What Does an HR Administrator Do?

Each human resources administrator has different duties and responsibilities, depending on their industry and organization. Furthermore, it also depends on whether they’re working full-time or part-time. Most companies tend to list down all the immediate and potential duties of HR administrators so they can hire the most appropriate candidate.
In any case, the following duties and tasks are what the typical human resources administrator has to manage:
Organizing and maintaining personnel records, entering new hire data, and updating any previous employees’ data.
Updating internal HR databases; for example, entering sick leaves, maternity leaves, and more.
Review, revise, and update company policies.
Prepare various HR documents, including new hire guides, employment contracts, compensation lists, and more.
Assist recruiters, talent acquisition teams, and other HR staff with activities, such as onboarding of new recruits.
Be the first point of contact with external partners, such as insurance vendors, to ensure legal compliance.
Answer any employee queries about people or HR-related issues, and help them resolve them internally, if possible.
Create regular presentations and reports on HR metrics, such as turnover rates, retention rates, and more.
Arrange any travel accommodations and take care of expense forms by communicating between departments.
Help the payroll department by providing them with up-to-date information on all employees, including sick leaves, leaves of absence, overtime hours, work schedules, and more.
Take an active part in HR projects, such as job fairs, recruitments rounds, and more.
Manage and run the HRIS software of the organization, and make sure it’s updated.
Assist the HR manager in managing and administrating the HR budget.
The duties listed above summarize the responsibilities of the average human resources administrator. However, organizations may include more duties that may or may not be part of an HR administrator’s basic job description.

just to clarify, an HR administrator is a step up from an HR admin assistant right?

[@hruniversity]

Yes, typically, an HR administrator is considered a step up from an HR administrative assistant in terms of job responsibilities and often in terms of seniority within an organization. The specific job titles and roles can vary between different companies, but generally, HR administrator roles involve more complex tasks and responsibilities compared to HR administrative assistant roles.
HR Administrative Assistant:
Typically handles routine administrative tasks, such as data entry, filing, and document management.
Assists with scheduling interviews, onboarding processes, and employee record maintenance.
Often focuses on providing support to the HR department and may not be involved in higher-level HR decision-making.
HR Administrator:
Generally, an HR administrator has more responsibility and may have a broader range of tasks, including handling more complex HR processes.
Often involved in tasks like employee benefits administration, HR policy enforcement, and coordination of HR programs.
May play a role in recruitment, employee relations, and may have decision-making authority on HR matters, depending on the organization's structure.
In some organizations, the distinction between these roles may not be as clear, and the job titles and responsibilities can vary. It's essential to review the specific job descriptions and requirements for a particular organization to understand the differences between an HR administrator and an HR administrative assistant in that context.
