The HR solution industry


HR solution industry constitutes to solutions in business related to human resources issuesand help business to carry out their operational work smoothly it comprises: Permanent recruitment Temporary recruitment Other segments Temporary staffing Temporary staffing, one of the leading HR trends today, is expected to increase its penetration significantly, given the current uncertain economic conditions. The primary reason that drives temp staffing/temporary staffing is that organizations today want to focus on their core business and hence want to outsource all activities that are not directly related to their business. Therefore, Easy Source India provides manpower based on the requirements of the organization.

Permanent Recruitment Recruitment is expected to evolve from a fragmented ecosystem to players adopting ways to work closely with clients requirements, where resume pushers (who do not add significant value to their clients) will eventually get marginalized. Recruitment companies are likely to move away from sourcing relevant candidates to accessing the right ones by using psychometric and other robust tests to shortlist them. Other segments Organizations are fast realizing the benefits of outsourcing non-core activities and focusing on enhanced value added activities. Outsourcing non-core activities enables HR professionals to move away from routine administration to a more strategic role. As a result, the number of companies outsourcing HR activities is expected to continue to rise and the scope of outsourced HR activities to expand. The HR solutions industry is seems poised for interesting times; with 11 deals in the last three years, the overall sector is expected to keep innovating and evolving toward exponential growth.

Payroll
Payroll is the financial records of employees for the service they render. It is the salary structure of employee in the organization. It is a procedure to calculate the salary of employee.

Payroll process
Calculation of gross salaries and deductible amounts is a tedious task which involves risk. Some of the organizations use the traditional manual method of payroll processing and some go for the advanced payroll processing software. An organization opts for any of the following payroll processing methods available: Manual system Manual payroll system is the traditional payroll system which involves pen and ink, adding machine, spreadsheet, etc. instead of computers, software and other computerized aids. The process was very popular when there were no computerized means for payroll processing. Now-a-days it is only few small scale organizations in the remote areas that use the manual payroll. Sometimes the construction industry and manufacturing industry also use the manual payroll systems for the contractual labor, as these contracts are on daily/weekly basis.There is full control in the hands of owner. But the process is tedious, time consuming and risky as it is more prone to errors.

Accountant Accountant is a professional having a degree/diploma course in finance/accountancy. He/she is responsible for all the activities related to payroll accounting. He/she has the sound knowledge of accounting principles and globally accepted standards. The process adds costs to the organization. It involves paying someone who is responsible for calculating the salaries of others. The financial control regarding salary goes in the hand of accountant. Payroll software In todays computerized environment, payroll system has also developed itself into automated software that performs every action needed by the payroll process. It helps in calculating the payable amounts and deductions very easily. It also helps in generating the pay slips in lesser time. Automated calculations result in no errors. Data is validated automatically by the software. It needs professionals to make use of the software for its efficient working. Outsourcing Payroll outsourcing involves a third party (an outsourcing company) in the calculations of salaries and deductions. The outsourcing organization is responsible for all the activities of the payroll accounting. It saves time and cost for the organization. If there is more number of employees (say more than 900-1000) in the organization, payroll outsourcing would be very much beneficial. The data is provided to the consultants/outsourcing firms. The various payroll functions undertaken by the outsourcing organizations are as follows:

Purpose of payroll outsourcing

Page 10

Companys preference to outsource payroll process 1) Human capital management is becoming difficult in companies day by day. 2) In-house team will find it very difficult to make rapid change in the payroll processing arising out of policy or statutory obligations changes. As payroll constitute as non-core activity. 3) Payroll process is much complex in the company, mostly neglected by the higher department which makes employee less morale towards the organization and their works. 4) High cost maintenance of payroll. 5) Limited awareness of statutory obligations. 6) Attrition and inconsistency 7) Taxation problems 8) Not timely processed. 9) Policy changes. 10) Security of the data- confidential creates unevenness in employees.

Solutions by payroll outsourcing


In order to avoid all the payroll problems the companies are giving their payroll service to external service provider which is known as payroll outsourcing.

