Why Irish SMEs Choose 24/7 HR Services

Hiring an in-house HR person costs money and time that many small organisations cannot spare. Outsourced HR gives you the same support and peace of mind without the overhead of a full human resource management team.

HR outsourcing gives business owners the following:

  • Qualified HR support services the moment a workforce problem starts
  • Fewer mistakes that lead to WRC claims or litigation
  • Contracts and policies that meet Irish employment law
  • More time to run the business and focus less on day-to-day HR processes

Well-run HR protects your biggest asset: your people. It also protects you as the employer.

What Your 24/7 HR Services Include

The wide range of services covers the core HR functions that every employer needs. Each part is built around the specific needs of your business, not a template.

Dedicated HR Advisor

You get one named HR advisor who learns your business. They handle your queries and know your history. No call centre, and no starting over each time you ring.

Contracts of Employment

We draft employment contracts customised for each job. They are written with legal input and are compliant with Irish employment law. Every clause fits how your business runs.

Employee Handbook

We build an employee handbook that sets out your policies and procedures. It gives staff clear rules and gives you a document to rely on. One common misconception is worth clearing up here: a handbook does not add to employee rights.

24/7 HR Advice Line

You can reach an HR advisor 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Clients can call us outside normal office hours and still get an answer. Urgent staff issues get handled fast.

Staff and workplace problems can arise at any hour, and the right advice at the right moment protects your business. With 24/7 HR services from The HR Company, you get a dedicated Irish advisor, tailored documents, and round-the-clock support built for how you actually work.

Call us at +353 1 291 1850 or fill in the contact form, and one of our HR advisors will be in touch.

    How does 24/7 HR Support Work?

    We assist by providing you with your own HR department at the end of the phone. One dedicated advisor takes your call, day or night, and works through the issue with you.

    The process is simple. You ring or email us with an HR query. Your advisor gives practical advice based on Irish employment law. If you need a contract, policy, or letter, they draft it for you. Tricky issues get worked through in stages until they are sorted.

    Because your advisor knows your business, you skip the long explanations. That saves time when a problem needs a fast response.

    HR Areas Your Advisor Supports

    Your HR advisor supports the full range of employer issues with expertise. You get clear guidance on daily matters and on the hard decisions too.

    The common HR areas that are covered include:

    • Grievance and disciplinary procedures
    • Redundancy and termination
    • Bullying, harassment, and conflict at work
    • WRC dealings and employment law compliance
    • Constructive and unfair dismissal disputes
    • Leave, including maternity, paternity, parental, sick, and carer’s leave
    • Performance management and health, safety, and wellbeing obligations

    Whatever the issue, your HR consultant helps you manage it the right way and keeps you compliant.

    Why Choose an Irish-owned HR Provider

    The HR Company is 100% Irish-owned and based in Sandyford, Dublin. The team knows Irish employment law because they work in it every day.

    The firm was founded by Philip Carney, former Head of Human Resources at Microsoft’s European Operations Centre (EMEA), and Angela O’Grady, former Recruitment Manager at Microsoft’s European Operations Centre. Today, The HR Company supports more than 1,200 businesses across Ireland. Your advisor gives you strategic HR help rooted in local rules, not a template built for another country in another region.

    That local knowledge matters. Irish contracts, WRC procedures, and employment law differ from other markets. You get advice built for where your business actually operates.

    Trusted by Irish Employers

    Irish employers rely on The HR Company to handle sensitive workplace matters and keep them compliant.

    The HR Company is the registered trading name of Business 2 Enterprise Limited, CRO #331616, Dublin.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Yes, it is. You can reach an HR advisor 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Staff issues rarely follow a 9 to 5 schedule, so the advice line stays open outside normal working hours. If something urgent comes up at night or over a weekend, you still get a practical answer. Your dedicated advisor knows your business, so you skip the long back story and get to the point quickly.

    You are matched with one named HR advisor who learns your business and stays as your main point of contact. There is no call centre and no repeating your story to a new person each time. Your advisor handles your queries, drafts your documents, and keeps track of your history with the company. Over time they get to know how your business runs, which makes their advice faster and better suited to you.

    The HR Company supports employers only. Our service is built to protect your business and help you meet your duties under Irish employment law so that your business can thrive. That means our advice always sits on the employer side, whether you are drafting a contract, running a disciplinary process, or dealing with a WRC claim. You get guidance built around your interests as the business owner or manager, not split between both sides of the table.

    It depends on the issue, but urgent matters are handled fast. The advice line runs 24 hours a day, so you are not left waiting until the next working day when something serious happens. Your dedicated advisor already knows your business and its history, which helps to skip explaining everything from scratch. For quick queries, a phone call is often enough to sort it there and then.

    You get the core documents every Irish employer needs. That includes contracts of employment, an employee handbook, and HR policies and letters. Each one is tailored to your business rather than pulled from a generic template. Contracts are written with legal input and meet Irish employment law. Your handbook sets out clear policies and procedures for staff. If a new situation calls for a fresh document, your advisor drafts it for you.

    Yes. Your HR advisor guides you through WRC dealings and helps you prepare. They know how Workplace Relations Commission procedures work in Ireland and advise you at each stage. The goal is to reduce your risk and help you meet your obligations as an employer. Because your advisor already knows your business, they can act quickly if a claim arises. Sound HR records and processes put you in a far stronger position.

    Our partnership with The HR Company is on a different level of professionalism than we have ever experienced with an HR service provider. They make sure we are in order when it comes to our biggest asset – our employees, and they customise their services to fit our needs. This is critical for our non-profit organisation.
