AntiWailer: What you have stated here is NOT true. It's not mandatory for any employer to ask for your pay slip even in the big organisations. Stop misleading people!! |

It happens in every organization to ask such question, and it's not bad if u disclose it to them |

BabaIbo: Yes I am okay and my responses are not hypocritical. I have never revealed my previous salaries, yet I'm still gainfully employed so that negates your point on hypocrisy. It is not compulsory information for prospective employers, period! 1 Like |

It's a simple question sometimes intended to test your integrity... Ignoring the question even when asked orally was wrong. There really shouldn't be that much secrecy with regards to previous salary... 1 Like |

karkinase: It is not the norm everywhere but in Nigeria where there is no rules and regulations. In civilized climes, they bargain with you base on your prospective job not on your past pay in the previous job. |

NwaAmaikpe:. That's very bad of the OP, may be he is still satisfied where he currently work. That's a universal interview question, it either you answer and also chip in by letting them know that any other job you wish to pick should be able to pay you above what you currently earn. You need to let pride go off you. May be you are not yet exposed to attending interview. 1 Like |

Okuda: Only selected companies give that, most of these employers in Nigeria are heartless, some don't even give tax clearance and they deduct that from their workers salary. |

casiello: Oh, I see we are on the same side on this issue. I'm referring to the guy that said he should disclose his true previous earning. I adviced him that should in case he already know the set amount for the new job and his last job is way too low to the new one, it is either he politely decide not to disclose it or he should raised the old one a bit to measure up. Because these employers will surely cut down the pay and divert it to themselves if he loose guide, let's say he is earning 50k before and he is going for a job of 300k. They are just looking for a way to shortchange him. 1 Like |

It's wrong. It's typically an excuse for them to get information to arrive at the lowest value they want to offer. Yustash001: |

Angelfrost:How can his integrity be comprised because he chose not to divulge personal information? It is ann application for a new role and anything from the past that should really matter is his past experiences that he will bring. What he was paid is just no one's business. If that's the case employees should be told what their manager earns for openess and "integrity" |

I think you made a mistake. First, employers likes to hire people that are sincere.Disclosing your present salary to an organisation that wants your service is not a bad idea entirely. Banks does that too. They want to have an idea where they can place.you. |
