Dear All,

One of the new joiners in our company is assisting the Managing Director (MD) and also taking care of administration activities. Could you please suggest what would be the appropriate designation for this role and the corresponding grade level?

Thank you,

Hi Priya,

The designation of the new employee could be EA (Executive Assistant) to MD. The grade, however, would depend on the exact nature of his/her job and the level of responsibility he/she is handling. This could vary from an Associate Manager to a GM level. I hope this clarifies your question.

Hi,

The title could be either Personal Assistant to MD or Admin Officer or Sr. Admin Officer, based on the responsibilities given to him/her and the reporting structure of this particular position. Also, it is not uncommon to assign additional tasks to any employee of any post. So, an HR may also be asked to look after hotel or travel arrangements for senior staff, or a PA can be asked to take on an admin role. Such roles usually overlap. You can go ahead with PA, EA, ES, or PS.

Good luck!!!

Grade can be decided considering the role and responsibility, as well as the years of experience the person has (not the priority), and the salary bracket decided for the post. All these can be clarified if you directly speak to your MD. He must have all these in mind.

Ms. Priya,

The person who is assisting your MD. The designation may vary from organization to organization. In case the person is a graduate and liaising with other statutory or government offices, then he can be called a Public Relations Officer (PRO) or Executive MD Office. The designation may be Assistant to the Executive, depending on his qualifications, salary, and the nature of the job he performs.

Since you are in HR, you can decide on the factors mentioned above.

Primarily, the designation and package will be conferred on the new joiner based on his earlier employment. In the case of fresh recruitment, the designation is created and determined by the management. If no such position exists, as he is a fresher, put him on a probationary or trainee period as per company rules, and then confer upon him the designation of "Personal Secretary" to the Managing Director.
