A HR Generalist is a kind of Admin and is responsible for overseeing salary, PF-ESI, personal files, all types of billing, and attendance as well. They are the main person responsible for managing CL, EL, and all leave statuses, issuing identity cards and other goods and facilities to employees for records and MIS, and also assisting in recruitment if needed. This is a very responsible position.
