HRSC has delivered outsourced HR and employment law services since 2011, and Tyne and Wear sits inside our fully staffed North East coverage. Rather than one county-wide service, we operate a town-by-town model: every centre listed on this page has its own adviser coverage, its own local wage and travel picture, and its own page setting out what HR outsourcing looks like there.
Use this hub to compare the towns and cities we cover in Tyne and Wear, then jump to the specific location page for local detail where your people actually work.

Counties are boundary units, not economic ones. Tyne and Wear contains several distinct labour markets, and the HR problems that come to our helpline change noticeably between them.
City-centre centres such as Arthur's Hill. Higher business density means more competitive staff turnover, more formal grievance and disciplinary activity, and closer exposure to employment tribunal claims simply because headcounts are bigger. Employment contracts, staff handbooks and a defensible disciplinary process carry most of the weight here.
Commuter towns across the rest of Tyne and Wear. Employers are typically smaller, with no dedicated in-house HR function. The recurring issues are absence management, holiday pay for irregular-hours workers, and getting a compliant set of contracts in place before a problem escalates.
Outlying employers. Seasonal demand, agricultural and hospitality patterns, and recruitment difficulty drive the workload. Variable-hours compliance under ERA 2025 matters disproportionately.
Travel-to-work flows. Staff frequently move between Tyne and Wear and the wider North East economy. That shapes pay benchmarking, hybrid working expectations and how workable a change to contractual terms actually is.

Our Tyne and Wear service is fixed-price and starts at £200 per month. No part of it is priced per call, so the cost does not move in the month you actually need it.
- HR Protect: employment law advice, contracts and staff handbooks, including insurance-backed tribunal indemnity.
- H&S Protect: health and safety compliance, hazard assessments and policies.
- Total Protect: both, rolled together for multi-site Tyne and Wear operators.
Typical UK outsourced HR pricing sits between £20 and £50 per employee per month; SME retainers generally land between £100 and £500. Because our cover is insurance-backed, we review your current HR paperwork before quoting rather than posting a single county-wide price.
What a Tyne and Wear retainer includes
- Contracts of employment kept in step with the Employment Rights Act 2025.
- Staff handbooks written to your sector and site mix across Tyne and Wear.
- Redundancy, TUPE and restructuring project work.
- Tribunal representation with insurance-backed indemnity.
- Absence management, holiday pay and flexible working requests.
- Recruitment, onboarding and performance management assistance.
- A 24/7 helpline for crisis situations that will not wait for office hours.
- HR software: absence tracking, document storage with e-signatures and a mobile app.
Every Tyne and Wear client gets the tri-adviser model of a named HR adviser, a documentation specialist and a legal adviser, rather than a rotating queue.

Choosing between a county-wide and a town-level service
If you run from one site, go straight to that location page: it sets out the local wage picture, sector mix and nearby coverage. If you run across several Tyne and Wear sites, the county-level retainer is normally the better arrangement, giving you one adviser team, one handbook framework and consistent procedure across all your location, which counts the moment a multi-site redundancy or TUPE transfer starts.
Locations we currently cover in Tyne and Wear include Arthur's Hill and Newcastle upon Tyne and others listed below.
