Recently, I got an offer from PWC as Senior Associate.

While negotiating salary, they asked me my current salary and I answered my salary including guaranteed bonus and health insurance(No out of poket expenses since my current employer is paying 100% for me) without those details.

Does it affect my employment later? Does PWC pre-employment screeing ask new hires provide paystub??

Or, should I make a correction ASAP cuz it is a lie??

I’m really regretting it and very frustrated with it…..what should I do??

Please help me guys.

They probably won't ask for a pay stub… I would be surprised. But I have never heard of an employer paying 100% of health insurance. So I would have thought you were lying about that from the start. Going forward… be honest 100% of the time. Better to be honest and not have to worry about crap like that than lie and worry about the consequences.

But if they gave you an offer you should be fine.

Contact them and tell them that your salary figure included these items.

Let them decide if they want to back it out.

You'll sleep better at night.

@Never_Give_Up1, yes, you are right… I would be absolutely honest. I am being penalized now.

Actually, my current employer offered me that they would pay 100% insurance as a compensation for lowering my base salary..(offer letter stated this).

@Jeff, if I contact and tell them, do you think it is safer than just doing nothing?

I am so afaraid of that if my offer could be canceled.

I have had 2 employers pay for 100% of my health insurance so I had $0 taken out of each paycheck. Granted…the health insurance was awful, but it did the job it had to at the time.

“Hi, Mr. Manager. I was just calling because I just realized that I didn't clarify the details of my salary amount. I included my health benefits and guaranteed bonus since this was a fixed amount of income that I received annually. Only now did I realize that these benefits may fall into another category and I wanted to make sure there was no confusion on your end. Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns.”

You're welcome.

You know what you should do. You're pussyfooting around to see if you can get away with what you know wasn't a 100% honest answer. You might get away with it; you might not. That's all there is to it.
