HRSC has run outsourced HR and workforce law services since 2011. Yorkshire and the Humber is one of our live regions, with adviser coverage across East Riding of Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.
A region is not granular enough a unit to price or plan HR on its own, because the operational work happens county by county and town by town. What a region does reveal is the shape of the labour market you are hiring into, and that is worth understanding before you settle on an HR model.

Business mix. Our Yorkshire and the Humber coverage runs across East Riding of Yorkshire, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire, where employer profiles are markedly different, ranging from high-density commercial centres at one end to rural employers at the other. Around 151,075 businesses sit inside the 17 towns and cities we cover, and the overwhelming majority are SMEs with no dedicated in-house HR function.
Where claims come from. Tribunal exposure in Yorkshire and the Humber concentrates in the same three areas it does nationally: dismissal following a undocumented process, discrimination claims arising from performance decisions, and holiday pay disputes involving irregular-hours staff. The difference between a defensible case and an expensive one is nearly always the paperwork that existed before the dispute started.
Recruitment and retention. Larger parts of Yorkshire and the Humber compete hard on pay and flexibility; smaller towns compete on stability. Getting pay benchmarking and flexible working policy wrong in either direction is one of the most common and most expensive mistakes we're asked to unpick.
Cross-boundary working. Staff routinely commute between counties inside Yorkshire and the Humber. That affects place-of-work clauses, travel-time pay and how workable a proposed change to terms actually is.

Get a free consultationWhat ERA 2025 changed for Yorkshire and the Humber employers
The Employment Rights Act 2025 reworked several assumptions that older contracts and handbooks were built on:
- Day-one statutory sick pay. The waiting period is gone; absence policies written before 2025 are non-compliant.
- Reduced unfair dismissal qualifying period. Now six months, which sharply widens the pool of staff who can bring a claim.
- Guaranteed-hours obligations. Variable and zero-hours arrangements need restructuring: this hits hospitality, retail, care and logistics employers across Yorkshire and the Humber hardest.
- Expanded flexible working duties. Refusals now need a documented business case.
Every one of these forces a contract and handbook change, not just a policy note. That is the single most common reason Yorkshire and the Humber employers come to us.
What our Yorkshire and the Humber service includes
- Employment contracts and staff handbooks kept current with legislation.
- Redundancy, TUPE and restructuring support across multi-site operations.
- Tribunal representation with insurance-backed indemnity cover.
- Absence, holiday pay, disciplinary and grievance handling.
- Recruitment, onboarding and performance management support.
- Health and safety compliance where you need it.
- 24/7 helpline for urgent matters, plus HR software with absence tracking, e-signature document storage and a mobile app.
Fixed monthly fees start at £200. Every client gets a named HR adviser, a documentation specialist and a legal adviser rather than a shared queue.

Regional, county or town-level support?
If you have one site, start with your town's page: it covers local wage expectations, sector mix and nearby coverage. If you operate across several towns in one county, the county hub is the right level. If you have sites in more than one Yorkshire and the Humber county, a regional retainer keeps a single handbook framework and one adviser team across all of them, which is what makes a multi-site redundancy or TUPE transfer manageable instead of chaotic.
