The head of the company wants me to set up a proper HR system in his Organisation with separate divison for payroll management (the same will be taken care by accounts department), the role is quite challenging for me and I want your help in knowing how to start for the same.

Step 3 - Defining Organisation structure with departmental and individual’s job responsibilities

Step 4 - Leave management system (how to start for that?)

Step 7 - Employee grievance handling

Step 8 - Company’s Legal issues and legal documents

Step 9 - Performance Appraisal System

Step 10 - Employee hand book ( It will contain company’s policies, norms, regulations and general conduct within an Organization)

Step 11 - Recruitment and selection process

Step 12 - Training and development

Step 13 - Future Strategies for achieving company and individualistic goals

Please guide me if I am going in right direction, also add or delete any steps required.

Documentation of employee record - personal & professional details (both soft & hard copies)

Creation of Organizational policies & procedures, planning, budgeting

Hi,

In addition, I would suggest going for an automated HR system (if you can get approval from your concerned authority), which would make your work easier and more streamlined. As it seems from your post that you are the only person in the HR department. Also, in the case of each policy creation, coordinate with seniors.

Hi Nihad,

I am CA Vinay Jain, a partner at J R T Jain & Co., with our office in India. We also provide HR services to many small companies.

I would suggest that you take care of the following aspects in HR management, in addition to what you have mentioned:

1. The appointment letter should clearly outline the terms and conditions of the company from its inception. If you need a sample, please contact us using the email ID or contact number provided below.

2. It is essential to have a well-defined final settlement procedure in place, which will benefit your company in the long run and help minimize conflicts.

3. Avoid investing in any HR software unless you are completely familiar and comfortable with its functions and features.

4. Establish a procedure for reimbursing employee expenses related to official work, including monthly reimbursements approved by the company.

For any queries or further details, please feel free to reach out to us at jrtjain@gmail.com or on +91 9975619011.

dear mr nahid

super keep it up

some recommendations

Step 1 – To maintain all employee records (excel format)[ WHAT DO YOU EXPECT IN RECORDS PUT IT IN A LIST]

Step 2 – To maintain each employee’s personnel file (scanned copies & hard copies) [ DECIDE THE CONTENTS OF PERSONAL FILE FROM APPLICATION FOR JOB TO END OF CAREER . DO NOT INCLUDE CASH CLAIMS OF SORTS]

Step 3 - Defining Organisation structure with departmental and individual’s job responsibilities [ THIS BECOMES STEP 1(ONE) AND NOT STEP 3

Step 4 - Leave management system (how to start for that?)[ WILL DISCUSS NEXT SESSION. WILL GIVE YOU LOT OF INPUTS

Step 7 - Employee grievance handling [ NOT NOW . THIS WILL GO TO A SEPARATE TOPIC NOT WITH EACH PERSON . ONE GRIEVANCE MAY APPLY TO MANY PEOPLE . KEEP IT ON HOLD FOR NOW]

Step 8 - Company’s Legal issues and legal documents [ DEAL WITH PEOPLE FIRST AND THEN THE ORGANISATION . LEGAL AFFAIRS ARE NOT EVERYDAY JOB . COOL FOR THE BEGINNING]

Step 9 - Performance Appraisal System [ SHOULD BE PRIORITY 2/3 AND MUST OCCUR CONCURRENTLY ]

Step 10 - Employee hand book ( It will contain company’s policies, norms, regulations and general conduct within an Organization) [ COOOOOOOOL COOOOOOL TWO YEARS LATER NOT NOW . ]

Step 11 - Recruitment and selection process [ HGHER PRIORITY AND CONCURRENT WORK ]

Step 12 - Training and development [ MOST IMPORTANT AND IS A PRODUCT OF PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL ]

Step 13 - Future Strategies for achieving company and individualistic goals. [ IF YOU DO EVERYTHING TODAY ONLY WHAT WILL YOU DO IN 2016. LET YOUR TOP BRASS HANDLE IT OR TELL THEM TO MAKE YOU A TOP BRASS IN HRM .

i am available in .

all my assistance is free and you can rely on my 50 years experience to assist you and your orgainsation
