Just accepted the offer at FB Singapore, and got an email to provide documents for background check.

I’m concerned about one thing. While talking compensation, I inflated my total Annual compensation by 5k.

The background check company requires pay stubs.
Will this be flagged as red?

I know I shouldn’t have inflated, but what’s done is done. What can I do? Is this going to be a major issue?

    For US at least, HireRight instructions actively encouraged me to redact pay info. They just wanted to verify dates from the paystub, not the compensation itself. So I used the Mac Preview app’s redact function to black out anything related to money. That was accepted/verified.

    Nothing will happen. Just give them the pay stubs and everything will go fine.

    Just remove the compensation part. They want paystabs to verify that you indeed worked there and dates. They don't need that for verifying compensation.

  • They won’t share it with FB as far as i remember. Also don’t worry, 5k should not be that big of an amount that would worry a recruiter even if they do see it
