 Spinoff: When job interviewing, has anyone actually asked you for proof of your salary? 
Like a pay stub or a formal letter? I've never been asked.

 Re: Spinoff: When job interviewing, has anyone actually asked you for proof of your salary? 
it happened to my friend- she got asked for a pay stub
  it freaked her out b/c she had lied but not by much
  I bumped up my salary $4K last week at my interview
  but if I get offered the job I am asking for at least another $10K

Yes - especially in Finance.  They do a VERY thorough investigation - including a credit report.
  What industry are you in?

Nope.  I'm in HR - I've had to confirm people's salaries on numerous occasions - even after they've left the company.

  You could justify this with OT (if eligible) or year end bonuses if it's a verbal check.  W-2 will tell all though.

 Re: Spinoff: When job interviewing, has anyone actually asked you for proof of your salary? 
Yes I have had to provide proof of salary on more than one occassion.  I have been asked for copies of pay check stubs.
  I am also in HR, and I have verified salary on a number of occassions.  I have found a number of people who increased their salary on their apps, and they do not receive a job offer solely based on that.

Yes...and for DH since he's in commission he had to prove his numbers.
  Almost every job asked me for this.

i had to send a recent paystub, but that might have been just to verify employment.
