Background Verification: Can I Skip Pay Slips for a Short-Term Job?

Is it mandatory to submit each employee's last three months' pay slips? I have the payslip from my last employer, but I worked for only 2 months at a company. I have an experience letter, but I don't have the payslip for those 2 months. Is it acceptable?

Employment Contracts and Proof of Salary

All employment contracts are based on trust. However, the employer can demand proof of any information declared in your CV. Though it is taken as an affidavit, many employers require documentary evidence like a payslip to show that you were receiving a certain salary, based on which you were offered the salary by the employer. If you can't produce it, your candidature can be ignored, and somebody else may be hired. You cannot question the legality, but morally, the employer can rely on the declaration or affidavit by the employee that they were receiving this amount of salary. In the case of highly paid employees, they may even ask for previous tax returns.

Hi, In the absence of a payslip for two months, you may submit a bank statement as proof of salary credit (provided the salary is credited to your bank account), which employers typically accept. Additionally, you may submit a salary certification letter issued by your former employer, if available. While a payslip is commonly requested, in its absence, alternate proofs can be submitted.
