A female job applicant was turned down for an interview by a certain employer because she wouldn’t provide her pay slips for the previous three months. The business plans to “reference” the woman’s salary from her previous employer when deciding the price and even use that information to reduce her pay. The salary slip, according to some netizens, is a private document that shouldn’t be discussed in an interview.
Comprehensive media reports state that a Malaysian netizen recently released a screenshot of the interviewer and subject’s exchange online. As displayed on the screen, the interviewer requests that the job applicant send a pay slip from the previous three months. The female job seeker says that she does not want to share her pay slip and is only willing to provide a range of her current income in response to the unexpected request.
In this regard, the interviewer gave the woman a direct response, saying, “In this case, I am truly sorry, but I must cancel the planned interview session.” After the post was discovered, it quickly generated heated discussions among online users. Salary slips were frequently perceived as being private records that shouldn’t be discussed in job interviews.
