatomy.

The fullest view of the recorded facts you can get is a letter: when you request one, it is drafted from your confirmed period, and you can read the draft before it is issued. See Requesting an employment letter.

If something on it is wrong

Tell your employer. There is no correction request inside Lexpoint on your side, and a confirmed period cannot be edited by anyone — the fix is a new period recorded by your employer with the correct facts.

Do this before you request a letter. A letter is drafted from the confirmed period as it stands, so a wrong title or wrong hours will come through onto the letter.

This is not your profile work history

Two different things, easy to confuse:

	Your profile work history	Your employment record
Who writes it	You	Your employer
Who can change it	You, at any time	Your employer, by adding a new period
What reads it	Your ImmiReport and your immigration profile	Your employer’s letters
Who can see it	You, and anyone you deliberately share your account with	You and the connected employer

Editing one does not change the other, and your employer cannot see or edit the work history in your profile.
