Hi, not knowing where to post my question but i think this thread should be the most suitable one.

Let's say, your current pay is RM4K, you're expecting to change a new job and wish to get RM6k. Now you are attending an interview, during the interview, the employer asks you what's your latest pay, would you tell him RM4K? Or you will tell him RM7k as let him deduct RM1k to be RM6k, which is your expected salary.

Kindly share your opinions.

But i thought salary slip is P&C, non-employer has no rights to view it?

ok get it~

Let me have some fun by trying it:

1-What is your hobby??
My line is actually PR/Communications. So i will answer this way:
My hobby is actually socialising, simply because my personalities are outgoing and people oriented and I just feel comfortable and exciting to meet up new people. Therefore, I do actively attend various of events such as seminar talks, exhibitions, having official and unofficial meet up sessions with internal parties such as colleagues from different departments, external parties such as media friends, suppliers, business partners etc, build up good rapport with everyone I newly know or known for long time.

2-If in your team, u find a person that is not trustable.. how are going to manage it?
I will keep this thought to myself and I think it's not the best time to open discussion with my superiors for further action, I will also keep up working relationship with him as usual as I know it's not fair to suspect him without any provens on hand. Secondly, for every and any opportunities that come to me to investigate this person, I will grab it and from there accumulate convincing evidence such as signed documents, emails etc. Once obtained enough evidence, I will only make record to my superiors.

Like this can or not?

Did you read august.decision's post before you replied? I find that your statement makes no sense to what he/she is asking.

Even this is a simple way, providing P&C info such as pay slip is not wise.

Maybe she really interested in the job but not willing to disclose her payslip. That's why she wonder if there is any other way to negotiate.

I got one question:
EA statement or BE form both show our percentage of EPF or income tax charged per month or per year, if interviewer wants, he/she can really go and calculate and can estimate how much is our salary per month also.

So there is no difference if you show your pay slip or not.

My question is, my initial intention is not revealing my salary to HR as I don't feel comfortable in doing so, and I take payslip as my P&C document, so isn't showing EA or BE form is just the same as you show monthly salary slip?

You sound like you don't mind showing them your paylip or BE form, do you?

I never want to cheat them also, i don't mind they check my EPF but I am just thinking why the HR never pay someone according to his/her ability but according to his/her last drawn salary? That's unfair..
If i tell them my last drawn salary no matter how they will push down my expected salary 'gao gao'....

If to arrange by priority, mine will go like this:
1) The Boss Attitude ( I think if the boss always the problem or hostile, no matter what salary u get also no point.)
2) Work Place and Environment
3) Salary and Benefit
4) Opportunity to grow is really depend on the outcome of the Boss, if he is the one taking all the credits, than it's time to go.
5) Company Reputation
6) Distance
