Setting Up the HR Department in a Startup

I have joined a startup company and have experience only in the recruitment field. I am blank as I do not have any experience in core HR, and I am supposed to work on it myself as there is no one to guide me. I want to know what the basic needs are for a startup company with respect to the HR department. I have gathered some information mentioned below and need your help in setting up the HR department:

- Letter of intent
- Offer letter
- Appointment letter format with ALL CLAUSES
- Cancellation of offer letter
- Welcome letter formats for new joinees
- Increment letter format
- Termination letter
- Employee information sheet format
- Monthly/daily attendance maintenance format and also monthly payroll calculation format in an Excel sheet
- The process of post-recruitment

Apart from the above, what are the other things that are supposed to be in place in the HR department of a startup company?

This is definitely a very good opportunity for you to learn and perform—something not many get during their initial career stages.

Priority List and Initial Steps

First and foremost, make a priority list of what you and your company want to have in place. For this, you will need to have a few extended sessions with your boss (I presume it's the MD, since you mentioned it's a start-up).

Utilizing Resources

Next, please make full use of the research facility at the top of this page in this excellent forum. You are sure to get many inputs you need.

In case you need any specific input or have any specific queries, please feel free to post it—the chances of getting focused suggestions/inputs are much higher that way.

All the best.

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I am asked to prepare the required formats first. We have to recruit sales executives and a sales manager, and I need to create the necessary documents for recruiting employees. In fact, I have not received my appointment letter.

Documents Needed for Recruiting Employees

What are the documents needed while recruiting employees? Please help me in this regard.
