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.


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. :)


Absolutely people do that. :) I personally know many people who have done this in the past.Many of them got benefitted by it and few were caught in the interview :laugh: .But still they do it in a hope they will be able to get a more salaried job.

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.


i agree on banks and all we cant able to make duplicate our salary slip but, it also depends upon the document they providing. I have to see the document once then, i will decide it can be duplicated or not. because i help many of my friends in my garment industry & It field to get job with duplicate salary slip. it is true..

ya companies are ready to pay but, only because of previous salary we are not paying more. Then, there is nothing wrong on duplicating the salary slip. :cheer:
I do lie about my salary to new employer, so that we can get good salary in that company. It is very common.So i don't feel bad for it.
I do say lie about salary to my relatives and friends but not for family members

I know many cases where they were sacked who lied about their salaries, education etc. You can negotiate but not lie.
No i would not lie about my salary to any one. because it may just win a situation not trust.
I never lie to my employee about my salary. I hope its not necessary to lie about our salary to others in a company.

Not necessary but i think we should when we go for an interview as that way we may get more hike in salary. :)
That's an unproductive exercise these days when the prospective employers all the means in the world to verify!!

But they do settings like they are never caught in the verification also. :laugh:
I can not understand what is the benefit to lie about salary.
Yes compulsary I will lie because for what we are changing the company.
Corporate evaluates the rating of an employee on the basis of his/her skills not on false declarations. They have their own pay rates.

Excatly when someone has the skills which they think is worth of what the person is demanding they never think of verification but when they things are opposite they definitely ask for some salary proof and all. :)

Yes it is true.
So there is no need to hide the reality. But ask what one thinks he deserves for.
