My observations about HR Operations in USHODAYA PUBLICATIONS

If we observe, in general, there is a process that will be going on in everything we see. From a simple
manufacturing a pen or running an organization. So as for HR. Employee Management is a process which
is a step by step procedure that is followed when an employee joined in the organization till he leaves.
Hence this is the process I have observed in USHODAYA PUBLICATIONS.

HR LIFE CYCLE IN USHODAYA PUBLICATIONS

This clearly states that no individual function in Employee Service Matters is independent. It ends when an
employee has left the organization and starts again when a new employee joined.

A Report on HR Practices and Procedures – Ushodaya Publications

My Learning from Laws that is applicable to the organization


 Though all the laws that are applicable to the organizations seems to be of nature, they are not.
 The laws related to Social Security and laws related to employees are brought into existence to
safe guard the interests of the workers. They were intended to create a safe working environment .
 Likewise, The Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 and The Trade Unions Act, 1926 were intended to
create a safe and Non-Hostile work environment.
 The nature of work in the factory is different from that of a corporate office. Hence, the laws
governing them are different.
 Laws that will cover factories exclusively are intended to create a safer and secured work place
and lesser damage to environment.

an employee on the job one currently holds in order to increase the performance or productivity.
Approaches of Training:

Before going to start the training program we need to prepare Standard operating procedures.
(SOP’s). For that purpose be specific on what aspect you want to train employee’s egg:
Communication, Behavior. We should make sure that we make to fit people in “STAFF SERVICE”
with proper T&D. For this purpose we will divide entire organizational hierarchy into 3 levels.

Training Need Analysis (TNA)

TNA is the process of identifying the gap between employee training and needs of training. Training needs
analysis is the first stage in the training process and involves a procedure to determine whether training will
indeed address the problem which has been identified.360 Degree Approach may be adopted for this purpose.
Components of Training Need Analysis
First step of Training need analysis is to study the “STAFF SERVICE” OF THE ORGANISATION. We have to
make sure that we can make the perfect fit of the employees either, existing or new, in the existing outline.
Then we have to identify the roles and responsibilities. For that we can segregate entire STAFF SERVICE into
3 levels. Managerial, Supervisory and Operational based on designation. Often they are confused with one
another but job role might have broader sense than mere designation. Later we have to identify the
competencies to clearly frame TNA.
 In USHODAYA PUBLICATIONS, Identification of training need (TNA) will be done at Reporting In
charge Level. A predefined Training Discussions will be held in case needed) in case JD is not
clearly known.
 Then Training & Development department will consolidate the entire needs so found out into
Technical & Behavioral Aspects.
 Then plan for the training programs accordingly. Format will be sent to Concerned HOD.
 He has to specify the employee name and areas in which training is needed.
 FGD (Focused Group
2. Design & Development of training
Designing and development of training module can be classified into two categories.
a) Modes of Training
These are the different ways or the means to train the trainees. They can be said as medium of training
procedure.
i) Trainer Led Training:
This is like a normal classroom training where trainer be imparting knowledge to the employees directly,
Via face –to-face interaction.. In general this is done for behavioral skills.
ii) On-The job training:
It is a formal way of training the employees with a motto of “Learning while doing”. Here he will be given
tasks and will be demonstrated on the job floor. This can be the low cost means.
iii) E Learning:
In this sort of training where knowledge is transferred electronically. But due to lack of personal touch
information may not be transferred effectively. Eg: Webnars

27 | P a g e
A Report on HR Practices and Procedures – Ushodaya Publications

Training for New Employees:


● At first training module is prepared for the ease of understanding regarding what are the facets to be
taught and will be given to the trainers.
● Then Training & Development Team will prepare a “TRAINING SCHEDULE” according to the

What I have learnt about HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT


 Human resource Management is an inclusion of concepts such as recruitment, Training,
performance Appraisal.

 For ease of operations, recruitment of the casual labor, apprentice is being handled over to
individual units because local people can understand the needs better.

 After employee on boarding, maintaining the personnel files will be further helpful at the time of
furnishing labor returns, returns to inspector of factories.

 Training is done before the performance appraisal.

 The main reason to providing training to existing employees is to up bring their existing skills as
required by organization.

 This is also done with an intention to bring behavioral change may be related to work, may be
related to knowledge or may be related to behavior.

