Associate – Human Resources | Zolostays

Own the employee lifecycle. Keep HR operations accurate. Make every process work on time.

Company Name: ZoloStays

Designation: Associate – Human Resources

Location: Bangalore

Salary Range: up to 6.5 LPA (Subject to hike according to market standards)

Employment Type: Full-time

Experience Required: 1–3 years in HR Operations, with mandatory experience in blue-collar staff hiring and onboarding.

Why this role exists

Zolo operates across multiple properties, cities, and business units with a large workforce supporting operations every day. For blue-collar employees, a smooth employee experience depends on several HR processes working correctly and on time. From the moment an employee joins until the day they exit, multiple activities need to happen accurately:

- Joining documentation must be completed
- Employee records must be created and updated
- Attendance information must be accurate
- Payroll inputs must reach the right teams on time
- PF and ESIC processes must be supported
- Employee queries need timely resolution
- Exits, clearances, and Full & Final settlements must move without unnecessary delays

When these processes work well, employees and Operations teams can focus on their work without repeatedly following up with HR.

When they don't

- Employees face onboarding delays
- Payroll issues increase
- Documentation remains incomplete
- Employee records become unreliable
- PF and ESIC issues remain unresolved
- Operations teams spend time following up
- Exits and settlements get delayed

This role exists to ensure that HR operations for blue-collar employees are accurate, timely, organized, and consistently executed from joining to exit.

Your mandate is explicit

- Manage end-to-end HR operations for blue-collar employees
- Ensure joining and onboarding processes are completed on time
- Maintain accurate employee documentation and records
- Coordinate attendance and payroll inputs
- Support PF, ESIC, and basic compliance activities
- Resolve employee and Operations-team HR queries
- Maintain accurate HRMIS data
- Ensure exit, clearance, and F&F; processes move to closure

This is not simply an HR coordination role. It is an employee lifecycle execution and HR operations ownership role.
