CROSS-CHECK“Paid before the start date in the letter”
What this flag on a set of documents means, why it matters, and what to check.
What it means
The pay stub from the same employer is dated before the start date the letter gives.
Why it matters
An employer doesn't pay someone before they start.
Ordinary explanations
- A letter about a new position at the same company, with its own start date.
What to check
Ask the employer to confirm the start date. Use the phone number on the employer's official website, not the one printed on the stub.
A flag is a reason to verify with the source, not proof. Apply the same steps to every applicant.
