No. Last pay stub does the same thing.

It establishes how long you have been working (yes, you can also do that with paystubs), but more important, what is your status: contract, permanent; as that also helps establish whether other benefits would apply, normally a contract has to provide his/her own health insurance, retirement monies, etc; at same time and because of those benefits, a contract would usually have a higher hourly rate. even when there is employment at will, a permanent employee has a sense of permanence that might support their petition. An employee letter usually also details bonuses and other benefits the person would have.

Again, case specific.

Is not a requirement, and it depends on the specific case and the embassy

If you have some specific employment situation and you believe a letter from your employer could help prove your income more than the pay stub alone could, then sure, include one. Past tax returns establish ongoing, stable employment though and along with most recent pay stub it is enough to prove you meet the income requirement.

The OP wanted to know if a letter from the employer is required. It is not. It is just one form of evidence that can be used to prove your income.
