Hi Seniors, I have joined an animation company and there is no HR department here. There are about 55- 60 employees working. I need to know how do I start about it. Thanks

Hi,

Since there are already 55-60 employees, you should first check if all the statutory requirements, such as ESI, EPF, and Shops & Commercial Establishment Acts, have been complied with.

After ensuring compliance, focus on formulating employee personnel files and reviewing the implemented policies. If necessary, develop new policies gradually.

Next, initiate training and development programs and employee engagement activities.

You can proceed further with other HR initiatives later on.

Hi Jeevarathnam,

Thanks for your reply. They do not have PF, ESIC, etc. Only TDS is being deducted. Personnel employee files are maintained. Timings are 10-7 with 6 working days. I would like to know if there is any rule that specifies the working hours per day/per week. Also, the salary date is the 15th, so I would like to know if there is any government policy regarding payment schedules.

Thanks in advance.

PT, PF, & ESI are mandatory. It is better to initiate the registration process immediately.

It is advisable to check whether it has been registered under the Shops and Commercial Establishment Act.

May I know in which state it is located?

The timing of 10-7 and 6 days a week is acceptable, but employees should get a 1-hour break in between.

Salaries shall be paid on or before the 7th, and they vary from state to state.
