Employer Statements API

Employer Statement Data Extraction API & SDK

An employer statement, whether it is a salary certificate, employment verification letter, or job reference, contains the data a lender, landlord, or government agency needs to make a decision. The problem is that every employer prints it on their own letterhead with their own layout. A template-based approach that works on standardised bank statements fails here because no two employer statements look alike. ByteIt reads the document by understanding what each field means, not by matching a template, so you get structured data out of any employer statement format.

Benefits

Reduce employer statement processing from minutes to seconds by eliminating manual data entry

Remove the compliance risk of retyped or misread figures such as salary and working hours

Enable HR and mortgage underwriting teams to process metadata instantly rather than hiring more data entry staff

Handle multi-page employer statements without splitting or recombining files manually

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Upload

    Send the document to the API as a file or a URL no special formatting required.

  2. Step 2

    The engine reads the document

    The engine analyzes the page layout and identifies the content that matters. ByteIt's extraction engine reads employer statements by interpreting the semantic meaning of each data field, salary, working hours, contract dates, employer name, regardless of the document's layout or whether it spans multiple pages.

  3. Step 3

    Structured JSON is returned

    Every extracted element comes back as structured JSON, positioned and typed, ready to feed into downstream systems.

  4. Step 4

    Confidence-based review

    Each field carries a confidence score, so low-confidence results can be routed for human review instead of trusted blindly.

Use cases

Mortgage and loan underwriting

A mortgage underwriter receives a borrower's employment verification letter alongside bank statements and tax returns. ByteIt extracts salary, contract term, and employer name from the employer statement and outputs structured data that can be compared directly against payslip YTD figures, reducing manual cross-check time from 15 minutes per application to near zero.

Rental tenant verification

Property management firms collect employer statements from applicants to verify income and employment status. ByteIt extracts the employee salary and working hours fields, enabling the leasing team to auto-populate their tenant screening system and flag applicants who meet the income threshold without opening every PDF.

HR onboarding and offboarding

When a new hire joins, their signed employment contract contains start date, salary, probation period, and notice terms. ByteIt extracts these fields and feeds them into the HRIS, Workday, BambooHR, or PeopleForce, via a webhook or workflow tool like Zapier, Make, or n8n, eliminating the 20–30 minutes of manual data entry per new starter.

Government benefit and visa processing

Immigration agencies and social security offices process employer statements to verify an applicant's employment history and income. ByteIt extracts contract dates, salary, and employer name in a structured format that can be routed directly into case management systems, reducing processing backlogs.