 As per my observation performance appraisal system used in USHODAYA PUBLICATIONS is


Forced Check List Method.

gratuity will be borne by USHODAYA PUBLICATIONS. It is payable from the amount accumulated in
Group Gratuity Fund (GGF) which will be under a trust.

For the purpose of paying gratuity insurance fund is maintained if any employee died before attaining the
Age of 58 or 5 Years of Service. In USHODAYA PUBLICATIONS we have a Insurance scheme in LIC
(Life Insurance Corporation)
Calculation of amount of gratuity:
At the age of superannuation or resignation:
When an employee has attained the age of 58, gratuity amount will be paid from GGT to the employee
himself. It can be calculated using formula below:

Gratuity Payable = {Last drawn salary*(15/26)*Number of completed years of service}

Incase superannuation or resignation, we will pay the amount directly to the account of the employee.
At the time of death:
If any employee died before attaining the Age of 58 or 5 Years of Service gratuity will be payable using
both Insurance Fund & Gratuity Fund.

Under this scheme, employer will not contribute. With an intention to make the process of paying the
LIC premium easy for the employee we introduced this scheme. A group of employees should in writing
need to submit a requesting letter to deduct the LIC premium amount directly from the salary. But it is
mandatory for all of them to have the policy in same area. . So once they gave us the requesting letter
from that particular month we will deduct the premium amount from salary.
After receiving the letter we will advise accounts department to make payment every month. It is also a
necessity to provide details of premium amount, balance amount and insurance company name etc.
But it is the due responsibility of the policy holder to inform the HR department if total premium is paid. He
should inform in writing as soon as amount is paid because amount once paid in excess cannot be
removed. And also in case LOP any blank payment will not be made.

EMPLOYEE RELATIONS & DISCIPLINARY ACTION PROCEDURE


A disciplinary procedure is a process for dealing with perceived employee misconduct. In USHODAYA
PUBLICATIONS we have our own standards to follow. Any deviation from them will be considered as
misconduct.
a) Omissions & Commissions
HR is related to behavioral aspects of employee in all dimensions. So it is the responsibility of HR to watch
and regulate the behavior of employee. So we need to have a better understanding of all the activities
carried out in our organization to exactly understand what has happened. In this regard, HR needs to have
knowledge on NATURE OF WORK.
Actions that fall under the heading misconduct:

Omissions

Eg: Mispublishing the add,placing one add


instead of another

b) Action taking against the Complaint :


Mode of Complaint:
When the section in charge has found out that particular deviation has happened from the actual work to be
done he will send a report in writing to the HR In charge. HR in charge will pursue the whole issue and send
it to Unit Incharge .They will seek explanation of the concerned person
Unit Incharge will collect all the proofs regarding the issue and send it to the Central HR for further action.
Generally all this process will be done in 1 day.
Preliminary Enquiry:
Then statutory wing will contact Unit Incharge about the issue and might even ask about the facts and figures
in that regard. If employee has admitted his mistakes then he need to submit an explanation letter stating
what has actually happened and he won’t repeat it again. Sometimes he might be asked to resign.
Enquiry incase of having alcohol /attending duty after having alcohol:
Every day before entering into factory premise an employee there will be a breathe analyzer test. If he found
to be alcoholic, he will not be allowed to the duty. Likewise if anyone has observed a alcoholic person at
work he should inform to HR.

86 | P a g e
A Report on HR Practices and Procedures – Ushodaya Publications

Issuance of Charge Sheet, Show cause notice:


When an employee has not admitted his mistake based on the severity and as per Industrial Standing
Orders we will issue a charge sheet, in other way called as show cause notice. If not we will send the
warning letter saying not to repeat the mistake.
Within 2 days of issue of the charge sheet employee need to present himself in prescribed manner in
prescribed place. But this will not include Week Off and Public Holiday Charge sheet is valid from the date
of issue not from the date of receipt. But in case of severe offence we can directly suspend with a show-
cause notice.
Show cause notice can also be issued by post. In case of non receipt it will returned back to the address
mention on it. But employee cannot claim that he didn’t receive the letter. It is deemed to be received by
the employee. And we have to file it in the Personal File for future reference.
Explanation:
If employee has given adequate explanation the we will consider his admission of mistake and issue a
warning letter with signature of Authorized Person.
Suspension pending at enquiry:
When an employee is found guilty of misconduct but his guilt is not proved employer can suspend him
from duties .In this case employee will not be retrenched from his duties but he will abounded from the
duty till he found guilt/innocence is proved.
We cannot suspend a women employee who is in maternity leave on the basis of misconduct .even
though Show-Cause notice has issued we have to wait till the completion of her maternity period. And at
the same time we cannot withhold other statutory benefits on these grounds.
Parties need to attend enquiry
 Management Representative
 Employee
 Witness
Payment of Subsistence Allowance:
While an employee is under suspension pending at enquiry he is allowed to receive subsistence
Allowance for the period of suspension. Any amount will be payable in cheque.
For first 90 Da – 50 % of Wages
For period up to 90 Days after first 90 Days – 75% of Wages
Notice of Enquiry:

