Im not really sure on what i should be focusing on to start  my buisness. i need help with finding out the positions and pay roll for my sporting goods business. please if you have any suggestions please help.

:-) You guys are obviously being hit with a major project. When`s it due? We`re in April already, so when does the final "exam" take place?

The HR Manager, or VP of Human Resources, is responsible for the "who`s gonna do all this stuff?"

In your situation, it`s going to be a bit problematic. Today, Human Resources rolls into one department such things as insurance benefits, employee and contractual disagreements, policies and procedures, worker`s compensation, and of course, salaries and benefits.

Many larger companies have a single person who`s in charge of those salaries and benfits. They do research, looking out over the other, similar companies in their immediate geographic region. It`s a highly-paid position in and of itself.

In your situation, you`re going to have to "wing it." I`d visit 10 local sporting goods stores, explain that you`re doing a project, and ask to speak to the owner or manager. Bring a notebook, and ask for a "salary range" for each of the types of people working in the store. That`ll be the best you can do for research.

Another option is visit government sites that offer statistics on wages and salaries. One might be the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.

Your primary focus, having been brought into the business because it now has close to 50 employees, is going to be hiring and firing. Below 50 employees, you don`t necessarily have to comply with OSHA regulations, so that`s the reason for the number. Most companies don`t have a dedicated HR person until they reach that number (at least).

Your job is to speak with each other manager, ask them to write a job description (or at least the basic requirements), for each of the positions they manage. You then write those up in a formal job description. That`s used for advertising and to hire people.

Your next job is the preliminary interview process. When candidates respond to your ads, you have to "screen them" to determine if they`re remotely qualified. So you have to set up interviews and schedules. If you have some qualified candidates, you pass their names to the managers. If they choose someone, it`s your next job to make a "job offer." That will include start date, salary range, annual review/raises policy, and what benefits are included.

Aside from the hiring/firing, it`s your job to set up an employee health plan, insurance plan, and how much it`ll cost. Then you`ll have to run that by the Executive management (CEO, COO, and CFO). If they say they can afford it, you`ll have to then put it into action.

You`ll also have to develop a sign-up schedule, to sign up the employees who want to take advantage of the health benefits. That`ll include training sessions so everyone knows how much, what they qualify for, etc.

When you`re done, your last job is to plan the annual company picnic and also the Christmas party. :-)

Don`t forget about dealing with all the whining and drama that tends to go on in the workplace. Sometimes HR has to get involved to mediate!

LOL!! Exactly! The HR manager generally is the "Complaint Department."

Consider the famous Donald Trump line, "You`re Fired!!"

It`s the HR manager who might have to step in and whisper to Mr. Trump that in some instances, firing someone could lead to a lawsuit for wrongful termination. So the HR person mostly keeps lists and information on *every* person working for the company---including the executives.

That information includes home addresses, legal information, salary stuff, and so on. Legal would mean having proof of citizenship or legal right to work in the US. Those would be on file.

The CEO might ask, "How long has Sally worked for us? She`s really good! Can`t we give her a raise?"

Then the HR manager would have immediate access to Sally`s file. You`d know how long she worked there, when she started, her age, the last employee review, when she got her last raise, and if she was approaching the high-end of her salary range.
