Correlation between current rate and previous low permie salary?

[MrRobin]

Seems pretty ridiculous to me... I would potentially consider scanning the first page of my previous contracts to send, but taking a black marker to the confidential parts, including rate, before sending it off.

Thanks for the helpful advice everyone.

I'll blacken out the confidential info, and if that isn't enough I'll just furnish the names of the various HR depts (had two permie jobs between contracts).

[TraceRacing]

I agree, give them a redacted version. If they query it, claim company confidentiality.

WTAS, do not supply full info, I have had this before with some chump constantly calling me to account for 'breaks'. This was after I had started work so I was less than interested. Each time I was getting increasingly angry as I explained this was time between engagements. 'I COULDNT FIND A ******* JOB' didn't even work and I had to get a mate to vouch for the time. He claims he wrote back that he heard I was 'in the Middle East preparing for the coming struggle', either way they lost interest.

Libel. I'd sue the idiot who wrote that.
