Confused About Designations in LLPs? Seeking Advice on Setting Up HR Functions

Hi,

I am an HR professional. I recently joined an LLP. I was told that LLPs cannot use certain designations like Manager, Senior Manager, etc., for their employees. Can anyone please help me out with the same? Also, I am responsible for setting up the entire HR function. Any points to keep in mind would be a real help.

Thanks

Dear Saibadh, if you refer to Wikipedia for the Limited Liability Partnership Act 2008, you will find that there is no reference to the designation as such. Secondly, whether it is an LLP, Limited Company, or Private Limited Company, Indian laws do not address designations at the level of Managers. Designations are an internal matter of your company. It seems that yours is a Multinational Corporation (MNC). Therefore, your management could be following the rules prevailing in the country where their Head Office is located.

Thanks,
