Recently I went for an interview for the post of HR Generalist. I had handled various HR functions like Recruitment, Induction, PMS, Retention, C & B, etc. In C&B, I was incharge of preparing salary slips, which were forwarded to the cashier for salary checks. This organization's director hounded me with questions about various labour & taxation laws. I had very limited idea about it. These were handled by the Personnel Department in our company or took care of the Corporate HR & IR.
Isn't it true to be said that statutory compliances and labour law are more a part of IR than HR. Am I correct or please enlighten me? Should I learn such laws that will better my chance?

Hello. Kindly try to differentiate between C & B and payroll. These two are two different functions. It seems that you are working in payroll department as you mentioned “I was in-charge of preparing salary slips, which were forwarded to the cashier for salary checks”. Preparing pay-slips is not a role of C & B. If you have mentioned in resume that you have experience of working in C & B, then the other individual can ask you questions related to Income Tax, Different provisions in income tax; Exemptions in Income Tax; Gratuity Act; PF Act; Minimum Wage Act etc. All these are related to C & B.

Hence, the problem is not with you or the interviewer…the problem is with your resume…with your presentation and with your understanding to various concepts.

I hope this will give you some knowledge.

Thanks and Regards

Dear Mindforge,

HR --------- Human Resource

IR ---------- Industrial Relations.

The various activities involves under the HR & IR depends upon the business into which the Industry is operating.

Any industry requires three "M" i.e MAN, MACHINE, MATERIAL.

HR function is related to MAN. The activities of the HR is to help the industry to get the right person for the right job, retain them and to get the best from them, so that Employee also grows along with the industry.

Thus the major HR job functions concentrate on recruitment, selection, deployment, appraisals, rewards & punishments, training, teamwork, leadership, motivational programmes, Employees satisfaction level etc.


IR function is basically the act as a bridge which helps in building the relation among......

1. Employer............Employee
2. Employee...........Employee

Thus the major job responsisbilties involves any to eradicate any conflict prone issues between them by means of discussions ( with employee, workers Committee, Trade Union etc.), taking disciplinary action under the labour laws.
