If an person is applying to another company, can HR of that company contact the person current employer to verify the person's current salary it stated on the application?

I know in NY they can only verify that you did actually work for the company during the time you stated. No other information can be provided, however, if you provide the new company with your SS# to do a background check they will be able to see all the jobs you've held and the salary/wages you received. IMO, just don't lie, it will come back to haunt you.

Call them and ask the operator that answers the phone for the name of the person in the personnel department. IE: the department manager etc, and go from there. Address it directly to them and you will show that you have done your research on the company and taken the time to follow through.

don't tell unless they ask you, or pretend like you just found out a few months after your hired.  you can't get fired for that anyway, it's against the law, and they should be Equal Opportunity Employer.

Mainly, it depends on the type of company you are applying to work for.\nIf it is any government or city agency, or a bank then yes.\nAlso, if it is for a hospital, airline, or something similar to that then, you can count on them verifying it.\nIf it is mcdonalds or walmart, most likely, they will not check it out. LOL\n\ngood luck!

If the company doesn't have a link to check the status of you application. Call them and ask.

It depends on how much hassle you want to go through. If you are worried about future job references,legally all an employer can say is when you worked and what your wage was. It doesn't matter what is written down. I'm not sure if you can file a grievance as an ex-employee but your work should have some system to deal with termination disputes. You have to decide what you hope to get out of your grievance and whether it would be worth your time.

Yes, they would let you go in a minute if it was good for their business, what is good for your life? You do not have to list them on any application form.\n\nDoes it feel morally wrong, do not do it and tell the 2nd employer that you told them the hours you were available, but they have messed you up.\n\nYour choice.

Choose the field/job you want, and tell the others in a very cordial letter.  Thank the "also-rans" for considering you for employment, and to please remove your name from their list of prospective employees at this time.  Here's a sample letter, if you want:\n\nDear Sir:\n\nThank you for considering me for a position in your company.  I appreciate the time you took to speak with me.  However, I have decided to accept a position with another employer who has offered a salary closer to my desires.  I would certainly like to ask you to please remove my name from your list of prospective new hires at this time.  However, I hope that, in the future, I could be a candidate for a future position with your company, should the occasion arise.\n\nSincerely,\n\n_____________________

It is against the law for a former employer to tell a prospective employer ANY false information.  Most of the time, they are only allowed to confirm your title, pay rate, and if you quit or got fired.\n\nSo relax, find another job, then leave yours without worry.

I don't think so, but I would do three things:\n\n1.  Ask them, in writing, what the status is of your paycheck.  Let them know what date you started, and what you believe the pay period to be.\n\n2.  If you were provided an employee manual, read up on the pay period policy.  If you don't have an employee manual, request one-  at the very least ask them to send you their WRITTEN payroll policy.\n\n3.  I would contact your state's labor / employment office and explain to them what's going on.  They should be able to answer your question right away, and possibly contact your employer.\n\nYou aren't asking for anything unreasonable, and they should be able to answer your questions.  You should also keep track of each time you speak with someone about your paycheck (name of person, date, time, what was discussed) in case you have to refer back to it later.  \n\nGood Luck!

are you drawing unemployment? if so it'll be easy for them to find out if you're lying.  The crime though... no crime until you sign at the bottom of an application stating you verify that everything within the application that you wrote is true to the best of your knowledge. it can be a felony but most likely a misdemeanor if they really wanted to try and hit you with the book... most companies don't though it's a waste of their time. but you surely wont get the job if they do find out. if you haven't been drawing unemployment just say self employed. don't ask your old HR to lie for you... they may say that they would do it and then tell the new company that you are lying and asked them to cover up for you... think about it.

You are ENTITLED to review the contents of your HR file.  You may have the option to pay for copies of the contents.  In the state of Florida, the employer may charge a "reasonable" rate for copying the documents as well as an administrative fee for the time it takes the individual to copy the documents.

This is all reasonable for your perspective employer to ask.  Be honest and intelligent with your answers. Saying that you need the money might be true, but the hiring person wants to know why this job and company in particular. SELL YOURSELF! Don't expect the job to be handed to you.

Usually they mean to bring names of people they can contact, not necessarily a written document.\n\nAsk people at your last job, preferably in positions of importance, if you can use them as a reference.  If you don't want your present employer to know you're looking, ask people you trust not to say anything if you can use them as well.

All the employer needs to do is call the reference to verify the validity of said reference.\n\nI am a manager, and I have fired two employees AFTER THEY WERE HIRED, because I found out they lied on their applications. One lied about her references (it took me a while, but I did find out they were all fabricated), and one lied about his education (I did not receive transcripts like he promised).\n\nDo not lie, because you will get caught (sooner or later) !!!

No... when someone calls in reference to their employment you can't "slander" them. But if they ask, would you rehire them you can say NO! Or if they ask if they were on time... if they weren't you can say no to that also.
