Hey All,
Just a quick thought, the question was "Please let me know how to verify the previous salary details (Previous company) of new joining employee" & not about the purpose of Verifying / Arriving at a Salary to be offered & as per Sarika's question its clear its for someone someone who has joined her Org...
To Clarify Raj -
1. As a employer, an organization has every right to validate the credentials of the prospective candidate to understand the background - To make sure the right talent is coming into the organization & as a candidate if I'm clear I would definitely not have any problems getting my Back Check done &
2. To determine a Salary, definitely yes as a Organization, it has set norms for a Band / Level ( based on Education, Technical Expertise, Years of Experience, Type of Organization coming from, what value add you get to the table & INTERNAL PARITY) & there wll not be a set salary - it would be a Range per say between 5-6 Lakhs / 6-7 Lakhs & all these are only Indicatives & not the underlying Rules & when you arrive @ a salary all the above factors including Prev Org salary plays vital role
Hope this gives you some insights....
Sarika, You can do the Salary Check the following ways -
1. Payslips of the Candidate & the Latest Revision Letter with breakup & to compare the same with Bank A/C Statement - this will give you a fare idea even if the candidate tries to forge with any of the documents.
2. Form 16 will help you identify if the candidate has been employed by the same org / not
3. There are multiple Background check Vendors available in market (First Adv, Carrier Cruse, AutoBridge are few recognized), you can approach them for the complete back check of the candidate - Education, All Employments, Address & Criminal Records
4. If you would want to do it your self - you can approach the Candidates Company ( HR Person) @ Mgr / Above level in the Core HR team who can confirm you over an E-mail.
Hope this clarifies