Statutory obligations
1) Provident fund- this is the fund which organization deduct from the employee salary, for which is being compensated at the time of getting retirement. 2) Professional tax- government charges a sum amount of tax over employees salary. As per government of Karnataka, salary stated: Below 10000rs- nil 10000-15000- 150rs 15000-20000-200rs 3) ESI- employee state insurance
Page 11

If employees earnings are below 15000Rs. He is provided insured value from the organization. 4) Income tax on salaries Accordance to income of person on annual basis 0 - 2 lakh Rs- null 2 - 5 lakh Rs-10%-14% 5 -10 lakh Rs- 20% Above10 lakh Rs- 30% Drawbacks of payroll outsourcing 1) One is that you may lose a kind of control of your payroll as changes in your payroll have to go through your service provider. 2) It will be less flexible in how payroll is produced and what reports are generated. 3) Mainly the company at the time of outsourcing reveals the data of financial and personnel, but sometimes there are bad employees in the company who ruins it all. 4) There is a rising threat of identity theft.

Factors to be considered when outsourcing payroll


1) Get references from current clients of the payroll service provider you are considering to go with before you sign any contract. Try and find reference in the same industry as your business is. How flexible is the provider with adjustments if any reports need to be changed or added? Does it have high level of customer service? How smooth to handover from your present payroll procedure? How secure it is with the data held by the service provider? How long will your data be kept and how often the backup is? If an employee of yours asks for a prior years W-2 form, can the provider provide it suppose you have been with same provider for more than 2years?

8)

How many clients does payroll service provider have? A primary payroll service provider should have a substantial client base. 9) If any payroll issues are taken to court who will be liable? 10) What kind of reports will they generate for you and how much does it cost if you ask for additional reports? 5) Consumer preference for purchasing payroll service

Entire population suspects prospects buyer Population The entire no of population presented at the particular
place.

Suspects The target people for the purchase of the products will
investigate or know more about the particular product or service.

Prospects After the suspects of the product, the consumer will have

Marketing Department
The marketing department must act as a guide and lead the company's other departments in developing, producing, fulfilling, and servicing products or services for their customers. Communication is vital. The marketing department typically has a better understanding of the market and customer needs, but should not act independently of product development or customer service. Marketing should be involved, and there should be a meeting of the minds, whenever discussions are held regarding new product development or any customer-related function of the company. As Facil is into service industry it offers Business to Business (B2B) services and offers Payroll services. Facil starts marketing by identifying customer needs and wants through Market Research and ends with satisfying them through a coordinated set of activities that also allows a Facil to achieve its own goals, profitably.

Summary of Findings
There are many Small and Medium size organizations having number of employees 10 50, are facing lots of challenges while processing the payrolls of their employees and not satisfied with their current method of payroll. The major challenge faced by the Human Resource department of many organizations is the continuous changes in the statutory obligations which they are unable to keep the update. As the number of employees in the organization is increasing the challenges for payroll process is getting increased. The organizations which are using online or offline methods of payroll processing are lagging behind in the knowledge of payroll processing. The industry requires more number of technical experts who can process payroll. Consumer preference selection and business preference selection are totally different. Consumer major preference is mostly the particular brand but in the case of business, their first preference is the technical expertise people as service and performance is the first preference compared to brand.

Suggestions
One important suggestion is that more care and concern should be given to the clients to retain the trust of existing valued customers. As company works on the philosophy of Customer is King. The company can promote its services through social media, as its costs nothing as compared to other promotion medium. Company should hire more number of marketing executives and technical experts to provide better services. Company should focus more on technical part as the industry is facing challenges in technical issues. Companies dealing with B2B organization, companies doesnt prefer any royalties, brand reputation or brand entrustment. The companies mostly prefer people who have better technical knowledge, better solutions and smooth operations.

Conclusion
The study at Facil internet Technologies Pvt. Ltd. has enabled me to understand the various needs of an organization, how an organization of a corporate nature functions and how important it is to have a right relationship between the employee and employer or the management. The study was conducted with a view to understand the functions of an organization, and its various departments. During the course of study I was successful in achieving these objectives and could familiarize with an organization and its environment. This study has improved my confidence by its successful completion to undertake such studies in the future. This internship has helped me to understand the stress faced by people who do market research. It was a different experience compared to market research on consumer behavior. As the company is B2B, mostly I had to face the HR manager and accountants of the organizations.
