Would you lie about your salary to a new employer?

This is really a good article written. We all will do this when we go for an interview.

No one will say truth about salary in interview.

But how, is it possible Sasi?
When he goes for an interview, he has to show his previous salary slip also.
His salary is fixed seeing his previous experiences and of course, previous salary slip.

This is called negotiation......after the company agrees on a particular salary, no one bothers about what was your previous one.......

No matter you tell your salary true or false.You got that job in interview on the basic of your knowledge and experience gain by your past job.

The article is good .I think most of the company's would like to see the salary slip.

sandhya, salary slip is a receipt. Format of the slip will vary company to company. So when attending interview people say lie about their salary. So they need to prove by showing salary slip. So they make duplicate slip easily. The new company doeSn't know about the present company salary sliP format. :)

Vinodh you want to told that the owner of the company are fool.No they run there own business they have a great mind.That why we are Employee and they are boss.If they want Salary slip they acquire every record from that company too.

Yes this is a good article and this happens to most.Nice experience.

yes, Wonderful article. In most of the companies they say lie your salary to new employer but this is reverse in last company I worked. After I joined the company HR joined her salary is 12000 but they never let us know about that. when the management stopped paying us then we heard that Hr's salary 12000

But Vinod,
Can you do it, if you are from a recognized company?
My husband is a private bank employee and I am telling it, on the basis of his experience. How can salary slip of recognized organizations like banks be changed? It is not at all possible. I clearly know it.
Also, my husband says... When we attend interview in another bank, before the selection process, the interviewer will surely enquire the previous bank, to know about the candidate and his performance records.

Sandhya It is simple there are many institutes and softwares where you can edit your salary slip. With this he can show more salary to that company.

Sandhya for bank employees I think this is quite tough as they give salary statement.

In the private companies especially IT, salary revelation is a strict no-no.....so when a candidate goes for an interview., he can very easily negotiate it as according to his will......companies are mainly concerned if you had worked for your previous company........If your salary expectations meet their salary structure....there is never a problem in that....

I do not think this is possible in corporate sector as your last salary slip reveals it all. We can negotiate on the basis of of our last salary but the standard hike is 20%.

Exactly as your bio contains all valid details including your last salary drawn, one is in no position to keep it a secret. If ever one tries to furnish a fake data, that is most likely to be traced. Negotiations are always possible.

Yes i will and i have done it too in the past in order to get more salary.As most of the companies give only 30~35% increase when someone joins it so its always better to tell lie for your salary. :laugh:

I think, it will be possible only in the case of small firms.
In banking sector, no...no......if he is a on role employee

I think I haven't lied ever about the salary however my new employer haven't ask about the precious salary proof . I believes to speak the truth.

Is tha possible in an organized sector. You will be caught at the first point.