87 | P a g e
A Report on HR Practices and Procedures – Ushodaya Publications

After suspension we will issue a Notice of Enquiry asking him to attend the domestic Enquiry .Venue and
time and place of enquiry is decided and informed in the letter itself. We will consult the legal department
before sending the notice as proactive means.
Conducting the domestic Enquiry:
An enquiry officer will be appointed as the incharge of the enquiry. He will conduct the entire enquiry
procedure in the presence of both employer and employee. To give support to the employee within the
organisation he can ask any colleague to present there. It is mandated that enquiry officer should be an
advocate. After listing to both the parties and checking the relevant proofs he will give his enquiry
report .It is not particular that such report need to be submitted in English only. It could be in any language
understandable by employee.
Punishment:
After getting all the report from the enquiry officer management will decide on what sort of punishment to
be given. After consulting our legal advisor(i.e we will send entire case file to legal department )we will
come to an conclusion.
1. Demotion: She/ He might be transfer to a different place
2. Suspension: Suspension from duty which might last from 2 Days to 2 Weeks.
3. Stop Increment: Increment will be stopped. Based upon the severity maximum of 3 years increments
can be stopped.
4. Dismissal: An employee can be dismissed from the job. On the DISMISSAL LETTER it is mandatory
to have the signature of the MD mention the reason for his dismissal.
 Minimum punishment for Domestic Enquiry is suspension.
 Once the notice of Domestic Enquiry has issued, employee has to bear the minimum punishment.
Even though he admitted his misconduct we cannot stop the procedure.
Documents in personal files
 Copies and Original Copies of all the letter sent
 Notice of Enquiry
 Explanation Letter
 Duplicate Copies of the mentioned documents are to be sent to concerned Unit Incharge.

DISCIPLINARY ACTION PROCEDURE


Whenever any issue has occurred regarding any disciplinary action there is a procedure to be followed:
Collecting the evidences:
First without relying upon the primary facts we have to collect the proper evidences from the nearby people
and people who are there at the time of the incident. In case any employee has involved in any sort of cash
embezzlement it is the responsibility of the respective team leader to do the follow and collect necessary
facts.
Send Notice:
Initial action that can be taken after collecting the evidences is sending show cause notice stating the
incident that has happened. For those employees who are having bond, even notices are to be sent to
surety person.
Suspension:
After sending Show-Cause Notice if employee has responded then we will issue a warning letter.
Suspension in any case will not be more than 2, 3 days.
Settlement of Due Amount:
If there is any amounts due then it will be settled in final settlement. If the due amount is from our end then
we will mention it in the Settlement Sheet and remit the amount at the time of Final Settlement.
Other cases
When refused to take notice:
When employee is refused to receive the notice a maximum chance of 3 will be given .And every
registered post will saved into the personal file of the employee Later it is presumed to be taken and we
can directly Dismiss or transfer the employee.
When Employee’s address is improper:
There would be cases when employee will be went missing and will not be found in the address he has
mention to us .In that case also the notice is deemed to be received. In that scenario paper add will be
given mention the same things that are mentioned in Enquiry Notice.

My Learning as Part of Training & Development Department

During my period of training as a Management Trainee starting from11.03.2019 to 11.05.2019 in Training


