Hello Team, We need to give a designation to one of our office boys (peon) who has been performing base level admin. Activities since two years like filing, record keeping, maintaining petty cash, cab booking etc. We need to do this without increasing the salary or unskilled grade.
Can you please advice a designation which we can give and which gives him a future career path also as he intends to study further also.

The activities you mention when clubbed point that the role is that of Admin Assistant; this is definitely not unskilled profile. You will have to consider him at highest skill level as per state skill hierarchy as he is maintaining petty cash besides performing 2-3 more activities. Whether you like it or not, if don't pay wages meant for highest skill level, you will continue to deprive minimum wages payment to him / her. Non payment of minimum wages as per skill level is frowned upon by all, including courts. Need to be careful there.

Dear Madam,
I share same views that of Mr.Shrikant's. When someone is doing multi-tasking jobs , to think of denying him due wages and skill level that too by HR person is against the sense of propriety and legality.

Dear Geeta,
Your Management has been doing injustice to the poor employee by utilising his knowledge and asking him to do clerical job for last 2 years. Instead of appreciating and or motivating him by compensating the clerical MW, the management is paying him un-skilled category wages.
Now suddenly you felt to seek advise from the members after 2 years about the designation is only to safeguard your company from legal consequences.
You can propose Assistant designation by compensating Semi-skilled wages which will help him for his further studies and he will remain loyal to your organisation as long as he serves.
Excuse me for my views and if hurt anyone's feelings.

All of you have been a great help. Thanks a lot !!

Geeta,
If the Management is Positive and supporting the employee hence suggest you go for " ASSOCIATE - ADMN" instead of Helper / un / Semi / Highly worker , once he acquires required qualification you can change his designation to Officer / Executive etc.,

Dear Geeta,
This is a matter of appreciation that you recognised one's skill and want to promote. Always try to give a position that can match with the present qualifiaction and job. Since the concerned is an HSC pass, the designation of 'office attendant' would be appropriate and fall under USK category.
