Hello,
Wondering if anyone has any advice or knowledge about HR and legal matters : A friend is being recruited by the UN for a post, he has been asked to provide his "former" tax returns as proof for the years that he was self-employed.
Does anyone know if this is common practice? It just seems odd to us that a future employer asks for past tax returns rather than other forms of checking on self employment..
Thanks for feedback!

Hi Claude,
this sounds really strange. I guess they want to make sure that your friend really worked.
To bypass this dilemma, he can give them his AVS account details (link below) and give them that document.
I am not sure that a future employer is allowed to ask for tax returns of a candidate for a future position.
hope this link would help other people.

your friend should seek out other UN employees and ask them if this is common practice
