Is it common practice to ask for your tax form or pay stubs when negotiating a salary.?

Additional Details
Is this legal for the prospective company to ask and can my current employer do anything to me, other than fire me!!

NO it is not. Never have had that experience. Those may be used however to verify past employment.

ABSOLUTELY NOT

I've been an HR director for more than 20 years. I have never heard of this. It's none of their business what your previous salary was. They should pay whatever is fair for the job they're asking you to do. Nothing else is material. I'd be suspicious of a company that insisted on this.


Jen T
No - never heard of that approach. They know what the position is worth, if your resume is good and they contact business references to confirm you have not lied, then there is no reason to request tax information or pay stubs. In fact that sounds like it would be an illegal practice. I don't know if it is or not, it just sounds illegal.

Not real common, but not unheard of - they're trying to verify what you told them your previous salary was.

Do you mean a potential employer asked for proof of your current salary? No, that is not common. And I wouldn't give him such information.

An employer knows what he is willing to pay for services rendered. All he can do is make an offer. You in turn know how much you are willing to accept for your services. If you don't like his offer, you counter.

This is what negotiation is all about.


Mark C
I've heard of it before - I wouldn't say it's common. It's a cheeky way of a new employer using your existing salary to offer you as little as possible for the new job.
My answer would be "I feel that it is a private matter and believe that, if you are offering me a job, we can come to an agreement that will be acceptable for both parties".
They're a cheap company, if they are starting off that way...good luck


phillipa_gordon
No. You would have to voluntarily provide these, as an employer can't actually "demand" them.

In all my years of working at many different jobs, I've NEVER enountered that. And if they asked, I'd not even THINK of working there. That's WAY to nosey!

It's not common in most professions, but...if you are (or trying to get) in a paid-by-performance profession, i.e, sales or any kind of "rain maker", your future employer may ask you for proof of your performance.
Specially if you are requesting something special for you.

Usually, the easiest way to do that would be your pay stubs, W-2s, any docs showing how much you've made.

Have fun !

They are trying to base your would be new salary off of what you currently make plus say 5 or 10 %...or possibly less.
