Hi,
No, administrative work is not involved in HR; it is a completely different department or support staff, as you can tell. However, if the firm is small, then due to a limited budget or fewer resources, it is taken care of by the same individual. Ideally, it should be separated as the nature of the job is so different, and the people you interact with in both areas are very different.

Hi Jyothi,
It all depends upon the company's employee strength. If anyone handles a dual position, then I hope there are no different departments for HR or Admin in that company. So obviously, the workload is less for HR/admin activities separately. Once the company grows, there would surely be different positions under both departments.
Am I sounding right?

Dear Friend,
I agree with Atomleaf. If there is no separate department, then the tasks you have mentioned shall be handled by the HR department. It is not always possible to differentiate HR and Admin activities unless everything is pointed out in the HR manual.

Hi Jyoti,
HR describes the activities of finding the right person for the right job, whereas Admin relates to housekeeping and attending to daily issues of employees related to office maintenance. Hence, even though it's a small concern, you need to have a separate person for Admin so that you can contribute more to HR. Am I right? 😏

Hey all!
HR and Admin usually go hand in hand; however, they are separate functions. Usually, HR formulates the policies, whereas Admin is responsible for implementing them. As suggested earlier, it all depends on the size of the company. Due to budget constraints, the HR department may have to handle Admin duties as well.

Hi Guys,
Theoretically, HR and Admin are different departments. As said by Sushma, company size and budget matter most. For example, when I joined my company 5 years ago, I was appointed as an HR Executive who looked after administrative and facilities management, recruitment, policy, employee welfare activities, conducting meetings, payroll, and compensation. Initially, the company had a strength of 15 employees. Now, our company's strength has increased to 250, with the Admin Department consisting of 10 members and the HR Department of 4 members.
