Share your requirementsIn brief
GullyHR, based in Bengaluru, helps Irish businesses with audits, hiring and onboarding processes, handbooks, disciplinary and grievance workflows, and performance reviews. We work remotely by video call and shared documents. We do not give legal advice or run payroll. Your Irish adviser confirms the rules and we build them into your HR system.
Time zone. Ireland is on UTC+0 in winter and UTC+1 in summer, the same as the UK. India is 5 hours 30 minutes ahead in winter and 4 hours 30 minutes ahead in summer. Meeting windows are agreed at the start.
Who this suits in Ireland
- An Irish company with a small team where the owner or an office manager handles hiring, contracts and staff questions alongside other duties.
- An Irish office of a larger international group that needs local HR documents and processes written down and consistent with head office.
- A growing business, such as a technology, services or food business, that wants a handbook, onboarding and review process before hiring more.
- A business that employs people from outside the EU and wants a clear, consistent onboarding and records process around its permit steps.
What we do for businesses in Ireland
HR audit
We review contracts, policies, staff files, onboarding steps and management practice against a clear checklist. You receive a written report, with questions for your Irish adviser marked separately.
Read more →HR process design
We map and redesign hiring, onboarding, absence, performance, and disciplinary and grievance workflows for your team. Each step has an owner and a record, so managers act consistently.
Read more →Policies and employee handbook
We draft a handbook and core policies in plain British English. Legal wording and entitlements stay open until your Irish adviser confirms them, then we finish the documents.
Read more →Fractional HR management
If you have no full-time HR lead, we can act as an outside HR manager on an ongoing basis. We keep the process calendar and support managers remotely, flagging legal questions to your adviser.
Read more →Recruitment and interview process
We design structured interviews, scorecards and offer steps that keep hiring decisions consistent and recorded, which is especially useful when one manager hires for several teams.

Small teams within larger groups.
An Irish office may be a few people inside a global company. Head-office policies often assume a different country and need adapting so local staff understand them.
Contracts that do not match practice.
Terms written at hiring can drift from how the team really works. Notice, hours and duties then differ between contract and reality.
Working time and records.
Employers need a reliable way to record hours, breaks and leave. Informal systems break down as the team grows.
Disciplinary and grievance steps.
Without a written fair-procedures workflow, managers handle similar cases differently. A clear process, with records at each stage, gives staff and managers the same expectations.
Hiring from abroad.
Businesses hiring from outside the EU need a clear path from offer to start date. The permit is a matter for the authorities and your adviser, while the surrounding offer and onboarding steps need an owner.
Probation and performance.
Probation reviews and annual conversations are often skipped when managers are busy. A simple schedule and templates keep both sides informed.
Remote and hybrid work.
Many teams work part of the week from home. Requests, equipment, supervision and expectations need a written approach that applies fairly to all staff.
Local rules your adviser confirms
These are Irish regimes an employer should confirm with a qualified local adviser. We do not state rates, limits or notice periods. We design the process around each point once your adviser confirms it.
| Topic | What we do about it |
|---|---|
| Workplace Relations Commission | The body that deals with many employment complaints. We design disciplinary, grievance and record-keeping processes with fair procedures in mind. Your adviser confirms the details. |
| Terms of employment information | The written information a new employee must receive. We create contract and onboarding templates. Your adviser confirms the required content. |
| Working time rules | Hours, breaks and rest, plus how they are recorded. We design the recording and request steps. Your adviser confirms what applies to your roles. |
| Statutory leave and sick pay | Annual leave, family leave and statutory sick pay. We draft the policy structure and request flow. Figures go in only after your adviser confirms them. |
| Employment permits | Permits for non-EEA workers through the relevant authorities. Your adviser handles applications. We build the permit check into your offer and onboarding flow. |
| PRSI and tax | Social insurance and income tax obligations. Your adviser or payroll provider handles these. We add the joiner and leaver steps that feed them. |
| Pension arrangements | Workplace pension duties and options. Your adviser or pension provider confirms what applies. We add the enrolment step to your onboarding checklist. |
| Equality legislation | Protection against discrimination in hiring and employment. We design consistent, recorded recruitment and performance processes. Your adviser reviews the final wording. |
GullyHR does not give legal advice. We design the HR process around a rule once your qualified local adviser has confirmed it.
How remote delivery works
- 1
Scoping call
A video call to understand your business, team size, managers and the issues you want solved. We agree scope in writing and set meeting windows that suit Irish time.
- 2
Document review
You share contracts, handbooks, forms and sample records in a shared folder. We read them and list gaps, contradictions and questions for your adviser.
- 3
Written findings
We send a written report in plain English with priorities, then go through it on a call so you can ask questions before design starts.
- 4
Design and drafting
We draft process maps, policies, templates and checklists in shared documents. You comment, we revise, and legal points stay marked for your adviser.
- 5
Handover and support
We hand over final documents with a short guide for managers. If you want ongoing help, we can provide it remotely on a regular basis.
What we do not do
- We do not give legal advice or opinions on Irish employment law.
- We do not run payroll, calculate PRSI or make statutory filings.
- We do not apply for employment permits or give immigration advice.

Questions from businesses in Ireland
GullyHR does. We are based in Bengaluru and work remotely with Irish businesses on audits, process design, documents and training. We do not give legal advice and we work alongside your Irish adviser.
No. We have no Irish office or registration and we do not claim Irish clients. This page describes the remote service we offer and how it fits with your local adviser.
No. We name areas to check, such as working time rules and employment permits, but your qualified adviser confirms the rules. We then build the confirmed requirement into your processes.
We can draft the workflow, templates and manager guide, designed around fair procedures. Your Irish adviser should review it before use, because legal wording and fit are their responsibility.
We can design the offer, onboarding and records steps around a permit. We do not apply for permits or give immigration advice. Your adviser or the authorities handle the permit itself.
No. We do not compute payroll or make filings. We can design the joiner, leaver and change steps that feed your payroll provider, so the right information arrives on time.
It depends on scope, team size and the state of your existing documents. We share a written scope and timeline after the first call, so you can decide before committing to anything.
Our service is remote. If you want an on-site session, ask us and we will say honestly whether it is possible. Most work is done through calls and shared documents.
