Dear All,
I need your help. Please let me know the current industry norms for the salary of an HR & Admin Manager working in a good IT company. The role involves handling the entire HR & Admin department alone and providing support to the sales & marketing, accounts department, as well as the technical team. This position requires multitasking, with the main responsibility being the oversight of the HR & Admin department. As the number of employees is not significant, she also provides support to other departments. Please reply to me soon on this.
Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Preeti

Hi Preeti,
Your query can be better answered by me and the rest of the community if you could inform us about the location where the person is to be placed, as well as the seniority you are looking for (e.g., number of years of experience, age criteria, certifications required, etc.).
Also, I would like to inform you that the position you are looking for is quite specialized and comes with significant responsibilities.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply!! I think my post was not clear... I dropped in a hurry. Firstly, I will tell you the person is already working in this profile for more than 1 and a half years in Mumbai. The total years of experience are 3 years; qualification is B.Com, cleared M.Com Part-1, and has done a PG Diploma in HR. Now, she is promoted as Manager. What should be the salary if we keep in mind all these things + her performance, considering she manages all activities alone and delivers work on time? The current package is 2,16,000 p.a., which she feels is underpaid compared to her performance.
Please reply.

Hi All,
Please reply seniors, I am stuck! I have to answer my management asap. I want to know if the candidate deserves a hike in his/her salary and is asking for a three times raise as he was underpaid for the last year. We have promoted him as a manager and want to give him a salary hike too. But what should we consider before doing so? Please reply.

Hi,
I believe for the person who started off for less and since your firm seems to have given him a promotion, you can ask him to settle for 4.5-5.5 lakhs per annum. The guy deserves to get paid much more according to the responsibilities he has to look after, but since he has only 2 years of experience and since your firm might have a good appraisal system in place, I think the amount mentioned is quite competitive.

Dear Preeti,
If you are looking for these functions, everything depends on the location, age group, exactly what you are looking for in HR, and how many people are working in your company. All of these things depend on salary.

Hi Preeti,
I have gone through your post and felt that you might be undervaluing her. Provided the information as:
Exp: 3+ yrs Qualification: B.Com, PG Diploma in HR, and M.Com part 1 Relevant experience to the Job profile: 1.5 yrs Efficiency: Delivers work on time Location: Mumbai
I think you can consider a raise for her. Her current compensation is 2.16 Lac per annum, which monthly comes to around 18K. I believe this amount is low, especially in a financial capital like Mumbai. Her take-home pay would be even less than that.
Considering her situation, I would suggest you to consider a salary between 22K to 25K. If you ask why, here are a few reasons that I think justify my opinion:
a. She has an overall experience of 3+ years, with relevant experience of 1.5 years b. She likely has good liaising and business partnering skills c. She covers areas of HR and Admin comprehensively, making her a key person playing a vital role d. She has a PG Diploma in HR, which indicates awareness of HR core functions e. She is in a geographical area where the cost of living is high, yet she has been associated with the company for over a year.
I hope this answers your queries to the best of my knowledge.

Dear Preeti,
I think you are demotivated. Think positive. Don't feel that you are getting less salary. I know many people who are well educated and haven't even reached the manager tag yet are getting a salary around 8-10K. Now, you can think about how much better you are.
The basic principle of HR is that you have to motivate everybody, but it starts with yourself. Once you are motivated and satisfied with your company, only then can you convince anybody in your staff.
What do you think? Am I right? I may be wrong because I don't know your actual position in the company. Otherwise, I may try to explain in more detail.
See ya... I am in Gujarat, and we have one good principle here, which is the Feel Good Factor, and it really works. Try it out!

Dear Preeti,
I would suggest you follow the advice from Mr. SD Umesh. He was serious and reasonable in his advice because in India, salary is subject to horse-trading and negotiation. However, we must also take into consideration the economic reality of today's world.
Things have changed; no one can work for such a meager amount as expressed by you as an HR Manager. The minimum average salary for a 3-year experience should be sustainable to retain you as an HR Manager for the next 2 years because after that, you will earn almost double the salary of your present scale.

Hi All,
Thanks a ton for replying to me. I am so glad after reading all your replies. Thanks again.
I am the person who is looking for a salary hike. My company gives a three times hike if someone is promoted and if we have not appraised the employee for a long time. I am still with this company. You can read my last year's post and will understand how frustrated I was with my present job. I have dropped last year's post "What do you mean by an admin assistant?" After that post, I started taking things in a different way. Of course, all your replies have helped me a lot in making such a decision and to stay with the same organization. Till date, I have done too much hard work to come here. I am happy and hope things will go on smoothly now. It was not at all easy for me to do all this alone without the support of my director to whom I report, and he is the one who makes decisions. But now, he also appreciates me a lot, and I am involved in many things now; he seeks my opinion on many things. There are still small issues, but I know they will be sorted out slowly.
I had a meeting with my director on Friday, and he has agreed to give me Rs. 40,000 as a monthly salary. I am handling the entire HR & Admin department, providing support to the sales & marketing department, accounts department, and AMC support to the technical team. We are a staff of 13. I am able to manage all things, and I always try to give my level best to each and every task assigned to me. Now, management has strengthened me with one helping hand as an assistant to me.
Please let me know if not leaving this job was the correct decision in the past or not, and if what I am getting now is just with me or not. As everyone in my organization is now highly paid, and others have also received hikes in their appraisals. But I don't want to compare my salary with them, even though I know I am getting less than them and doing much more work in comparison with them.
