HR Functions In An Organisation Apart From Payroll

Dear all,
I just joined in an organisation size 500-700 employees. I am handling pre hiring and post hiring process like taking joining formalities, document verification, CTC preparation, taking approvals....etc. Also handling part of admin activities like bill processing...Please guide me what are the other functions in HR apart from payroll. And also guide me which flat form is the best to make my career in HR.

Hi Lavanya
Apart form Recruitment you shall try employee engagement, T & D, Appraisal, Statutory & Compliance, retention process etc

The company application (template available)to be given and filled up by all the new entrants.All the qualification originals to be verified with xerox including TC(Most important).Antecedent verification must and health report is important(at least self declaration).Induction schedule to be made .A booklet about the safety regulations and HR policy(leave/benefits/insurance/medical/misconducts etc)to made known in a short period.
Statutory matters like PF/ E SIC etc to be seen.In brief a
Good communication oral as well as written to be given
to all the new entrants to make him part of the organisation and Team member of his section/department.
First impression is the best impression and this can
created and maintained only
by HR contribution to it.

Organization which engage 500-700 employees are medium scale companies. And for running the show such organization hire only professionally qualified person specially in HR.
If you are simply +2 or graduate then your question seems to logical otherwise back to books for getting elementary idea on "functions of HR function in the business".

Dear Mr.Gaurav,
Firstly thanks for ur response.....and secondly either u must have replied in frustration or may be it reflects ur nature.understand that 12th/degree candidates will not be recruited as HR personnel in mid level organisations.Its strategy that freshers are being hired and trained n extract work .It is beneficial to both the parties.I have not asked for elementary ideas on HR Functions. as it s professional site expected professional ans. but to my shock I got a contradicting reply.
Next time plz guide if you know but pls dnt gve the ideas to refer books....there is lot of differece between theoritical knowledge and practical knowledge.
with regards

Dear Ms. Lavanya
As you mentioned as there are lots of difference between the practical & theoretical knowledge, I do agree for that. More over there are plenty of discussions in this blog for each & every topic. If time permits surf through those topics & still if you have any queries then do post those in specific to get detailed information

HR divided into 2 positions in every company :
1) HR Admin will take care about the People Records, Payroll, Time & Attendance, Leave Management, Statutory Compliance, Company Policies, etc.,
2) HR Talent Management will take care RECRUITMENT, PROJECT & TASK Management, Training, Appraisals, Exit / Retirement;
My suggestion is that, please take the online HRMS tool like kolme (for more details visit www.kolme.in); Will guide you for complete HR Management.

I agree with Mr.Jeeva rathnam and also you can learn & implement a new vertical,but your roles should not be limited for your organization.Ex-You can implement a Balanced Score card system for Appraisal,but none the less happen without your Hr Mgr/Head approval.Its better to sit with your superior and learn from him.Your Head/Mgr is the good resource for you.All the best.
