Clear HR processes for Norwegian businesses, built remotely from India
GullyHR helps small and mid-sized businesses in Norway audit, design and document their HR processes. We work remotely from Bengaluru, leave legal questions to your Norwegian adviser, and build the confirmed rules into your process.

Share your requirementsIn brief
GullyHR, based in Bengaluru, helps Norwegian businesses with HR audits, hiring and onboarding processes, handbooks, absence and consultation workflows, and manager training. We work remotely by video call and shared documents. We do not give legal advice or run payroll. Your Norwegian adviser confirms the rules and we build them into your HR system.
Time zone. Norway is on UTC+1 in winter and UTC+2 in summer. India is 4 hours 30 minutes ahead in winter and 3 hours 30 minutes ahead in summer. Indian morning meets the Norwegian early day, so most calls fit before lunch in Norway.
Who this suits in Norway
- A Norwegian company in energy, maritime or shipping services where managers work with crews and office staff on different arrangements.
- A Norwegian subsidiary of an international group that needs local HR documents consistent with head office.
- A growing technology or services business that wants a handbook, onboarding and review process before more hiring.
- A business with employee representatives and safety delegates that wants a written routine for working with them.
What we do for businesses in Norway
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 Norwegian adviser marked separately. The first conversation is free; the audit is paid.
Read more →HR process design
We map and redesign hiring, onboarding, absence, performance and exit workflows. Each step has an owner and a record, with consultation points included where your adviser says they are needed.
Read more →Policies and employee handbook
We draft a handbook and core policies in plain English. Legal wording and entitlements stay open until your Norwegian adviser confirms them, then we finish the documents.
Read more →HR documentation
We build the contract templates, forms, staff-file structure and checklists that make records complete and easy to find when an audit or dispute arises.
Read more →Manager training online
Online sessions on trust-based delegation, feedback, and handling absence and return-to-work conversations for managers in flat teams.

Trust-based management with thin records.
Norwegian workplaces often run on trust and informal talk. That works until a case arises and nothing was written down. Light, consistent records protect both sides.
Employee representation.
Elected representatives and safety delegates may be part of HR routines. A written approach shows managers who must be informed and who must be involved.
Sickness absence follow-up.
Absence follow-up involves set steps between employer, employee and health services. Managers need a checklist so contact is timely and respectful.
Offshore, field and shift patterns.
Rotation work and shifts bring special rostering and record needs. These need clear rules for requests, swaps and rest.
International groups with Norwegian staff.
Group policies are often written for other countries. They need adapting so local employees see rules that fit their own working terms.
Recruiting skilled people.
Skilled roles can be hard to fill. A structured process with scorecards keeps decisions fair and recorded, even when managers are rushed.
Local rules your adviser confirms
These are Norwegian 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 |
|---|---|
| Working environment rules | The main body of employment and safety rules for employers. We design processes with these in mind. Your adviser confirms what applies. |
| Written employment contract | The information a new employee must receive in writing. We create contract and onboarding templates. Your adviser confirms the required content. |
| Collective agreements | Many sectors use them, and they can set pay and hours. We build policies around them. Your adviser or employer organisation confirms how they apply. |
| Employee representatives and consultation | Duties to involve employees or their representatives. We add information steps to the process. Your adviser confirms when they apply. |
| Holiday and holiday pay | Holiday entitlements and how pay is handled. We draft the request flow. Figures go in only after your adviser confirms them. |
| Sick pay and follow-up | Employer duties during sickness and the follow-up routine with the public welfare body. We design the log and conversations. Your adviser confirms the duties. |
| Working time rules | Hours, overtime and rest, including shift and rotation work. We design the record and request steps. Your adviser confirms what applies. |
| Equality and anti-discrimination | Duties on equal treatment in hiring and work. We build consistent steps into recruitment and reviews. 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, managers and the issues you want solved. We agree scope in writing and set meeting windows that suit Norwegian time.
- 2
Document review
You share contracts, handbooks, forms and sample records in a shared folder. We list gaps, contradictions and questions for your Norwegian adviser.
- 3
Written findings
We send a plain-English report with priorities, then walk 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 English in shared documents. Legal points stay marked until your Norwegian adviser confirms them.
- 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 Norwegian employment law.
- We do not run payroll, calculate tax deductions or make statutory filings.
- We do not handle residence permits or give immigration advice.
- We do not supply contract staff or run background verification.
- We do not claim an office, registration or past clients in Norway.
Questions from businesses in Norway
GullyHR does. We are based in Bengaluru and work remotely with businesses in Norway on audits, process design, documents and manager training. We do not give legal advice and we work alongside your Norwegian adviser.
No. We name areas your Norwegian adviser should check and then build the confirmed rules into your processes. Legal wording, entitlements and fit remain the adviser's responsibility.
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.
We draft in English. If Norwegian-language contracts or staff documents are needed, your adviser or a translator confirms the Norwegian version, and we keep the English and Norwegian structure aligned.
Not for how we work. We do not state which rules apply to you. Your Norwegian adviser confirms the local rules, and we build the confirmed requirements into your documents and processes.
Book a first conversation, which is free. Tell us your team size, your main concern and whether you have employee representatives. We then send a written scope and timeline so you can decide.
