salaries data can be verified

Hi,
If you are planning to overstate your salary, be warned.

Hi,
Do you know if someone will confirm your existing salary? I work in HR and we constantly receive requests to confirm salary of our staff. We flatly state that this data is confidential and refuse to confirm or deny the salary details. Of course we know that our staff are overstating their salary outside.

Jasmine

(your salary is confidential and should remain that wei)

There's nothing wrong with asking for the latest payslip. Even government organisation asked for it. Anyway, the information you gave about your current and past employment is subjected to verification if the company chose to. This is to prevent candidates from inflating their last drawn in the hope of getting a higher offer.

I am not from HR. And I have never declared a false salary. So I have nothing to fear.

Of course, I also feel the practice of basing your offer on your last drawn is not fair to the candidates.

Frankly this practice of Singapore companies demanding previous salary slips when they hire new employees is as immoral and dishonest as the candidates themselves inflating their previous salaries. In normal countries, the new salary would be pre-determined for lower-levels, or by negotiation and mutual agreement at the higher-end. Not what I hear is the local practice of X% more than what was on your last payslip...

It's not the employers business how much I earned in the previous job, instead if the employee wants X and the company is OK with that then end of story. If the company only wants to pay Y then they could negotiate. Using the pay slip as some kind of reference is not right.

Qaz When I change job.. my usual response when asked why i wanna change is that I actually do not intend to change job.. but the available position & ur company is simply something that I dream for / regret if I dont try etc.. will also tell them that I did not apply any other job except this one..

in fact, mention that u have applied in the company before and come up with some crap reason why u think being in the company is such a big deal to u.. make sure u sound excited when u talk abt dat company..

I always try to change my tone & body language when talking on different topics to enhance what I want the interviewer to think I feel abt dat topic..

Eg.. i will sound bored & monotonous but talk alot if asked how I will handle a particular problem.. anyway, back to ur problem.. in a nutshell, I wud just say I'm not intending to leave my current position if not for this opportunity in your company

It makes sense for me to do that, rather then just sit around and wait without a job.

So now that the opportunity arises for me to have an interview with this company, I don't think I should let it pass. Given this situation, I don't think I will "look bad" to the potential employer if I explain this to them... agree?
The best thing you can do out of this bad situation is to say after joining a few months you find the job very different from what was described to you during interview. Then cite a few "examples" to illustrate ur pt.

Base on what you say, if you honestly tell them what happen they will write you off immediately. This reflect extremely bad on you, basically ur telling them you will sign the first contract that comes along and run road the moment another better contract comes. The next thing they will assume is what's there to stop you from running again if next month another of your interviewed company offer you a job?
