Get senior HR help straight from Ali Yoder, ensuring you know where your HR compliance stands, what to fix first in employee relations, and who to call next for support on Fractional HR or outsourced HR consulting.
Latitude HR Group is an outsourced HR and fractional HR firm located in Oldham County, Kentucky, catering to growing businesses with approximately 10 to 250 employees that lack dedicated HR personnel. Owner Ali Yoder, who possesses over 20 years of HR leadership experience mainly within the manufacturing sector, works directly with clients to enhance employee relations and ensure HR compliance. We proudly serve the Louisville area, Southern Indiana, and clients across the nation with comprehensive HR consulting services.
Most of the owners, CFOs, and office managers I meet ended up with HR responsibilities in a similar way. With no one specifically hired or trained for employee relations, it often gets squeezed in between payroll, customers, and everything else. Many are turning to Fractional HR services or HR consulting for assistance to ensure HR compliance and alleviate some of the pressures of managing these critical functions amidst their other responsibilities, or they may even consider outsourced HR solutions.
Each gap looks small on its own, which is why it often gets pushed to next week. A missing write-up, a policy nobody follows, or a new state's rules that slipped past are examples of how HR compliance issues emerge. This is where many employee relations problems begin, long before anyone mentions a lawsuit. Engaging with a Fractional HR consultant or considering outsourced HR services can help address these overlooked details and enhance overall HR consulting efforts.
Many payroll platforms provide HR consulting as an add-on, turning every question into a ticket. With Latitude, you communicate directly with Ali, avoiding the hassles of a call center or scripted responses. This approach ensures you maintain control over your payroll platform and records, keeping your own final say without any co-employment issues. Plus, you benefit from effective employee relations and the flexibility of outsourced HR or Fractional HR services tailored to your needs, all while ensuring HR compliance.
Find it. It starts with a free 30-minute call to identify where your HR gaps might lie in terms of employee relations. From there, the process typically begins with an HR compliance audit, where I review your employee files, I-9s, handbook, pay practices, and required postings against federal and state law for every state in which you operate. This HR consulting step ensures that you're fully compliant with regulations, laying a solid foundation for your workforce management.
Rank it. You receive a plain-English report that categorizes each finding as high, moderate, or low risk, detailing potential costs and suggesting which issues to address first. There are no lengthy 90-page binders, and no surprises. We’ll walk through the employee relations report together, and it’s yours to keep. If any finding requires the expertise of an employment attorney, I’ll let you know.
Fix it. You can handle the issues yourself, or I can assist you, starting with the highest-risk areas, through my fractional HR services. This could include ongoing HR support or hourly assistance for the tasks you prefer to delegate. Let’s find the solution that best fits how you want to work.

For one specific problem, you may need an employee handbook tailored to your state's requirements and headcount, rather than relying on a generic template or someone else's copy. Alternatively, you can seek senior HR support through Fractional HR on one defined project, billed by the hour, to ensure HR compliance and optimize employee relations with expert HR consulting or Outsourced HR solutions.
For the business that seeks comprehensive support in HR, I serve as your outsourced HR department for a set number of hours each month. My HR consulting services include HR compliance, developing policies, fostering employee relations, conducting training and workshops, managing onboarding processes, facilitating hourly-role recruiting, and providing on-call HR support through fractional HR services.
At networking events, I kept hearing the same story from owners. Somebody was doing HR, and that somebody usually wasn't an HR expert. It was a light bulb moment, and it's why Latitude HR Group exists.
Before this, I spent 20+ years in HR leadership, most of it in manufacturing, including a decade in union plants. I've walked into a plant with almost no HR structure and built the processes, policies and documentation from scratch. HR is HR, and it's not my first rodeo.

We handle the HR work an owner or office manager has been doing on the side: policies and handbooks, employee issues, onboarding, hiring and keeping you in line with the rules for your states. Most clients start with an HR Audit so we fix the biggest gaps first.
Yes. While Latitude HR Group is based in Oldham County, Kentucky, we serve the Louisville area, Southern Indiana and clients nationwide. As needed on-site work is available in the Louisville area, and clients everywhere else are served virtually. HR Audits and Employee Handbooks cover every state you operate in.
Clients keep their own payroll platform, records and final say. There's no co-employment. You get senior HR help from Ali, not a call center or a script.
The consultation is free. HR Audits are flat-fee projects priced on your headcount and the number of states you operate in, and Employee Handbooks are priced by the number of states. Ongoing support is a monthly retainer, a project-based fee or hourly on an as-needed basis. I'll confirm your price after we talk.
That’s the goal! Every finding comes with its risk level, what it could cost and what to fix first, so you know exactly where to start. The report stays with you. You can work through the fixes yourself, or we can handle them with you through ongoing support or hourly work. I’m always happy to help!
No business is too small for HR law, and state law reaches small employers sooner than federal law does. Title VII applies at 15 employees. Kentucky anti-discrimination law applies at 8 employees for most claims (15 for disability and pregnancy), and Indiana anti-discrimination law applies at 6 employees. You probably don’t need someone in HR 40 hours a week. You need someone senior who knows where your gaps are and picks up the phone when the next question comes in.
It's a 30-minute call with me by phone or Teams video. We'll talk through how HR runs today and what's worth a closer look, and you'll know whether Latitude is the right fit. The call isn't an audit and it isn't legal advice.
