Share your requirementsIn brief
GullyHR, based in Bengaluru, helps businesses in Spain with HR audits, hiring and onboarding processes, handbooks, absence and performance workflows, and manager training. We work remotely by video call and shared documents. We do not give legal advice or run payroll. Your Spanish adviser confirms the rules and we build them into your HR system.
Time zone. Spain 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 Spanish morning and midday, and the Spanish late lunch break is worth planning around.
Who this suits in Spain
- A family-owned or founder-led Spanish business where the owner handles hiring, contracts and staff questions with help from an outside gestoria or adviser.
- A Spanish subsidiary of an Indian or international group that needs local HR documents and processes written down and consistent with head office.
- A growing technology, tourism, hospitality or services business that wants a handbook, onboarding and review process before it hires more people.
- A business with sites in several regions that wants one clear HR approach, while allowing for regional and sector differences.
What we do for businesses in Spain
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 Spanish adviser marked separately.
Read more →HR process design
We map and redesign hiring, onboarding, absence, performance and disciplinary workflows for your team. Each step has an owner and a record, so managers act consistently.
Read more →Employee handbook and policies
We draft a handbook and core policies in plain English. Legal wording, entitlements and any Spanish-language versions stay open until your adviser or translator confirms them.
Read more →Employee onboarding process
We design a joiner checklist covering documents, equipment, introductions and the first weeks. Managers know what to do and new staff know what to expect.
Read more →Soft skills and management training
We train team leaders and managers online in feedback, delegation and difficult conversations. Sessions are scheduled for the Spanish working day.

Owner-led decision making.
In many Spanish family firms, the owner makes most people decisions personally. As the team grows, written processes help other managers act in the same way.
Sector and regional differences.
Terms of work often differ by industry and by region. A group with several sites needs a core HR approach that can carry local variations without confusion.
Contracts and practice drifting apart.
Terms written at hiring can differ from how people really work. Duties, hours and pay components then become unclear for both sides.
Seasonal and fixed-term staffing.
Tourism, hospitality and retail firms often scale teams up and down. A repeatable process for joiners, renewals and leavers keeps records consistent.
Two-language documents.
Staff may expect documents in Spanish or in a regional language. Head-office English versions need a clear translation and approval step.
Informal performance conversations.
Feedback often happens over coffee rather than on record. A simple schedule and template give staff and managers shared expectations.
Local rules your adviser confirms
These are Spanish 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 |
|---|---|
| Collective agreements | Many roles are covered by sector or company agreements that shape pay, hours and leave. Your adviser confirms which one applies. We build the confirmed terms into your documents. |
| Employee representation | Staff representatives and works committees may have information and consultation rights. Your adviser confirms what applies. We design manager communication steps around it. |
| Contract types | Different contract forms exist for permanent, fixed-term and part-time work. Your adviser confirms the right form. We create onboarding steps that use the correct template. |
| Working time recording | Employers are expected to keep a reliable record of working hours. Your adviser confirms the requirements. We design the recording and review steps. |
| Probation and termination steps | Probation customs and ending employment follow formal rules. Your adviser leads on these. We design the manager workflow and file records. |
| Social security and tax | Registration and contributions are handled by your adviser or payroll provider. We add the joiner and leaver steps that feed them. |
| Equality and data protection | Equality duties and personal data rules affect hiring and staff files. We design consistent, recorded processes. Your adviser reviews the final wording. |
| Language of documents | Some documents may need Spanish or a regional language. We draft in English. Your adviser or translator confirms the local versions. |
GullyHR does not give legal advice. We design the HR process around a rule once your qualified local adviser has confirmed it.
