Based on what that was in response to, you lost credibility.

The problem now is you have not asked the right follow up questions to the good answers you had, to get the answers you need.

Agree with the others, your attitude has led you to come to a conclusion which is not correct.

If a company wanted proof of anything (salary, employee notes etc) about you from yourself then you could just serve a SAR on your company to obtain such.

So saying the future company wouldn't be able to get such information , even with your approval, is obviously wrong. It would come via yourself and the SAR but it would still contain the required information.

Still, good attitude for you to show to those helping you, well done.

Might want to check what a data handler is and who actually owns the data

OK, the fact is that you are considering obtaining money by deception. This is a crime.

Only a fool would take this route when there is no need; you can simply tell them how much you need to go and work for them, and this can be more than your current salary. If you are worth it, they will pay it.

we always require proof of earnings, pay slips, p60, etc. We're not allowed to offer more than 10% increase on new starters unless that is below minimum salary bands.

What a silly policy,

What people used to earn is often a poor reflection of their real worth to a new employer.

Don't pass on your P45, just fill in the P60 that yoiur new employer should give you in the absence of your P45,


sorted...

Think as Marco Brandon said you mean P46 not a P60 as that is issued by employers at the end of the tax year.

If you complete the P46 the new employer you will be taxed on a basic rate until the HMRC sends them the details of your todate figures from the P45 which the old employer sends in.

With RTI this will happen electronically and should be quick.

Either way the new employer will still have your to date figures but by competing a P46 you may pay more tax than necessary in the short term, although this is unlikely on the salary you mention.

I have to agree - someone who's just left University and been in their job a couple of years with no or an living costs only payrise may well have a "market rate" of £5-£10k more than their current salary. If you're therefore offering them potentially £8k less than the market rate you can't be expecting them to join the company!

Plus 10% is hardly worth moving employers for - especially when you factor in the risks of moving, losing security if they've been there more than 2 years, next payrise is likely to be further than if they stayed put etc.

I've been in the same situation and stopped persuing a job because of it - especially annoying as the job was advertised at +25-45% of my current salary but turned out to be a maximum of 20% at interview stage - had I of known I'd never of bothered wasting my time going to an interview.

Possibly the silliest recruitment policy I have come across, it amounts to a policy of recruiting the least good people

Rather than lie, which is stupid, if you are asked what your current salary is confirm your actual salary and then list all the qualifications you have received and projects you have successfully delivered without being granted a pay increase and then tell them that your experience and track record is deserving of the salary they offer plus you feel the chance to progress is better with this organisation.

Though like the way you've added more 'bones' there above, like it! Thanks
