I think they would, would that be too tacky to bring to an interview, at least they wouldn't have to call HR at my old job, they could just look at it for proof.
Paycheck stubs work for proof of employment when you are applying at the bank for a loan or at a payday loan place...that sort of thing. Job interview are NOT a time when you would present them....that is what references are for...and besides...they are not wanting to confirm you have a job...they are wanting to confirm on HOW you did the job.
yes for some agency's but your w-2's are real proof of employment or past employment. And, they are just asking for proof to see if you have the experience they are looking for. For example, just because your pay stub says its from some landscaping company, doesn't mean you did landscaping, you may have been their secretary.
While a little odd, I've found that every job application I've filled out wanted to know the salary info and during the employment verification they compared what was on the form with what the employer said you made.
I know that on my old job that if you information differed or couldn't be verified, they'd ask to see the paystubs, w-2 or the income tax return. People who lied and said they made $75,000 when they really only made $50,000 didn't get the job.

Actually they are valid, but employers would still require (and often depend on) references to know facts beyond the pay stubs.

Go ahead and bring photocopies.
