Salary History |
|
The purpose of a salary history when required by the employer is to determine a salary and compensation fit. This information SHOULD be given if the employer asks for it specifically in a job announcement or on an application. DO NOT give this information unless asked, as current career managers agree that providing prospective employers with your salary history can work against you.
When a salary history sheet is required you should calculate your actual salary by factoring in your Base Pay, Basic Allowance for Subsistence (BAS), Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) and any other special pay allowances. Remember to calculate the rate for the non-taxable value of the tax-free portions of your pay, and any other money added to your pay. Although you are creating this sum based on different items, only write one total sum on the salary history sheet or application that you give to the employer. |
