Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1370/1370=M/1430)

In Islam, it is unlawful and haram to tell lie. So lying for getting a job or increment in payment is not lawful. However, if one got a job by telling lie or his salary was increased, his income will not be termed haram if he is able to discharge his duty and he fulfils his duties punctually. The income will be lawful but telling lie will be sinful.
