Essential Services for a Stronger Workplace

We design people-friendly HR policies and procedures (your employee handbook) that guide your team with clarity and keep you fully aligned with Irish employment law. From absence management to disciplinary processes, your managers will have the frameworks to act fairly and consistently.

We draft and review employment contracts that comply with the Terms of Employment (Information) Acts and wider employment law. From fixed-term and part-time agreements to probation clauses and post-termination restrictive covenants, every contract is built to protect your business and provide clarity for your people.

If you’re the senior manager who somehow ended up responsible for HR on top of everything else — or you have an HR person in place who occasionally needs expert back-up — you’ll know this feeling… An employee raises something difficult on a Friday afternoon and you’re not sure what you’re supposed to do next. PurpleTree gives you a real HR expert to call on. No jargon, no judgement, just clear, practical advice grounded in Irish employment law and tailored to your situation.

HR:Duo is our intelligent HR software, included with every package. It automates leave management, centralises digital document storage, and gives employees self-service access to payslips, policies, and time tracking. With built-in compliance dashboards and a mobile app, HR administration becomes effortless.

Facing a grievance, disciplinary issue, or redundancy is one of the most challenging moments in any employer’s journey. Get it wrong and you’re exposed to costly unfair dismissal claims, and serious reputational damage. Get it right — with PurpleTree by your side — and you can navigate even the most sensitive situations with confidence and compliance.

With PurpleTree by your side, difficult decisions don’t have to mean sleepless nights.

We help Irish SMEs meet their obligations under the Data Protection Act 2018 and EU GDPR. From drafting data protection policies and handling subject access requests to managing breach notification procedures, our team ensures your employee data handling is fully compliant.

Most employment disputes don’t come out of nowhere — the warning signs were there long before a WRC complaint landed in your inbox. The real question is: did you spot them in time?

PurpleTree helps you get ahead of the problem. We review your contracts, policies, and employment practices to find the gaps before they become grievances, claims, or headlines. Think of it as a health check for your business — one that could save you thousands in legal costs and months of management headaches.

Fair pay isn’t just good practice — increasingly, it’s the law. With gender pay gap reporting and new pay transparency rules, you need a clear, consistent approach to how roles are valued and what people are paid. We build grading structures and pay frameworks that are fair, easy to explain, and able to withstand scrutiny — giving you confidence in your compensation decisions and keeping you on the right side of the law.