and Development Department under Mrs.Anusha Koneti as reporting Authority.
1) Consolidation of Job Descriptions
Initially we collected all the JD’s from all the separate units and started to consolidate them based on the
designation. After collecting the JD’s from units they are separated based on the designation and
department. I found it challenging and leant how to prepare the JD based on the requirement of the
organization.
My Observations:
Any training procedure should start with training need analysis. This is like constructing the basement to
build a tower. TNA encompasses the study of various jobs and job structures which means JD’s inshort.
2) Attending Training Sessions as coordinator
As a training coordinator it happened that I could attend various training sessions of Mrs.Himabindu.
This includes training given to RFC tourism Department on “Guest Experience Management” & English
Training sessions for “USHAKIRON WELLNESS CENTER” therapists etc.
It has been observed that for a trainee to reach the training objective it is necessary to change the
training mechanism based on the target group. Methodology of training should be dependent on the
target group and content to be delivered.
3) Collecting Feedback forms and preparing training analysis reports.
Collecting feedback is as important as conducting the training session. At first all the relevant ratings
given to the corresponding question will be copied into an excel sheet to get the average rating. Then a
final training analysis report will be prepared
Training Analysis report is used to understand the effectiveness of the training program that has done .It
also serves as an effective tool to understand the expectations of the trainees. This also helps to frame
the further training program.
4) Preparing Training Material for induction, Office Etiquette,5S
While working in training & development department I got an opportunity to prepare various PPTs as
training material such as for induction, 5S. While preparing training material it is important to
understand the purpose of the training session. The PPT’s should deliver the objective of the
presentation that it can create a positive impact on the behavioral change .
5) Preparing training Material for Psychometric Tests
Training is given to bring change behaviorally, then the question arises on how to analyse the change in
the behavior pattern of the individual before and after training program. Here comes

108 | P a g e
A Report on HR Practices and Procedures – Ushodaya Publications

Physiographic tests which will help to understand, analyses and forecast the behavior of an
individual .This also helps an employee to understand himself better.

6) 5S Technique

5S is a system for organizing spaces so work can be performed efficiently, effectively, and safely. This
system focuses on putting everything where it belongs and keeping the workplace clean, which makes it
easier for people to do their jobs without wasting time or risking injury.

The term 5S comes from five Japanese words: Seiri (Sort) ,Seiton (Straighten, Set),Seiso (Shine,
Sweep),Seiketsu (Standardize),Shitsuke (Sustain).

7)Self Analysis with TA

Understanding oneself is as much as important as understanding others .Throgh Transactional Analysis it


is easy to understand ourselves and others by understanding various Ego Stages. It is a concept
developed by Eric Berne stating every individual will have 3 Ego stages :

109 | P a g e
A Report on HR Practices and Procedures – Ushodaya Publications

My learning and observations from Training & Development

 For any training program to be successful, procedure is important.

Delivering content is not the end of the training program it is also equally important to collect the feedback
and conduct the analysis to proceed further.

Altering ourselves as per targeted audiences is the main technique that to be understood by trainer.

My Learning from training in RFC (Moosapet Unit)

 It is observed that there is a big impact on the HR Processes with the up gradation of technology.
 Earlier Payroll is manually maintained. Before Time office, muster roll of every individual employee is
maintained. Where they will put their initials.
 And at the time of payroll all CL,SL,EL and HOP will be counted manually. Imagine how hectic task would
be.
 Likewise there was no monthly contribution of ESI,PF. It used to be half yearly and quarterly respectively.

A Report on HR Practices and Procedures – Ushodaya Publications

As a part of training we attended Mr.Jay shankar‘s session on “HOW TO MAKE OUR ORGANISATION
AN EXCELLENT PLACE TO WORK” where we were given a project to develop and implement buddy
system in our organization .
What is buddy system?

Buddy is assigned to every new hire to help him overcome the initial obstacles and assist in cooling
Phase. Initially an employee will have some doubts and inhabitations while joining in the organization.

The motto of buddy system is to MAKE EMPLOYEE FEEL THAT HE HAS MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE
TO WORK IN OUR ORGANISATION.

TEAM of BUDDY SYSTEM

Dr.Gopal Rao Garu

Mrs.Nikhat Unnisa

Chandrika Katupilla Mounika Ramachandruni

A Report on HR Practices and Procedures – Ushodaya Publications

Who can be a Buddy ?

HOD

Section In charge

If not available, HR or any one from T&D Team of the particular organization.

Traits of Good Buddy:

Self Motivated and Motivator

Good Listener

Open minded & social


Steps in implementation of buddy system

1. Inputs Collection

2. System Formulation

3. Training Buddy

4. Implementing the System

5. Evaluation

6. Reframing
How we planned to implement buddy system
At first we thought of meeting HOD of very individual Organization to collect JD”S .Because of the fact that
the needs and work culture of the organizations are highly independent of on another.
After collecting the JDs we planned to devolve and implement the system.
Training that is given to the buddies is the important aspect .Training will be given on how to handle
change, behavioral aspects etc.
