@thevenus this discussion is really about salary and not about proof of work experience, so I suggest starting a new discussion or seeing if this has already been addressed elsewhere.
To comment briefly, generally you'll include contact information on your employer, and the adcoms can follow-up with them. Additionally, in the US there are services that do background checks and can determine where you worked, for how long, salary, etc.
But, again, I'd bring this up elsewhere.
I appreciate that you noticed and mentioned it but I posted that because i saw the first URL posted by BB, and that includes everything and not just the salary. Don't worry we have efficient mods who can shift/delete posts here if they find the posts irrelevant.
As far as salary is concerned the level of work and salary should be synchronous. Some NGOs, or community service orgs pay less but allow a wider span of leadership unlike a small company which might be paying huge salary without a leadership role such as roles in direct sales, marketing, commission based jobs. I would request 'experts' to chime in and clarify.
