HR is not Admin job
The managers always believe that HR is an administrative department. As they make a strategic decision and HR will make the necessary paperwork. Oh, my God, it is not true. The real HR job is not about the administration (at least partly).
The managers do not recognize, Human Resources is highly regulated business area and the HR employees have to follow many standard procedures, which are required by the law. They just see how much HR employees complicate their managerial decisions, which are always brilliant. Just the decisions are a bit illegal sometimes. HR Employees have to correct the mistakes of managers and they have to adjust the managerial decisions as it is fully compliant with the law.
When you speak with you managers, you have always to explain, you are not there to make the necessary administrative job. That you are a natural part of the managerial decision to be made.
Honestly, it is the role and responsibility of Human Resources to explain the content of the HR job to managers. It is not just about the explanation, but it is also about the acting as the HR role is defined. When the HR employee explains, that his role is not about the administration and then the employee just waits for the requests from the manager, it will be always the administrative HR role.
HR cannot wait for the requests to process the papers correctly and fully compliant with the law.
