Certainly in our larger corporates in South Africa, the Human Resource executive or senior Human Resource person is paid at an equivalent rate of your operational managers, and they certainly will be pretty happy with the kind of salary that they can command. At the lower end of Human Resource Management, one would very much compare yourself to an administrative role because the profile of a junior HR person is really about compliance and administration. To put a rand value on it – it’s very difficult to say. Certainly from the bottom to the top, we’re talking R6000 a month to R120 000 a month.
