Is It Safe to Ask for a Fake Payslip to Boost My Salary When Job Hunting?

Hi, I work in a small company comprising of 20 people. My salary is 1.8 LPA. Despite working in this company for 2 years, my salary has not increased. I spoke to the company owner about providing a fake payslip stating that my salary is 3.5 LPA when I change my job. He agreed to it. My questions are:

- Can this be done?
- Can I trust my boss to give me a fake payslip?
- Will I face any kind of difficulty for this in the future?

Please suggest!

Be ethical; never ever think of making these kinds of blunders.

Never ever do this kind of unethical thing. If you deserve it, you will definitely get what you asked for. So, have patience and keep doing good work. All the best!

Surprised to see how your boss has agreed to this unethical thing. It is definitely not a good company where the boss is of this type. My suggestion is not to believe your boss, not to do any unethical act, keep looking for good opportunities, and leave the company. Best of luck.

Hi there! I suggest not to do this. This will only spoil your career. You may need another fake salary slip when you change your next job, which ultimately will make you a fake professional. You will not be able to get into some authentic HR systems where the Form-16 or IT return documents are asked to prove your salary.

I suggest staying away from it and choosing ethical ways.

Advice for a Young HR Professional

My advice is: don't think of such illegal and unethical means, which will spoil your professional career. You are a young HR professional, and you have a long way to go. It will be prudent on your part to find a suitable job elsewhere as early as possible. Always think positively, and you will achieve success soon.
