Hi Preeti,
The general survey on HR's salary that I have done differs across metros. The bandwidth varies with the nature and reputation of the company.
Bombay:
- Trainee (fresh): $7,500 - $9,000
- Executive (1-2 years): $8,000 - $14,000
- Sr. Executive (2-5 years): $12,000 - $25,000
- Asst. Manager (5-7 years): $18,000 - $30,000
- Manager (5-10 years): $25,000 - $50,000
- Sr. Manager (>10 years): $45,000 - $70,000
Chennai:
- Trainee (fresh): $6,000 - $9,000
- Executive (1-2 years): $8,000 - $10,000
- Sr. Executive (2-5 years): $10,000 - $18,000
- Asst. Manager (5-7 years): $15,000 - $25,000
- Manager (5-10 years): $20,000 - $40,000
- Sr. Manager (>10 years): $40,000 - $60,000
Though the salary difference is by a few thousand in the bandwidth, the cost of living and the type of industry (IT/ITES/Mfg/Construction/Service), and the nature of the company (domestic/MNC) matter a lot in salary fixation.
Mostly, appraisals have to happen when every employee completes one year of service. Some companies do it in Jan/June, and when such things happen, the locked-up months are not taken into effect for arrears. For example, if one joins in Feb, they have to wait till Jun for a hike, and the hike will be effective from June only.
If recruitment is done only in Jan or June, then there are no issues. But is this always possible? Some may leave, and some will join. When some people fall victim to this delayed appraisal, they quit. So, according to this, every month somebody would join, and somebody would complete one year. Therefore, the appraisal has to be a continuous process.
This can be rough guidance and cannot be authenticated. I hope to some extent I have given the picture.

Well, I agree with a few points that she must receive a higher salary, but her performance is evaluated by her seniors and management. Some companies have salary constraints for their employees, which may be the reason her current company is unable to offer her a raise. She can choose to stay in her current job or gain more experience and explore other opportunities that may provide her with a better compensation package and opportunities for growth.

Hi Preeti,
According to your email, a person with 3+ years of experience handling HR and other activities, and who has been promoted to manager, should be paid no less than 25-30k (since you mentioned that the team is not large).
I agree with Mr. Umesh's suggestion.

Hi everybody,
I appreciate Mr. Chandrasekhar from Chennai for the salary chart. This is close to reality but actually based on judgmental anticipations, not on any principles. Because in India, hardly any logic or principles are applied; it's a market-driven negotiation as well as demand and supply-based model.
It's difficult to predict; that's the reason all professionals, managers, and craftsmen do not stick with one organization for long due to unpredictable variations in salary patterns. Many factors contribute to salary fixation, including the negotiation power of engineers/professionals/managers or circumstances of hiring companies for specific expertise, as well as the nature and level of the job, which again depends on negotiation power.
In general, we find all job site advertisements have inflated salaries, especially in IT, where salaries have hijacked talent hiring, leveling the salaries in the Indian market for non-IT engineers/professionals and managers, relying around 75 percent of IT salaries.
We must appreciate the good work under the circumstances so difficult, as explained to sum up salary levels in different parts of India on average.

Dear,
I believe that having 3 years of experience in HR may not provide an overall exposure to HR and Admin functions, as HR and Admin is a vast subject to learn.
According to my experience:
1st Option:
If she performs well and your management wants to provide a salary hike, you can implement a performance incentive linked with HR targets. This amount can be paid to her on a yearly basis based on the performance achieved.
2nd Option:
If your management intends to give a direct pay raise, offering up to 2.50 ctc could be a suitable figure for someone with 3 years of experience.
Furthermore, increments also depend on factors such as workload, number of employees in the company, the significance of HR in the organization, the extent of HR involvement in the daily functions of each department, or if they are primarily focused on recruitment and salary aspects. Company's paying capacity, etc.
Increment decisions should consider various aspects and not solely rely on an employee stating that they are underpaid.
I suggest thinking and discussing with your management to make a decision.

Dear Preeti,
It all depends on the capability to deliver rather than education and so on, since she does multiple jobs. How would you rate her, considering factors like psychological abilities, smartness, etc.? By analyzing these aspects, you will come to a conclusion. However, the amount paid in the market for smaller organizations ranges from 3.7 + perks to 4.5 + PA.

Hi All,
Thanks for all your replies. My area director has decided to give nearly a threefold raise on the current CTC. As I told you all, I have put in a lot of hard work to reach this point. I am happy with this now. Please let me know if I am wrong.
