If they don't have the P45 amended and reissued first to remove these details. Of course some of these details may still be possible to infer from P60 end of year details - I can't remember. To be honest - even allowing for legitimate privacy concerns - starting off with an employer telling lies and trying to hide details from them doesn't seem like a great platform for a trusting employee-employer relationship but that's obviously a subjective opinion.extopia said:I didn't say it wasn't. Was just wondering why he asked. I suppose it doesn't occur to most people when they inflate their salaries that they will in all likelihood catch themselves out the minute they hand over that P45 (or whatever it is) to payroll.
Not necessarily. I presume they get this from the P45 and that form can definitely be amended to remove previous earnings and hide the details from a new employer. In that case I guess the employer fills in the earnings from this employment and leaves the earnings from previous employments in the same tax year blank on the basis that they don't have the details.woods said:When an employer is filling in your P60 he is expected to fill in the amount that you received from previous employer and the amount of tax paid in year to date including from previous job.
How can he fill it in if he does not know it.
This would lead me to believe that he is entitled to that information.
Then that might be an indicator that such an employer is not worth working for. If the candidate and employer cannot discuss things frankly and negotiate openly then it would seem to me to bode ill for a trusting relationship in the future. Some people might not care but for me this could be a sticking point (from an employee point of view). If an employer didn't like the honest explanation about previous experience and the reason for lower earnings than I was seeking for the position in question and just wanted to apply a formulaic current + €xK to salary negotiations then I would have serious reservations about working for them myself.buzybee said:Sometimes peoples salary may not reflect their responsibilities accurately. This may happen in the case of new graduates/school leavers. They may be happy to take on a lot of responsibility for low pay, just to get the experience.
However, if these people are moving jobs, then the new employer should pay the 'going rate' for their experience. Some new employers will still only pay 2k more than the employee is currently getting.

Don't know but the option is certainly there on the P45 form.umop3p!sdn said:With respect to the comments above about amending P45s, who is going to do this?
