Bring in copies of them but use a big Sharpie over most of the significant digits. Like, if your W-2 says you earned 45,000 for the year, cover over the 45 portion and tell them that your accountant advises you not to share that information. Do the same for the taxes portion, so they can't easily derive your income. Just tell them you thought they wanted to verify employment history and leave it at that.

Zarin posted:You think $0 would be more correct than "Private"? I have encountered many applications that require a number input into the salary field. I've seen this both for "current salary" and for "expected salary". I have always put 0 into those that require a number to be entered.

When it gets to the part where they make you an official offer and it's $10k less than your current salary, then you say, "I would love the opportunity to work for you, but I am currently earning $14k more than that offer. I want to work here, but I can't take that substantial of a paycut."

This is probably already covered somewhere in the past 24 pages of this thread, but I have a question about it anyway. I have an offer from a new company. They penciled in a start date of 2 weeks from tomorrow, giving me just enough time to give 2 weeks notice to my current employer. However, I have not yet completed their background check process, upon which their offer is contingent. How do I tell my new employer that they shouldn't reasonably expect me to give notice to my current employer until I have passed their background check? I have nothing to hide, but at the same time, I can't risk giving notice upon an offer that could be rescinded should they find something that even I wouldn't expect.

No Butt Stuff posted:Just tell them that you'll submit your two weeks notice once all the contingencies in their offer are met. Simple enough. I think it helps to hear someone else say what you said.
