OTHER FUNCTIONS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

(HRM)

1. EMPLOYEE INCENTIVES
HR understands that satisfied employees lead to a positive work environment. The department
implements strategies to keep employees motivated. It may organize and coordinate incentive
programs, such as awards, prizes, gifts, bonuses, contests, promotions and staff parties to
motivate employees. HR also assesses how company policies affect employee motivation.

2. COMPLIANCE
HR ensures the employer satisfies employment laws to avoid audits and penalties by
the agency that oversees those laws. Such regulations relate to immigration, new hire
reporting, employee classification, record-keeping, health and safety, workers
compensation, state disability insurance, wages and hours, employee benefits,
paycheck deductions, employee attendance and conduct, discrimination, and
employment and union contracts. HR assists in developing and communicating the
written and formal procedures that pertain to these issues.
3. TERMINATIONS
HR oversees employee terminations. They conduct exit interviews and inform
terminated employees of their rights to certain benefits, such as health insurance under
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act and unemployment insurance.
During layoffs, HR gives employees the appropriate notice and works with state
dislocated worker programs to help minimize the effect of layoffs on employees.
