Hi Alankrita,
This will depend on several factors, such as:
1. How old is your organization?
2. Does it have any existing policies?
3. How many people are working in the organization?
4. Is there just one office, or are there 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, I can advise you on setting up the HR Department (having gone through the same process myself):
1. Study the company's services, offerings, and employment details first.
2. Understand the normal policies followed by the company, then formalize them. If any modifications are needed, suggest them to the supervisor and seek approval.
3. Document the policies so you can draft the HR Manual/Employee Handbook, which includes:
- Office Timing and company's expectations
- Recruitment Policy - Employee Referrals, Job portals, promotions, etc.
- Induction and Probation policy
- Separation Policy - Resignation, Termination, Absconding, Retirement, etc., and notice period for all
- Rehire Policy
- Late coming policy
- Leaves and Absenteeism Policy
- Performance Management and Appraisal Policy
- Succession Planning Policy
- Working Ethics and Etiquettes
- Non-smoking policy
You can add to the list depending on the requirements.
