The small company accountant often ends up keeping the “official
personnel folders” for the company employees.
And, along with this, comes many tasks that would be done by a human resource
department, if one existed in the company.
But, since the company has no human resource department, the accountant
is given the role.
Many of the tasks needed, such as payroll, records
management, and regulatory compliance, can be well-handled by a skilled and willing
accountant. The accountant can be
greatly assisted in this role by a willingness to seek out and use the many
websites that have excellent information on the human resource functions and
managing the functions.
The following identify some of these excellent sites and provides
links to them.
A Wolters Kluwer site provides well-organized and easy to read
information covering many functions that are needed in managing personnel. Click here to go to this site.
The US Department of Labor (DOL) provides extensive information
of probable use in personnel management issues and decisions. Employment law and regulations can be found
by clicking here. DOL provides hundreds
of job descriptions and 2010 median pay based on federal government surveys. Click here to access this information.
Two sites useful for employee benefit-related information
are the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) site and the
BenefitsLink.com site. At the
BenefitsLink site, click on “Authorities” in order to find several links to government
and other sites providing guidance on employee benefits. Click here and here to go to the EBRI and
BenefitsLink sites, respectively.
These are just a few of the many websites where you can find
in-depth information on human resource/personnel management.
