Share your requirementsIn brief
GullyHR, based in Bengaluru, helps Qatar businesses with HR from India. We audit your HR set-up, design hiring, onboarding, performance and documentation processes, draft policies, train managers online, and can offer ongoing HR operations support. We do not give legal advice, run payroll or arrange visas. Your Qatar adviser confirms local rules, and we design the process around them.
Time zone. Qatar is on UTC+3 all year. India is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead. Meeting windows are agreed with you at the start.
Who this suits in Qatar
- Contracting, construction support and services firms with project teams that join and leave in waves.
- Local family groups and joint ventures with several departments and no central HR function.
- Companies with a large expatriate workforce that need consistent onboarding and records.
- Businesses that operate in or alongside the Qatar Financial Centre and want clear, written HR standards.
What we do for businesses in Qatar
HR audit
We review hiring, contracts, records, pay practices and exits across your Qatar team. You get a written list of gaps, ranked by priority.

Project-based hiring waves.
Teams grow and shrink with contracts. Without a standard process, each wave is hired and onboarded differently. We write one standard pack of steps that each project team can reuse.
Large expatriate workforce.
People from many countries join through different routes. Records, contracts and induction need one clear standard. We create one induction and one file checklist, whatever the route of joining.
Qatarisation planning.
Employers may need to plan hiring and development of Qatari nationals. This needs role mapping and a fair selection process. We build a role map and a selection process that can be explained to partners.
Joint ventures and family groups.
Different partners may expect different practices. A common written standard keeps people decisions consistent. We write a short common standard for hiring, leave and review that all partners sign off.
Employee files and records.
Contracts, ID copies and approvals are often scattered. A clean employee file system makes reviews and disputes easier. We design a one-page file checklist so missing items are visible at a glance.
Supervisors without HR training.
Site and department heads handle warnings, leave and exits. They need short, clear guidance they can follow. We write plain guides for warnings, leave requests and exits, with sample letters.
Exit and final settlement.
Clearance and settlement are often handled from memory. A written exit process reduces mistakes and delay. We write the exit steps, owners and records in one checklist.
Local rules your adviser confirms
Qatar employment rules differ by employer type and location. GullyHR does not give legal advice. Confirm each point below with a qualified adviser in Qatar. We then design the process around what they confirm.
| Topic | What we do about it |
|---|---|
| Wage Protection System | Wage payment through the WPS is a compliance area. Your payroll provider handles it, and we map the HR records that feed it. |
| Qatarisation | Your adviser confirms whether and how it applies to you. We design role mapping and a hiring plan around it. |
| Contracts and approvals | Employment contracts and registrations follow local procedure. We create a checklist for your PRO or adviser to complete, and we do not handle filings. |
| End-of-service gratuity | Your adviser confirms how gratuity is calculated and paid. We build the exit checklist and record-keeping around that rule. |
| Qatar Financial Centre | Firms in the QFC may follow separate employment regulations. Your adviser confirms which regime applies, and we align the documents. |
| Working hours, leave and Ramadan | Hours, leave and Ramadan arrangements follow local rules. We write the policy once your adviser confirms the entitlements. |
| Probation, notice and termination | These areas are legally sensitive. We design the process and templates, and your adviser reviews them before use. |
| Worker accommodation and welfare | Where employers provide housing or transport, local standards may apply. Your adviser confirms them, and we include the steps in onboarding. |
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
Short discovery call
We start with a video call to understand your team, your structure and what is not working. You share what you have in writing, and we agree what we will cover.
- 2
Documents and data shared securely
You send policies, contracts, job descriptions and process notes through shared folders. We read them before the next call, so the call time goes on decisions.
- 3
Review or design, in writing
We audit the existing set-up or design the new process. You receive written findings, flowcharts, checklists and drafts in editable formats.
- 4
Walk-through and local check
We walk your team through the output on a video call. Anything that touches local law goes to your Qatar adviser before it is finalised.
- 5
Hand-over and optional ongoing support
You receive final documents and a clear owner for each process. If you want, we continue with online training or ongoing HR operations support.
What we do not do
- We do not give legal advice or opinions on Qatar labour law.
- We do not process payroll, run the Wage Protection System or calculate gratuity.
- We do not arrange visas, residence permits, work permits or government filings.
- We do not supply contract staff or run background verification.
- We do not have a Qatar office, and we do not claim Qatar registrations or Qatar clients.
Questions from businesses in Qatar
Yes, for process design, documents, audits and training, all of which can be delivered online. Legal points are confirmed by your own Qatar adviser.
We design a repeatable hiring and onboarding process that works for each new project wave. Visas and permits stay with your PRO or adviser.
We can help plan roles, hiring steps and development paths that support it. Your adviser confirms what applies to your business.
No. We map the HR records that payroll depends on. Your payroll provider or accountant runs payroll and submissions.
We can. The rules there may differ, so your adviser confirms the regime, and we shape documents to fit it.
India is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Qatar. We agree meeting windows at the start and share written updates between calls.
This depends on the scope, number of sites and existing documents. We share a written scope and price after a short discovery call.
We deliver remotely as standard. If you would like an on-site session, ask us and we will discuss whether it is practical.
