New to HR Admin in a Startup: What Essential Activities Should I Focus On First?

Hi all, I am working in an IT company as an admin, and I was asked to take care of HR admin activities. I have no experience in this field, and the company has recently started.

Understanding HR Admin Activities

What would be the HR admin activities? There is no particular format for employees regarding their attendance, leaves, etc. It's just like a starting company.

Initial HR Admin Activities to Implement

What would be my initial HR admin activities to start up, and what are the things I should start implementing? Please help me.
