Guidelines for Setting Up a New HR Department: Organizing Employee Data, Payroll System, and Legal C

Good evening to everyone.

Recently, my company (almost 200 people) has decided to create a new HR department. I will be responsible for this action, and I need your support. How can I start with that because it looks chaotic? Could you give me any advice or guidelines?

Thank you in advance!

What is the existing setup for managing people? What are your qualifications from an HR perspective? Setting up HR involves creating numerous records. Commencing with the employee's details such as name, date of joining, age, pay scale, etc. Legal compliance is imperative as per the laws of the nation/state where your company is established. What may seem chaotic presently will be resolved. Initiate with organizing all employees' data. Subsequently, determine the necessities for establishing a payroll system through automation. Proceed gradually, one step at a time. Feel free to provide additional details for other members to comment.
