Key Responsibilities:

• Manage attendance and shift rosters across all three shifts using biometric systems and HRMS; handle OT tracking, late marks, and leave administration

• Process end-to-end monthly payroll for 200 employees including CTC management, arrears, loans, and salary revisions

• Handle all statutory compliance independently — PF, ESIC, Professional Tax, LWF, Bonus, and Gratuity

• Manage contract labour compliance including principal employer registers, contractor licences, and Form XII/XIII

• Ensure POSH compliance, maintain ICC constitution, and file annual POSH reports

• Liaise with labour department, handle inspections, and respond to notices

Candidate Requirements:

• Minimum 5 years of HR experience with at least 3 years in a manufacturing, chemical, sugar, distillery, or process plant environment

• Hands-on experience with PF, ESIC, and Factories Act compliance — not just coordinating with a consultant

• Proficiency with HRMS platforms such as GreytHR, Keka, or similar

• Strong working knowledge of Certified Standing Orders and Chhattisgarh labour laws

• Experience handling labour department inspections and audits preferred

Nice to Have:

• Prior experience in ethanol, chemical, or related process industries

• Exposure to contract workforce management of 50 or more workers

• It is a Full Time Recruiter / HR / Admin job for candidates with 3 - 6+ years Experience.
