Who Signs Promotion Papers for a Solo HR Employee? Let's Discuss the Dilemma

Hi,

If any employee is receiving an increment or promotion, their documents are signed by the HR department. However, if an HR staff member is getting an increment or promotion, or any document pertaining to them, and they are the sole individual in the HR department, would they be the one to sign off on their own documents?

Hi,

If you are the only HR in your company, then your increment letter would be signed by your company owner or anyone senior in the management department.

Hi Shweta,

It is not mandatory that only an HR representative can authorize an increment or promotion letter. The letter can be signed by anyone authorized by the company to approve such transactions. For example, if your HR department is under the Finance head, then the Finance head's signature on behalf of the company should suffice on the letter. This is true even if the Finance head is not a member of the HR department.

Hi,

You may get it signed by the person whom you report to during your day-to-day operations or an authorized signatory of official documents.

Thanks and Regards
