Payroll
Payroll is usually an essential element of any HR department, regardless of the
organization's size. HR duties related to payroll may include gathering of
employee information for payment and tax purposes, adjusting employee pay
for taxes and other withholding, and creating and issuing paychecks or direct
deposits. Even when issuing checks or creating direct deposits for employment
payment is outsourced or contracted, HR personnel are often responsible for
gathering this information and delivering it to the business contracted to
deliver employee payment.

Duties related to administration of benefits may include tracking vacation and
sick time, processing paperwork related to leave requests, and gathering and
processing employee information in relation to health insurance and
retirement benefits deliver employee payment.
Legal Compliance
For many employers, an invaluable element of human resources is the
responsibility of HR departments to keep the organization in compliance with
legislation that affects the workplace. HR departments are often responsible
for informing employees of the federal and state rights as related to
employment, such as the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA) regulations, Equal Opportunity Employment
legislation and other legislation that affects employees. HR departments are
also tasked with documentation related to employment legislation, including
processing employee claims.
Personnel
Many duties related to personnel, including hiring, firing and performance
evaluation actions, are among the key elements of HR departments. HR
managers and/or employees are often involved in every step of an employee's
tenure with an organization, from processing and tracking documents related
to new hires, to employee performance evaluations, to employee disciplinary
procedures, and to the firing of employees. In many cases, HR is responsible
for keeping personnel files that document these employment actions.

HR Checklist:
This is viewed as the "personal and professional closure." The employer and
employee accomplish proper closure with a face-to-face exit interview. An exit
interview is generally conducted by impartial persons such as an HR manager
or a senior leader of the organization. The idea is that employee should tend to
be more forthright than disagreeable. Some organizations engage a third party
to conduct such interviews and provide honest feedback.
In exit interviews, the interviewer has to listen more than talk and provide time
and space to the employee to answer as they may be nervous. Ensure a
meeting room is blocked and no interruptions occur during the process. The
interviewer may reassure to the employee to speak up and not feel
threatened. He should interpret, reflect and understand what employee is
saying. The interviewer should resist from countering the employee. The idea
is to draw inputs and feedback.Exit interview process and questions may vary
depending on voluntary or involuntary attrition. Voluntary attrition is where
employee wishes to discontinue service with the organization but the
organization wants to retain such employees.
The Who and Where part of the questions can be explained as follows:
Academy is the centre where the training would take place. The organization
has to first decide whether the training will be conducted by the in-house
trainers or it will be outsourced to vendors who have expertise in the required
training subject.
Once this is decided, the organization identifies a place for the Training
Academy where the training would take place. Training Academy is either
situated in the existing part of the organizations premises or a low cost area
where the cost of land is relatively cheap. Organizations set up the Training
Academy in the existing premises because it saves them any additional cost
and makes it easier to make resources available to the candidates.
Sometimes, the organization is reluctant to use its office space to avoid any
administrative issues, maintain safety, and avoid information leakage about
their products or schemes etc. These issues may arise due to having candidates
inside the premise, who are yet not the organizations employees. Therefore,
the Training Academy is set up outside the company premises.
When the academy is to be set up in another location, then a low cost area is
identified where the cost of land is relatively cheap. When the Train to Hire
process is outsourced fully or partly to a vendor, the centre could be
provided or arranged for by the vendor. This saves the organization any
administrative burdens. The other reason could be that the organization is
looking at the academy as a separate business venture.
