Key Responsibilities

- Conduct reference checks, prepare offer letters, and manage candidate communication through to onboarding.
Payroll Coordination

- Prepare monthly payroll input sheets (variable pay, commissions, deductions, reimbursements) and share with accounts teams in Bangalore and Dubai for processing and disbursement.
- Coordinate with accountants on statutory compliance (PF, ESI, PT, TDS in India; WPS in UAE) and ensure timely filings.
- Manage payroll-related employee queries and resolve discrepancies.
Onboarding & Offboarding
- Manage end-to-end onboarding: documentation, system access, induction scheduling, and orientation.
- Coordinate UAE visa, labour card, Emirates ID, and medical processes through our PRO services vendor for Dubai hires.
- Handle exit formalities including clearance, full and final settlement coordination, and exit interviews.
SOP Development & Process Documentation
- Coordinate between employees and the operations team to develop, document, and roll out Standard
Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all functions across both offices.
- Interview employees to capture how work is actually done, structure that knowledge into clear SOPs with the operations team, and maintain a central repository.

Staff Welfare & Engagement
- Plan and execute employee engagement activities, birthday and work-anniversary recognition, festival celebrations, and offsites across both offices.
- Manage health insurance renewals and claims coordination for India and UAE employees.
- Act as the first point of contact for employee grievances — resolve routine matters and escalate significant issues to leadership.
HRMS & Reporting
- Own the HRMS platform (Keka / Zoho People / equivalent) — data entry, configuration, employee self-service, and reporting.
- Prepare monthly HR MIS reports for leadership: headcount, attrition, hiring pipeline, payroll summary.
Candidate Requirements

- 2–4 years of hands-on HR generalist experience, preferably in an SME or mid-sized company (not exclusively in a recruitment agency).

- Bachelor's degree in HR, Business Administration, Commerce, or related field. MBA-HR is a plus but not mandatory.
