Many thanks to most of you for your helpful answers!

I notice you ignored my question but I'd worry about that much more than the P45. If a potential new employer is asking you in interview what your salary is there's a good chance they'll ask your current employer in a reference as well. They don't have to disclose it but if they do I'm sure you can see the potential issues.

I'm curious, how much does your real salary vary from the salary you told them you earned?

I do feel for you in one sense as it shouldn't matter. However you went about it in the wrong way.

If your new employer does question your statement about your previous salary, you can always say that the figure you gave included typical overtime and a figure for any other benefits you may have received at that employer.
Your previous salary is only relevant to your potential new employer if they are looking to set your new salary below the advertised pay band.

It can also be an indicator of how the previous employer valued that person.

For it to be of any use it needs more information like industry knowledge, eg that employer is known as a good payer why is this chap on £20k less than the going rate.

It's quite telling that after lying to your employer to get money you wouldn't otherwise have got, you class someone who objects to you obtaining money by deception (which is a criminal offence, by the way) as a 'jobsworth'.

I hope your employer discovers this and fires you, my only regret is that you haven't left enough identifying information in your post that I could tell them myself.

You sound like a nasty, spiteful individual with too much time on your hands.

Thanks again everyone.

None of those are examples of CEOs being fired for having lied about their previous salary, so I repeat my question.

I don't know if it is fraud - the salary is obviously negotiable. Negotiations, by their very nature, involve withholding information, exaggerating, lying, pulling wool over eyes and blagging it. By advertising a negotiable salary, or asking previous salary, it is inviting negotiation. An employer would,I expect, have an upper limit of what they are willing to pay, which they will not exceed.

Or in other words you committed fraud! So you are now looking for information as to how to duck and dive in order to cover it up? Not a good start to a trusting contractual relationship really!

I'm sure lot of people do it, many will get away with it and no doubt some employers will not be bothered and see it as "all part of the game".

However, other employers will take a very dim view indeed and if yours in one of them you may well find yourself dismissed before you even start.

One of life's little lessons.

don't be ridiculous, its not fraud at all, a white lie at most, and one that probably 95% of people that have taken a new job have done

Once the salary is agreed, it doesnt matter what you were paid before, that was the amount each party have agreed is sufficient remuneration for the role, salary isnt some sort of ladder you climb between employers

As said, there's no need to hide salary, and the person that was interrogated by the FC, he had no right to do that and should have known that at the time

True, but if the new employers find out they are well within their rights to withdraw the job offer. In fact, I'd be surprised if they didn't as they'd view it as dishonesty (which it is, whatever way you label it) which doesn't look good for the future employment.

However, once again the OP has ignored my post so we've no idea how much of a problem this actually is.

I'll try again, how much did you exaggerate your salary?
