Money talk is perfectly fine

I'VE just got to the final stage of interviews for a new job.

- 

I've now been contacted by HR saying they want proof of my current salary sent to them at the time of the interview.

I've not been told how much the potential new job pays by HR or any of the interviewers I've seen so far.

I don't want to disclose my current salary, as I am planning to negotiate a much higher sum should I be successful, as the job is a major step up.

My partner says this sounds like a red flag to him, as this potential employer may use my salary to give me a low offer.
