Your employment record

Once you are connected to an employer, that employer keeps an employment record for you inside Lexpoint. Their letters are drafted from it. Your employer writes it, not you — a record you could edit yourself would be worth nothing as an employer’s statement of your job. Your role is to read it and 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
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 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.

A record can have one open draft and one current confirmed period at a time.

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 least a job title, a start date, and a frozen snapshot of the facts. Your employer can still correct a confirmed period until a letter or report uses its facts. Then the period locks: only the end date can still be set, and a correction becomes a new period, which keeps an issued letter and the record behind it in agreement.

Where you can see it

Where	What it shows
Workforce → Current terms	The confirmed period in force today — Title, Since, Schedule, Pay, and Worksite — marked Confirmed by employer
Workforce → Employers → the employer → Employment periods	Every period on the record, newest first — job title, Confirmed or the period’s current state, dates or current, weekly hours, pay, and worksite
Settings → Associations → Employer	A summary on each connection card — the organization, the date you connected, the first period’s dates and its job title once confirmed, and whether the relationship is recorded as offered, current, or former

Duties, the supervisor, and permanence are not shown on these screens. The fullest view is a letter draft, which you can preview before it is issued — see Requesting an employment letter.

Add a confirmed job to your work history

Your profile work history is separate from this record. When your employer confirms a period that is not in your work history yet, you can copy it in. It shows as a row marked Action required in three places: Needs you on the Workforce overview, New terms to review on the employer’s page, and the job list on Profile → Work experience, which also has a Workforce filter.

1. Open the row. What they confirmed lists the title, NOC, dates, hours, pay, employer, and location.
2. If you already have a job at the same employer, choose it under Apply to to update it, or choose Keep as a new job where that is offered. When the confirmed period follows an earlier title, the drawer shows the date the earlier title closes.
3. Turn on This was during full-time study if it applies. See Work experience for what this toggle does.
4. Select Add to work history, or Update this job.

From then on, the job’s title, dates, hours, pay, and location stay as your employer confirmed them. You can still change the full-time study toggle. You cannot delete the job from your work history.

What you see instead	Why
You can add it on that date.	The period starts in the future
Your employer has not added pay yet.	The period has no pay
Pay must be in Canadian dollars to copy onto work history.	The pay is in another currency
This role is missing a title or NOC.	The period has no job title or no NOC code
This role is missing a start date.	The period has no start date
Open profile →	You have not started your profile yet

If something on it is wrong

Tell your employer. There is no correction request on your side. Your employer can correct the period until a letter or report uses it; once it locks, the fix is a new period with the correct facts. Ask before you request a letter or copy the job into your work history, because both take the confirmed period as it stands.
