Government job check prev paycheck? (applying, jobs, pay, federal)

[sbm7]

I am applying for government job. Do you know if they will check how much you made from previous job?

[Moby Hick]

Which government? If you mean the federal government of the United States, they check everything.

What difference does it make if they do? Government jobs have pay bands or ranges, so they will make an offer within the posted range.

They won't.
