Have a family member who is interested in a talent acquisition position. The position is listed as an HRGeneralist. They will be required to travel three times a week and all travel costs they must pay up front and be reimbursed from the company. Travel can be any state within the United States. The pay is listed as $65,000. I believe the pay is too low for this type of positions. Am I wrong?

Seems low to me, but I guess it might not be that bad depending on location. The travel part would be the sticking point for me. If you're traveling that often, I'd expect you to get a company card, not have to pay out of pocket.

The pay seems reasonable but I agree with M1. Paying out-of-pocket for that frequent travel seems unusual and almost a little bit suspicious. That could potentially be thousands of dollars at a time that would need to be paid out-of-pocket and reimbursed.

Pay is too low. 65 may be a starting point and dependent on experience, education, etc. it can go higher. Is there a salary band or does the job role state that the salary is $65,000? Does it list it as base pay, target or full salary?

$65k seems about right for a general HR position starting out, but there are other considerations for sure. The salary might seem low, but other factors might make up for the base. Are all travel costs reimbursed such as meals and incidentals or is there a daily per diem allotment ? Does the company provide rental in addition to airfare and hotel bills? Is there a company credit card? How fast is the turn around for reimbursements? Does the company good health insurance, with all of the travel, they're bound to get sick on the road. What about when the person is at home, do they have to go into an office routinely or is there down time between trips? Weekend travel? Overtime available?

If you have an employee that requires travel in their job, they shouldn’t get reimbursed, you should have a card that everything can go on some sort of travel card for your company or the company.
Usually, if your salary meaning 65K a year, you don’t get overtime.
