4. Facility Audit Readiness

- Coordinate ongoing facility readiness for statutory, customer and internal audits.
- Work with Production, Quality, EHS, Engineering and Administration to maintain required records and workplace practices.
- Keep employee files, attendance and wage records, training records, contractor documents and compliance evidence organised and accessible.

- Ensure audit readiness is part of routine operations, with technical and quality requirements owned by the respective functions.

5. Attendance, Payroll and Employee Records

- Maintain accurate attendance, shift, overtime, leave and employee records.
- Prepare and verify payroll inputs with Finance and the payroll team.
- Resolve attendance and salary discrepancies promptly.
- Coordinate employee movements, exits and full-and-final settlement inputs.
- Maintain accurate information in Zoho People, Zoho Payroll or equivalent systems.

- Address contract workforce issues and monitor contractor adherence to agreed requirements.
- Serve as an accessible point of contact for employee grievances and workplace concerns.
- Support employee welfare,



communication and retention.

7. Onboarding and Exit Formalities
