Definition: A salary history is a document that presents an employee’s past earnings. Some employers ask job candidates to present them with a salary history when they apply for a job.
A salary history typically includes the name of each company, job title, salary, and benefits package the candidate has earned in the past.
Salary history is different from a salary requirement, which is the pay a job candidate expects for a new job.
