HR, ask for a copy of the old salary slip... should you give it or should you run?

HR, ask for a copy of the old salary slip... should you give it or should you run?

The interview day went well.

But before the end, HR said a single sentence that appeased me.

"Can I have a copy of the old work salary slip?"

The question is...

Is this normal procedure? Or is it a payroll trap?

Some say

• Not to = Not to Pro

• Give = hit the salary frame

In the HR corner.

Salaries should be assessed on "value and competence."

Or from the "same base of salary"?

👉 Why would you "give" or "give"?

... Read moreเมื่อ HR ขอสำเนาสลิปเงินเดือนเก่ามา หลายคนอาจรู้สึกกังวลว่าจะถูกกดเงินเดือนหรือถูกตีกรอบค่าตอบแทนจากฐานเงินเดือนเดิม ใช่ครับ เงินเดือน 15000 ที่ผ่านมานั้นบางครั้งอาจกลายเป็นอุปสรรคถ้าหากไม่ได้เตรียมตัวมาอย่างดี จากประสบการณ์ที่ได้ยินจากคนรอบตัวและทั้งตัวเอง พบว่า การขอสลิปเงินเดือนเดิมนั้นถือเป็นการตรวจสอบข้อมูลพื้นฐาน และยังช่วยให้ HR ประเมินความสอดคล้องของเงินเดือนที่เสนอให้เหมาะสมกว่าแค่กะเอา นอกจากนี้ การโปร่งใสกับ HR ในประเด็นนี้ อาจช่วยสร้างความเชื่อถือระหว่างพนักงานกับฝ่ายบุคคลได้ด้วย แต่ก็ไม่ควรละทิ้งสิทธิ์ส่วนตัว โดยเฉพาะถ้ารู้สึกว่าการขอสลิปจะทำให้เสียเปรียบ การพูดคุยเปิดใจและสอบถามเหตุผลเบื้องหลังกับ HR เป็นทางเลือกที่แนะนำ เพราะหลายบริษัทก็ไม่ได้มีนโยบายบังคับเสมอไป สรุปแล้วถ้าเงินเดือนเก่า 15000 และคุณมั่นใจว่าคุณค่าของตนเองสูงกว่านั้น การส่งสลิปไปอาจไม่เป็นสิ่งที่ผิด แต่หากคิดว่าเงินเดือนได้ไม่สะท้อนความสามารถคุณ อาจปฏิเสธด้วยความสุภาพและเสนอวิธีอื่นในการแสดงความสามารถแทนก็ได้ เช่น การนำเสนอผลงาน หรือการพูดคุยถึงเป้าหมายการทำงาน
