Hi Shobana,

I have recently joined a software firm which has 17 employees in total. The firm has a completely new setup. I'm new to the HR world and I feel totally lost sometimes. I want to know how to go about doing things and what I shouldn't do. It would be really great if I could have a mentor or someone to guide me.

Hope you can help me.

Kalpana

Hi Shobhna,

Good to hear from you! Work is going great. I will just add you on Gmail. I'm learning the HR process slowly, but I am somehow getting there. CITE HR is always helpful to me. This site has been of great help. Hope you are doing well.

Hi Shobana, Jayavel, and Sanjay,

I have recently joined a software company that has 100+ employees in total. My senior HR is on maternity leave. She didn't clearly explain the HR processes to me. I'm new to the HR world and I sometimes feel totally lost. I want to know how to proceed with tasks and what I should avoid doing. It would be great to have a mentor or someone to guide me. I hope you can help me.

Hi Shobana, I would like to introduce myself as Keshava. I am joining as a Manager HR in a company, so I am attending an interview within this week. Please, can you guide me on what are all the possible interview questions and what activities are involved in day-to-day administration? The main thing I want to know is information about PF & ESI, how to calculate the compensation package, including the salary breakup for, say, Rs. 10,000 per month, and at what percentage the PF, ESI, and Tax are calculated?

Please guide me. Take care, have a good day!

Warm regards, Keshava
