HRSC has delivered outsourced HR and employment law services since 2011, and Somerset sits inside our live South West coverage. Rather than a single county-wide service, we run a town-by-town model: every location 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 weigh up the towns and cities we cover in Somerset, then jump to the specific location page for pricing where your people actually work.

Counties are statistical units, not workforce ones. Somerset contains a number of quite different labour markets, and the HR issues that come to our helpline change noticeably between them.
City-centre centres such as Axbridge. Higher employer density means more competitive staff turnover, more formal grievance and disciplinary activity, and sharper exposure to employment tribunal claims simply because headcounts are bigger. Contracts, staff handbooks and a auditable disciplinary process do most of the weight here.
Commuter towns across the rest of Somerset. Businesses are typically owner-managed, with no in-house HR resource. The pressure points are sickness management, holiday pay for irregular-hours workers, and getting a first set of contracts in place before a problem arrives.
Outlying employers. Fluctuating demand, land-based and hospitality rotas, and hiring difficulty drive the workload. Guaranteed-hours compliance under ERA 2025 matters disproportionately.
Commuting flows. Staff often move between Somerset and neighbouring areas. That shapes pay benchmarking, hybrid working expectations and how realistic a change to contractual terms actually is.

Our Somerset service is fixed-price and starts at £200 per month. No element of it is priced per call, so the cost does not spike in the month you actually have to use it.
- HR Protect: employment law advice, contracts and staff handbooks, with insurance-backed tribunal indemnity.
- H&S Protect: health and safety compliance, hazard assessments and policies.
- Total Protect: both, combined for multi-site Somerset 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 assess your current HR paperwork before quoting rather than publishing a single county-wide price.
What a Somerset retainer includes
- Contracts of employment kept in step with the Employment Rights Act 2025.
- Staff handbooks written to your sector and site mix across Somerset.
- Redundancy, TUPE and restructuring support.
- Tribunal representation with insurance-backed protection.
- Absence management, holiday pay and hybrid working requests.
- Recruitment, onboarding and performance management assistance.
- A 24/7 helpline for walkouts situations that will not wait for office hours.
- HR software: absence tracking, document storage with e-signatures and a mobile app.
Every Somerset client gets the tri-adviser model of a named HR adviser, a documentation specialist and a legal adviser, rather than a shared queue.

Choosing between a county-wide and a town-level service
If you operate from a single site, go straight to that location page: it covers the local wage picture, sector mix and nearby coverage. If you operate across several Somerset sites, the county-level retainer is generally 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 lands.
Locations we currently cover in Somerset include Axbridge, Bath and Clevedon and others listed below.
