personnel office

Employee services hub

A personnel office is the department within an organization that handles employee-related matters—hiring, payroll, benefits, and workplace policies.

The term has largely given way to "human resources" or "HR" in contemporary usage, though personnel office remains common in government and military contexts: Report to the personnel office to complete your paperwork.
