You may not always understand why God allows certain things to happen, but you can be certain that God is not making any mistakes.
Proverbs 3:5-6
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight

Idol, my case officer requested for payslips and an employment contract for my current work. He did however specify that the payslips should at least include the earliest possible date and the latest one. Well I sent him everything anyway.
For the employment contract, a scanned copy of the original will suffice.
If you don't have these any of these will do (as I have also provided these for my other jobs)
-Bank Statement (indicating all payroll deposits to your account)
-Tax Certificates / Tax Forms
-Merit Increase or simply Salary Increase letters signed by both the HR Department and Department Manager
-and of course a Certificate of Employment
You can of course ask your Case Officer if you are in doubt of whatever document you wish to send him. Hope this helps
