You lie, you die. You should have keep current salary P&C instead of faking it. Good luck.

So how to answer let say the company insist to know my salary? I know the salary should be P&C. I think all company's policy is not to disclose your salary.

Can you brief us some background of your case?
1. Are you in the midst of applying the job? Or you already in new company and haven't pass probation?
2. Regarding company insist want to know your salary. HR request your payslip or request you to show your epf by login to i-Akaun?
3. Did you sign any consent letter?

You could insist remain P&C or say wait until LO is signed. If you can't hold the pressure then just tell the truth. Lying would not make any good for you.

1.Not for now. I am enjoying my time with my current company. Just that I have friend of a friend who is HR and she said that for all candidates she will ask them to tell her/manager their current salary during interview/in application form because of the company "standard process". She said it is required to know the market salary and for future hiring. I don't want to ask panjang2 as I am barely know her. That is why I'm wondering what if the candidate don't want to tell HR their salary. Can HR still know about it? Because from my perspective, I think it is not fair to the candidate. Sometimes they just do the interview just to survey the market salary. Very pity to those who put high hope.

2.I think just verbal. Not to that extent.

3.I am just asking. Didn't apply any job for now.

i have sign this form for ctos, can use for employment background check?

Thanks. I encourage people to work hard to get recommendations from their bosses before moving on

Currently I am waiting for background check which is still pending. I know it is still processing cause they did contact my previous supervisor (which is my 3rd job). And they contacted me to ask for my second job employer contact info. I have gave them as well. Today they contacted me again and ask for my first job HR contact info. I have 4 jobs in 7 years. Last week HR did called me to ask the reason why am I changing job so frequently. After I explained to her the reason, she proceed to discuss salary that she can offer and when can I start. She also told me currently pending background check and HR manager approval.

So I am wondering will my past job affect my employment approval? When they called my first job HR, do you think they can answer their question correctly as it has been 7 years. I am very worry and overthinking as I have high expectation and would really want the job.

Which company is this? Seldom see company will do a very thorough background check. Usually they’ll just contact the references that you provide to them in the application form. And even though they contact your first job HR, they’ll only get a very basic information about your employment there. Mostly about the dates of employment, how long you have been there & probably if they’ll hire you back in the future. Unless if you’re lying about your employment duration, probably that could be a problem to you.

Yes this is true for Financial Institutions. The checking is very strict and thorough, including your financial records.
It's under the mandate of Bank Negara.

it is a financial institution. So far all the information given is correct la. Just first time go through such thorough check makes me worry.

Oh no wonder la so detail.
If you have nothing to hide, then it shouldn't be an issue.

I'm also currently under background check, has been over 2 weeks & making me nervous. From FI as well. Probably gonna follow up today.

Today i just realized the starting month of my first job is wrong. It should be May but i written as Mar. So i quickly called HR about this and she said I can email the updated resume to her. Hopefully this does not affect anything.

Update us how was it.

Haihz.. no reply yet from the HR. I just hope the hiring process will go smoothly. Already went for medical check up 2 weeks ago issued by the company. Got a call from a third party checker to verify/ask about my academic credentials a day after the check up. From my colleague (who rejected same offer/position), the whole process might take like 1 month or so. The hiring manager was also enthusiastic last time.

I interviewed on April 8th.

Shouldn’t be an issue unless if the hiring manager or HR super kancheong about that.

That's really long. If after a month still no sound from them, I think you can give them a call. I was interviewed on 16th Apr. I guess I have to wait till after Raya then.

Ya, she sound calm and didn't question anything

Its a norm for FI industry background check to take up to 3 weeks, as they need to get your previous company to revert that you have no misconsuct and so on..
