Hello Seniors, I have recently joined a new Public Ltd company. During the interview, it was mentioned to me that my responsibilities would include legal compliance and document maintenance. However, in the appointment letter, my profile is listed as Personnel Executive. I am tasked with legal compliance, salary and wage administration, recruitment, housekeeping and security, general communication, as well as performance appraisal and increment processes.
Please share your suggestions.
Thanks in advance

A while ago, I met a Manager whose card simply said "Manager," even though he was managing the whole of India for his company. The point is, designations need not be fully descriptive or very accurate. If your job role aligns with what you can do and what was offered, the company has likely given you a designation that fits within their existing naming structure. That's all.

Your appointment has been made based on certain assumptions that should have been expressly stated. Mere "compliance" related to labor/employment laws cannot be a full-time function, regardless of the size of the organization. Nor would a professional be satisfied doing this exclusively all the time. In any case, one cannot build a career solely on this area of sharp but limited focus.
If it had been clearly communicated that your employment profile would emphasize "compliance," meaning that in addition to compliance responsibilities, you would also have to function as a Personnel (HR) executive (or by any other title), there would be no confusion for anyone.
If my interpretation is incorrect, kindly provide me with detailed information regarding the employment interviews/discussions so that I may better understand your situation and respond accordingly if necessary. However, I believe my interpretation is accurate.
Would you like to respond, please?

Yes, Mr. Samvedan, your inference is correct. I am just concerned about the difference in the job profile (Personnel Executive) and the job description (salary & wage administration, recruitment, housekeeping & security, general communication, performance appraisal & increment). Please guide me.
Thanks.
