Hi Alankrita,
This will depend on lots of factors like-
1) How old is your organization?
2) If it has any policies in general?
3) How many people are working in the organization?
4) If you have just one office or there are offices at multiple locations?
5) What is the nature of your business?
6) Which act do you fall under? Factories Act, Mines Act, Shops & Establishment Act, etc.
In general if I have to say, I can advice you foll to set up the HR Department (myself having gone through the same process)
1. Study the company's services, offering, employment details first.
2. Understand the normal policies followed by the company and than formalize it or if at all there are some modifications to be introduced, suggest the same to supervisor and seek the approval.
3. Document the policies so that you can draft the HR Manual / Employee Handbook which includes -
...a) Office Timing and company's expectation
...b) Recruitment Policy - Employee Referrals, Job portals, promotions, etc
...c) Induction and Probation policy
...d) Separation Policy - Resignation, Termination, Absconding, Retirement etc and notice period for all
...e) Rehire Policy
...f) Late coming policy
...g) Leaves and Absenteeism Policy
...h) Performance Management and Appraisal Policy
...i) Succession Planning Policy
...j) Working Ethics and Etiquettes
...k) Non-smoking policy
You can add the list depending on the requirement.
