Local support staff salary

[MovingIn07]

Can anyone tell me what a reasonable salary (or salary range) is for a support staff role in a small (say 10 person) company? I'm in interested in two roles:

1. Office manager - who manages all the admin in the office, including the lease, filing, invoicing, organising staff etc etc (reasonably responsible role, self motivated)

2. Minimalist support staff - receptionist, filing, tidying up

Both would be local and bilingual.

Any views much appreciated.

I would go for something like:

1) HK$ 25k per month
2) HK$ 8k per month

An alternative would be to use an agency as a first step. I might want to consider paying more if they are good and if their English is truely fluent.

Thanks for the insights. I am looking for specific numbers for a specific reason (which I'd prefer not to discuss in a public forum, just in case any of my staff are on here!) but if anyone has insight that they prefer not to post publicly, I'd appreciate a PM. I already got one with very useful info (thanks - you know who you are!).

Not exactly OM and receptionist jobs, but these are the salary updates from personnel agencies: http://www.careertimes.com.hk/englis...industryid=010

I think hullexile's numbers are about right. I think the second perhaps could be a bit higher if their English is really good (in fact it might be a bit tricky to fill because people with really fluent English tend to be graduates and can probably do better than that).
