Free HR Audit: Stay Compliant & Protect Your Business

Stay fully compliant with Irish employment law and reduce HR risks with expert guidance from The HR Company.

Who You’ll Meet

One of our senior consultants reviews your current employment contracts, policies, and procedures to check that they meet legislative requirements, then talks you through their findings in plain language.

Why This Matters

Gaps in your HR documentation leave you exposed to disputes, fines, and reputational damage. We show you the gaps and explain why compliant paperwork protects your business.

What We Look At

We check your contracts, policies, working time records, and grievance procedures against current Irish law, then flag anything that needs attention before it becomes a claim.

What Our HR Audit Covers

Utilise our HR audit to eliminate the risk of paying out thousands in claims or fines.

  • Increased employee litigation means employers need to know Irish employment legislation inside out.

  • Insulate your business from large claims by fully complying with the relevant legislation.

  • To be compliant, you need all your processes in order, starting with the Contract of Employment. The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) is carrying out multiple investigations, and we can help assess your exposure so fines are avoided.

We also review your HR policies, employee handbook, working time and leave records, disciplinary and grievance procedures, health and safety, and GDPR compliance.

How the Process Works

 

We keep the audit process straightforward from first call to final report.

  • Initial consultation: We discuss your business and what you need from the audit.

  • Document and policy review: We review your contracts, policies, and employee records.

  • Gap analysis: We identify your exposure and explain why it matters.

  • Report and recommendations: You get a written report with a prioritised checklist to close the gaps.

Frequently asked questions

An HR audit is a structured review of your contracts, policies, and HR records, checked against Irish employment law and best practice. It shows your compliance status, identifies gaps, and prioritises fixes, all in a clear written report.

Our HR audit reviews your contracts of employment, HR policies and handbook, working time and leave records, and disciplinary and grievance procedures. We also check health and safety and GDPR compliance to make sure we don’t miss anything important.

You’ll get a written report showing where you’re compliant and where the gaps are, with practical steps to fix them. Our HR advisors can help you put those changes in place if you want ongoing support.

Yes. Irish employment law applies from your first employee, not your fiftieth. Smaller businesses often have less capacity to absorb the cost of a claim, so catching gaps early through an HR audit matters just as much, if not more.

An HR audit is a private review carried out for you and stays with you. An inspector carries out a WRC inspection and can request records and issue compliance notices. An audit makes sure you’re ready if that call ever comes.

Yes. An HR audit is an internal audit carried out for your business alone, and the report stays with you. It isn’t filed with any authority, so you can fix any gaps quietly before they become a bigger issue.

The main types are compliance audits, which check your HR processes against employment law, best practice audits, which compare you to industry standards, and function-specific audits, which focus on one area like recruitment or payroll. Our HR audit leads with compliance, since that carries the most legal risk for Irish employers.
