An attestation employeur (employer certificate) is a French letter in which a company confirms that a named person is, or was, employed there, along with basic facts about the role such as job title, contract type, and start date.
It is issued at the employee's request rather than automatically, and is written on company letterhead, signed by an authorized person such as an HR manager or the employee's supervisor.

The letter is typically signed by someone with the authority to speak for the company, most often a human resources manager, office manager, or the employee's direct supervisor.

An attestation employeur is a declarative letter: the employer states facts they know to be true, and providing one on request is standard business practice in France, though it is issued informally rather than under a specific legal form.
It is distinct from the certificat de travail, which French law requires an employer to hand an employee automatically when their contract ends. The attestation employeur can be requested at any point during employment.
