As noted by the others, I would seriously consider this request under the guise of the company and position. Unless you have verbally told them your current salary there is no reason to provide this now - and if you did provide a verbal on this information then either they don't believe you or

Rule 1: You are only worth what it costs to replace you. Rule 2: There is ALWAYS someone willing to do more work for less money. On applications, it normally asks salary at each position. I typically list the range of my present position. I am normally willing to provide a copy of my present

You are not required to provide this info. However, they are not required to give you the job either. Hope you did not lie about it already. If you did, move on to dice.com, itjobs.com etc. You may want to find out what your existing payscale is. For example a project manager makes 42 to 60

S, This is an improper request from companies requesting this of you. Legally, they can only verify a 'range of salary' when they contact your employer for references. The best thing to say, especially if you don't know how to negotiate or forge a pay stub :-)), is to let them know you would

There is nothing you can do... If you want the job, then play their game. When interviewing for noticeably more in salary- it's safer to play offers (I have offer from XYZ, for XYZ). @ my old company, I saw handful of people inflate their current salaries with the wrong potential employers.

I absolutely disagree that there's nothing that can be done for a company that exhibits this type of behavior. VOTE WITH YOUR FEET!!! Remember, we're in a time when demand is high and skills are hard to find. Tell the company that your previous salary has zero bearing on what you now

Unless you're dying to have the job, I think you should tell them that you are not going to tell them how much you're making right now. Like other guys have said, this is one way for them to cheap out on you. This potentially tells a lot about the potential employer, too. "Stephane Wantou
