Dear Juliana,
Initially you need to collect all the details abt the employees, so start creating forms and ask employees to fil it up and you start keeping seperate folders, Let that be the first step. Once you prepare all that, you will know what next....
Also start adding their datas in excel sheets...
Lemme comment on this later..

Hi..
After the folders for every individual is set...( folder must consist of employee's profile, any appraisal conducted for them, any training scores,payroll account number ,Leave cards, monthly payslips etc...)
Ensure you have attendence records, common time in & time out.
Movement Register
Expense Claim forms
Reimbursements
Before all this..your company policy & manuls need to be set & this will be done based on company values, mottos etc..I cant give you a format as such as it is Company Specific.
As & when i get ideas i will shoot them too you...

thank you all for the replies.
right now we dont have any hr policeies in place nor do we have any employee manuals or anything. the only hr policy we have is payroll which is being done by the accountants. the staff is not even aware of the leave policy. so basically everything has to be designed from scratch. so i am going to need all the help i can get.
thank you

-discuss with CEO, the organization's corporate objectives/strategies
and how HR can contribute to the corporate objectives.
-discuss / seek concensus on organization structure / management
process.

-discuss with CEO/senior management the core activities/competences
and business drivers of the organization.
TO GET A GOOD START AND HOLD YOUR CREDIBILITY, YOU NEED
THESE INFORMATIONS TO START YOUR WORK ON HR DEPT.
HR dept. is a support unit and hence must work closely
with other depts.
================================================== =========
STEP 2
Even though there is currently no HR department, there are
a number of HR activities are being carried out now.
YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE / HOW IT IS BEING
CARRIED OUT / BY WHOM.
TO COLLECT AND CONSOLIDATE THESE, YOU NEED TO A
QUICK HR AUDIT OF THE PRESENT SITUATION.
-you can use an audit format, as shown below[ modify it
to suit your need]. You don't need to spend too much time
but enough to be sensitive of the current situations.
AFTER you gather all the informations and summarized,
you should sit down with your boss [ CEO] and discuss
and prioritize the items, as follows
-URGENT / IMPORTANT
-URGENT/ NOT IMPORTANT
-NOT URGENT/ IMPORTANT
-NOT URGENT / NOT IMPORTANT , BUT NEEDED DOWN THE LINE.
================================================== ========
STEP 3
Please REVIEW the HR MANUAL , as listed below.
Pick eyes out of it , as per your need, based on your
discussion / audit results.
You may want to start up with
HR department OBJECTIVES.
HR DEPARTMENT STRATEGIES
-Draft on Recruitment / Selection Procedure
-Draft on organization / structure
-Draft on jobs' analyses/ job descriptions/ job specifications/competences
-Draft on payroll / compensation / adminstration
-Appointment /confirmation / Termination / resignation
-induction program
-orientation program
-Employee communications
-Training & development of the employees
-Performance Appraisals / management
etc etc,
Once you have the preliminary draft ready, you can start with your
EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK [ LIST PROVIDED BELOW]
================================================== ======
Being a small operation of 50 employees, the whole set up should not
take more than 6/ weeks. But this is subject to cooperation / your style
of work management etc.
