HR Administrator Jobs in San Francisco, CA

A HR Administrator is a crucial figure in the human resources industry, responsible for undertaking a range of administrative duties that support the smooth running of a HR department. Their tasks typically include maintaining employee records, managing HR documents such as employment contracts and recruitment documents, processing payroll, and carrying out initial screening of job applicants. They may also be asked to assist with disciplinary procedures, employee training, and benefits administration. They are often the first point of contact for HR-related queries from employees and external partners.
