Hi HR Practitioner! Would appreciate your valuable advice please..

I graduated from poly in 2014 with Diploma in Business (majoring marketing and entrepreneur). I have been working as an admin since then.. But most of the time people told me no career prospect. I was recently offered a more specialist job as an payroll and claims officer. May I know what's my future career prospects like? I was hired partly due to my school holiday job at IRAS where I do alot of tax filing everyday.

I'm currently taking my part time degree and planning to further study either HR or Certified Accountant... Not too sure is it true.. Payroll officer can be paid as much as 3.5k - 4k with 2 to 3 years experience.

Hi there, I wouldn't call a payroll officer specialist job as it is just another common admin area of HR like training & staffing. It is like the HR version of the Finance receivable / payable clerk.

I doubt a typical payroll officer with just 2+ years experience is paid 3.5-4k (that's higher than many accountants & auditors, very unlikely). Most junior payroll officers are paid lower end of 2k+ depending on complexity & qualifications. You will need 8-10 years industry experience to get 3.5 - 4k IMO.

what do you mean by that?

nope, not HR admin or those clerk doing AP/AR. Probably we're on diff "channel". In that 2 -3years probably we are 80- 90% trained on issues related to payroll such as tax declaration... the job is solely on payroll and claims (medical, bonus, benefits etc) for headcount of at least 500 - 5000.

If i got my degree with 8 - 10years exp on full spectrum of payroll and still drawing 3.5k probably i'm the cheapest HR in market. :(

LOL. Please lor, I did payroll in the past. The IR8A forms are all auto generated by Paymaster and your job is just to update the database to make sure all the employee information is correct.

You are not actually doing "tax" advisory, this is for the tax consultancies like big 4, payroll is more about ensuring the entries are correctly labelled and generate standard reports for finance to file.

As for claims record even more brain dead, process the forms, assign the correct cost centre then upload to HRIS. It\'s a job more for diploma and pte degree holders. Don\'t exaggerate please.
