As a part of Employment verification, many recruiters require payslips and other relevant documents from the prospective candidates. Sometimes they get confused about the authenticity of the documents submitted by the candidate. On the other hand, many candidates wonder how to overstate their salaries on their payslips and get a better deal. I did a bit of research to find out exactly what the current situation is. Therefore, this post is for every recruiter who encounters fake payslips and for every employee who has an inclination to fake it.
Many employees feel that this practice is not good. They feel that if they are a good job fit, they should be paid accordingly. They question the relevance of any past paycheck with the present job. They feel if they are good, they should be paid according to the industry standards.
The answer however is very simple. This policy is because many applicants lack integrity when it comes to reporting compensation while they negotiate a new package with a perspective employer. So asking for a pay slip and relevant documents reconfirms the claim of the candidate.
It is shocking how people who have forged their payslips are just out in the open. There are many people on several internet forums who openly admit manipulating their payslips and ask for advice regarding any potential danger that awaits them. Even senior officials, who have worked abroad and want to move back to India, have openly expressed the desire to overstate their salaries.
One hilarious anecdote I came across was:
Question: Is it possible to prepare fake salary slips?
Answer: Yes. But if you are in a developing country.
The truth however is, candidates go into severe depression, if they are caught. Future career options can also get strained. In one such case – a candidate had faked his experience but was exceptional at his work. He had been working in the organisation for five years. Somehow, his superiors found out the reality through a background check and since he was so good, they promised that he would be spared. However, afterwards they used him for knowledge transfer and terminated him stating that he had misrepresented facts. In few cases, employers have even gone to the extent of lodging an FIR against the candidate. To conclude, it is easiest and best policy to be honest especially about your paycheck. Here are some tips that a new recruiter would find useful.
The Recruiters Check List
• Ask for hard copy of the payslip.
• Ask for proof of payment though bank, cheque etc. This can be verified through an account statement of the candidate’s bank account.
• There is always a likelihood that these could be fake/forged payslips. So a thorough check with HR to confirm that the payslip is genuine is still recommended.
I can guide any firm on how to authenticate the candidate payslips ,also i can guide Employment verification process which is very simple and 100% correct.
