    Thanks for the responses.

    However, it is my experience, that if you are successful at interview they then request to see references. And whenever I have previously seen my bosses do these, it normally has a box asking them to confirm what salary you are on. So if you do lie it may not look very good??

    Asking for salary on references??

    We have never disclosed this. Just either personal references ie line manager about the character etc or just the basic references such as confirmation of when and at what position person did.

    The only time I recall being asked to confirm salary is for mortgage applications and similar.
    If you were to lie about current salary, Does the new employer not find out when they see your P46 or whatever that form is called that you take to your new employer?
    Not on a P46. There would be something on a P45 to give some indication, however you don't HAVE to give in a P45, you can always give in a P46 instead.
