Hello,
Let's say you apply as Skilled Independent, and submit letters of reference showing 3 years experience in previous jobs (so you get full points for work experience). For the current job, would it be okay to submit just an HR-type letter, saying you are currently working there, you joined at xxxx date and you receive xxxx salary? Since you have already proved enough work experience from previous jobs, there shouldn't be a reason to investigate your current job in too much detail.
The reason for not requesting a "full" reference letter describing your tasks in detail, of course, is that you don't want to avoid unnecessary questions from your current employer. For that matter, is there a way to avoid them checking your current employer at all? Especially if it's a new job. Calling your previous employers if fine, of course.
