Income/Employment
Okay...we know this is sort of an obvious one, but believe it or not, your Income/Employment is more complex than you can imagine. You may think that just because you have a job, you should be "good to go".
NOT SO FAST!
Are you Permanent Full Time? Permanent Part Time? On Contract? Commissioned Sales? Self Employed? Retired? Do you Collect a Pension? Have a Super Annuation? Have more than one job? Are you a Playboy Billionair by Day and Caped Crime Fighter by Night? Are you Batman?! Cuz if you are Batman...then always be Batman.
...that sort of got off the tracks a bit didn't it? Sorry...we get a little worked up when it comes to Batman...admit it, you did too!
Income/Employment varies from person to person. Some people are Salaried Professionals, others are Self Employed Professionals. Some people are Retired and their earnings come by way of Pension Plans.
Proving a person's earnings usually comes down to gathering a Letter of Employment and a couple of Recent Pay Stubs. But as soon as we start verifying Overtime Earnings, Work Bonuses, or Self Employed Income...then things get a bit more complex. Now we may pepper you for T1 Generals, T4's, T5's, Notices of Assessment, etc.
