Legal Question in Employment Law in California
A potential employer has conducted a background check and contacted my references. Now they have asked for documentation to confirm my current salary. Is that a request I have to honor? It seems inappropriate to me.

It is a common request by made by employers. Nothing illegal about it. You don't have to provide it. They don't have to hire you.

They are entitled to ask. You are entitled to refuse. They are entitled to reject your employment.
