Yes sorry not warranted. Most employers in the sectors/jobs I've dealt in would take a candidate witholding current salary information as being precious and difficult or passive/aggressive or is hiding something. Assuming the candidate started with that employer the earnings info would then be known to the employer from the P60 so its not like it would stay a secret. Having been in the recruitment industry for over 25 years I cant think of a single candidate who has held that info back on request so anyone who did would come across as an extreme oddball compared to the thousands who hadn't. But if you have a valuable and rare skill that's needed then you call the shots and it outweighs how you might be regarded.
