Not sure when does this payslip showing ask from HR started for interview ? As before 2007, all the companies I went interview including MNC, banks, and local PLC didn't ask for payslips and when get offered the job only one company ask for it.

And some HR even asked for appointment letter from current/previous companies, latest EA form, and bank statement showing the crediting salary.

sorry for asking this stupid question, how are we going to hide our past/current salary and expected salary when we apply jobs in Jobstreet?

i try to empty the column but it didnt let me save it...

It's disheartening to see HR still practice this and requesting for pay slip is one thing but than they didn't promise anything at all to the candidate even after revealing your pay slip.

But one should not show your pay slip . When the manager or HR ask for it during the interview ,try to interrogate them further.

1) why you need to see the pay slip?
2) So, you have doubt that i reveal a fake previous salary?
3) Than in the first place y u calling me for interview ?
4) Do you call me for interview because I have the skill for this vacancy ?

Once you have detect something fishy or fiction about their conduct, i mean do you still want to work for them???

Every company has its own set of policies.May be, its their requirement before hiring an employee to analyze that how honest was the candidate during interview. Whereas, there is proper procedure for this. They can contact your  previous employer and investigate. However, if you do not have a problem with providing your pay slip ( if you have told them your right salary ) then go for it .Its completely ok .

The company im heading for an interview requested past 3 months payslip and epf & bank statement.

Til today I don't really understand what it has to do with my skills to perform. I take personal data quite seriously and this makes me feel violated. Still, I'll not reveal my payslip cos it's will ruin my chance of getting better pay.

I do know I have the choice not to join, but seeing majority of HR is practicing such way to hire people it's very demotivating for me to apply.

I just stumbled to this thread yesterday and realized i made a big mistake. I need some advise.

A lil background of me is I am in E-commerce & Online Sales line with a basic and commission (sales target)

This new employer approached me and said I have this skills they needed. We had a couple of interview and in one of it I revealed my current and expected salary (verbally) to the new employer. And as expected the offer is way below my expected. I am talking only RM200 increment. I dont mind revealing my actual salary. I even put it in salary thread.

When I told them it is below my expected, they are now asking to see my pay slips as to better justify because my expected and the current salary has about like 30% in gap (gross pay + average monthly commission). I didnt provide anything to them yet.  I have worked for 7 years + and my salary bracket seems to cant push to RM3K. I strongly believe that it will take a very long time to achieve my expected if I keep revealing my current salary to new employers.

What I want to know now is their budget for this position. They said if I wanted to get my expected salary I need to achieve 10x sales target to cover back the cost, etc etc. It is kind of stressing me out a little. They have been talking all the sales target I needed to achieve if I am to get this salary or that. None of my previous company and current did that. I understand that I need to cover back my package by contributing value to company but the way they presented it to me sounded as if I am a very high cost to them. Aside from sales side, I will be contributing in marketing and administration side too.

Any advise for this ? I am keen to know their salary range for this role and I dont think I will get a truthful answer from them since I revealed mine. Should I just move on and look for other jobs ?

Thank you for reading

Im going interview soon and the employer ask me to bring along 3 months salary slip... Can I lies about previous salary because previous employer underpay me and if i be honest, the employer might under pay me based on previous salary too...

I called my previous employer to ask them lies for me just incase they called the employer. Can they somehow checked my previous salary?

When I hire people I look at the budget and what is the market rate on the job. Recently I have two openings and hire two people doing the same job. Both have different expected salary. As both are doing the same job its fair I pay the same amount. Hence person A actually gets about 10% more than his expected salary even though his experience is slightly more than person B.

Nope I did not. But I think our HR did due to company policy (not that I agree).  Our HR do not have a target for salary hence they practically agree to what we suggest.

Do have to add that HR do advice but in the end we have the final say. Also because my company is expanding like crazy. I think once this slow down then most probably rules will tighten. This is normal actually cause if you are new and expanding, you need to pay top dollar to get talent.
