HR-related Jobs - How much are you earning?

So it's really up to you to weigh between these options.

Doesn't matter for HR administration jobs, any degree will do. Just buy the cheapest one available.

Hi all, need some advice from you.

I graduated from local uni 1 year ago and joined as a HR payroll officer.
However, I do want to try out other HR roles such as C&B or recruitment.
I heard from my colleague that once you are payroll, you are stuck in it because it is too specialized and the skills are not relevant to other hr scopes.

Please tell me that this isn't true. I do not intend to spend the rest of my life doing payroll.
Is there any ways that payroll officer can branch out to other areas of hr?

TIA!

Just wondering if anyone has an idea of the pay for an Associate Director or Director HR in one of the larger companies?

Titles don't mean anything. A senior associate / manager in specialist track can be paid much higher than a director in a generalist track.

Depends on what you mean by other roles. For specialist confirm not possible in the next few years, if its other generalist hr ops role, its very easy to switch from payroll to other hr admin work.

hello hr folks

Sorry to hijack this thread. I thought there is no other platform better than this to enquire on a job-related question.

at my workplace we have encountered quite frequently candidates who had earlier promised to join our company (someone even signed the letter of appointment) but decided to back out later.

Wondering what is your usual practice in handling such cases?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Yes i understand you are correct, in this case does anyone have any idea of the pay of a director associate director or senior in a general HR position. Just want to get an understanding of the current payscales in Singapore in general HR positions.

No you do not understand. Titles don't mean anything.

It all depends on how inflated the titles are between different companies. A Director can range from anything as low as 10k to as high as 40k in a MNC. It largely depends on the scope of work that the person is involved.

Lets not even go into those GLC/CS/SME where Directors are just dished out randomly to junior level staff like cheap business cards. You need to be specific which company you are looking at before someone who has knowledge over there can tell you.

Thank you are correct the title does not co-relate to the salary. I am looking at places like Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa if anyone has any idea? Thank you for your kind response and direction. Appreciate any guidance.

If for HR Director as in head of department best guess is 30-35k basic for MBS. MBS probably pays little higher than RWS.
