What to look for in a HR Manager
- Ask which dealership pay plans they have administered: commission, flat rate and draws.
- Ask them to walk you through an investigation, from complaint to close.
- Ask which HR and payroll systems they have run.
- Ask how they work with managers who see HR as paperwork.
How the pay plan usually works
HR managers are usually paid a salary, sometimes with a bonus tied to retention or group goals.
