I was just offered a CUNY role. The title is Higher Education Assistant. According to Glassdoor, the average annual pay for that role is $83,418. However, I was offered $62,500. I requested for the minimum annual salary to be 75k. Does anyone have experience navigating the CUNY system and their pay?

Say you will share if they share the salaries of the last three people who had the job. I bet that shuts the conversation right down.
Oh man I love this and will be stealing...

I can see asking for a paystub to verify your previous employment. But, I would only give this up if I've been interviewing at the company and this is a final requirement before I receive an offer.
However, what you've been paid in the past should not be a factor in the hiring decision or what they offer in salary. I just cannot think of any legitimate reason for any company to ask for a complete compensation history.
In many states, this is illegal for a recruiter to ask.
It should be illegal, it is in state of NY
As a contractor, I've been asked for this when another company has won my contract work. I always tell them the numbers do not include bonuses and awards payments, so it's just a baseline. No one has ever asked me for proof of addition payments.
Also, a recruiter has never asked me for this. Only an HR rep I've already been heavily negotiating with so we were waaaay past the interview stage.
There is no reason to provide this.
Hell no never provide such info. !!!

I’m going to question this actually happening…

If it is a bank, then I understand why they asked for your financial information. They want to make sure you aren't someone has has a history of fraud and/or a history of financial problems that might lead to you committing fraud. The rules on working with financial institutions are a little different than most jobs.
However, I still think this can be determined by background checks, and not by requiring you turning over sensitive documents.
I would say absolutely not, also pretty sure this is illegal in some states.
No……? This is not normal practice
Firstly, NO, you don't need to hand over your previous paystubs to a potential, future employer. You are not under his employ; you are an interview candidate. When they want to know how much you're looking for, ask them right back what the position for which you're applying for pays. If they cannot tell you that, then they're banking that you'll put out a number and possibly screw yourself. They are willing to pay an amount. You are interviewing for the position without knowledge of the pay scale. If they offer you a job, you will then need to know the pay so you can accept or decline. Like the employer knowing everything about the position, including how much it pays, the applicant knows how much they're willing to accept.
