UK: is it legal for your prospective employer to ask for a payslip as proof of salary? Any thoughts?

My understanding is that they cannot legally force you to show proof of pay. Even though it is unethical, they can legally ask for proof and deny your application if you refuse to show proof of salary. Anyways, from past experience I can tell you it’s best to stay away from companies and HR departments that base offers from the employee’s past salary. It shows they have no interests in remaining competitive as an employer and retaining their employees.

I don't like my job, the responsibilities and tasks aren't right for me or my lifestyle.

Key positives for my current employer are pay and security. But my new role within the company isn't working for me, and ultimately I don't think it is for the company either.

A much much smaller (20 people) company offered me a role.

With the global economic situation as is, is it worth the risk to change to a job I know i'd like more with less pay, and potentially less job security?

T.I.A.

Hi Fishes, I grabbed an offer at Accenture with 12 LPA fixed for Level 9. I'm not getting a retention offer from my current company at 13.5 lpa. How do I go about a counter offer with Accenture HR? Also tell me how to approach this situation smoothly.
