My response would be, why do you need to know? I wouldn’t be comfortable sharing it.
During a background check they typically confirm title and salary so I wouldn’t recommend it.
It depends on the company. Some companies might allow you to authorize the release of a salary. Others will just confirm the dates of employment.
Is this actually even legal for them to ask in Texas? I never put my previous salary even if they ask on the application. It’s just a way for them to try and screw you. I’ve never had anyone ask this in an interview. But if they did I would say that I don’t understand why it’s relevant and it’s a different job and company and refocus on the job in front of me.
I’ve come across some application forms that require it. I don’t think it’s legal in Texas either
No - and some firms review W2’s for compliance reasons.
No don't lie they usually ask for verification, I would all out decline but I wouldn't lie
But to answer your question OP, honesty is the best policy. When it comes to negotiations just let them know the new role responsibilities require a higher salary.. or you’re leaving because you’re no longer willing to work at that rate. Etc.
What if my salary got cut, do I tell them that or do I share what my original salary was?
I’d go with the highest rate you got for the role in question.
It's not provided by background checks. Remember, compensation is not just salary, it is all the benefits and PTO, so you could add that into the answer. If it is required on your application, Just put the salary you are seeking.
