Can anyone tell me if HR Administrator and HR Executive are the same designation? Or does it differ depending on the organization? I am currently working in a small-scale private company in the service sector. So, is my role HR Admin or HR Executive?

Hi, Administration & HR are two different departments in an organisation. If you are looking after Admin & HR, then you may be called as "Executive - HR & Admin".

Many people will say that in big firms, HR and admin are different. In general, this is true, but let me quote an example. Mr. S.Y. Siddiqui was the GM of HR and Admin at Maruti Udyog before being promoted to COO.
For the thread poster, you may be acting as an Admin-HR executive, but please refer to your offer letter to see what is stated there.

Hi, Can you share your roles and responsibilities of the job? Not able to provide any objective comment just by job titles. Regards Autumn Jane

When an HR Executive is authorized special access rights to the employee database and is empowered to amend or modify the data fields, he or she gets the designation of 'HR Administrator'. This is applicable only to an automated HR environment. These rights are not given to anyone else since ensuring data integrity is a vital parameter. The HR Administrator in such cases may also have the rights to initiate activities such as goal setting, appraisals, etc.
This reply is to enable an understanding of the special roles assigned to HR Executives. Another such role is that of 'HR Analyst'.

I am currently looking into payroll, statutory compliance, recruiting, and performance analysis. Can you please advise me on whether my role should be HR Administrator or HR Executive? I would appreciate clear guidance on this matter.
Thank you.

Understanding the Role of an HR Executive
Your role is HR EXECUTIVE.
- Recruitment, performance analysis, and payroll are the responsibilities of an HR professional. It is an added advantage for HR professionals to have experience in statutory compliance. Most organizations consult their lawyer to sort out issues pertaining to it.
- In some organizations, payroll is managed by either the finance or administration department.
- In larger organizations, statutory compliance is handled by the administrative officer.

If you are managing all these functions in a fully automated HR environment and have singularly been assigned the rights to enter or modify data connected with these functions, you are in the role of an 'HR Administrator'. Otherwise, in a manual or semi-automated state, it is the role of an 'HR Executive' to manage these processes in any organization.
