I kept track of the employees vacation time, sick time, anniversary dates, salary increases, etc. I wrote job descriptions, wrote help wanted advertising, interviewed people, hired people. I gave out performance evaluations, warnings, and terminated employees for poor performance. I managed the health insurance contract, and assisted the employees with signing up for various benefits. I also arranged the meetings for the 401k enrollment and advised employees regarding all their benefits.
The help manage the "human capital" of a company. In simple terms they develop the human resources polices, the training requirements, the formal or informal performance reviews as well as manage the hiring and firing of staff members.
Sure. A human resources manager oversees hiring and maintenance of employees and their records. That's the basics. They may have additional duties, such as directing employees to information about benefits, compensation and services as well, depending on the company.
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for.
