Payroll, benefits, and compliance in multi-state environment. The product addresses our ability to offer strong benefits to employees and the ability to complete a multi-state payroll with ease, without having to worry about multi-state tax registrations. We're extremely distributed, so TriNet is able to handle all payroll, benefits, and compliance concerns with ease.
  • Multi-State Payroll
  • Benefits Administration
  • I'd like to see them offer an ASO (Administrative Services Only) model for clients moving away from a PEO (professional employer organization).
  • Workday integration.
TriNet is great, but their fees are very high and there are solutions out there that are less expensive. Once you reach a certain number of employees, PEOs are necessarily the best option, especially due to the cost.

Human Resources - primarily payroll and benefits

Particularly helpful as we have a team comprised of both in-person and remote employees located across the United States. Our TriNet team has been able to assist with the nuances of each state and offer advice as we develop our operations processes, employee handbook, and benefits offerings.
  • Managing Remote Teams
  • Nuisances of each states legal requirements
  • Ease of payroll processing
  • Reporting
  • Customer support is good, but response times are lacking
  • Dedicated support specialists for smaller organizations
  • Ways to compare benefit offerings - but I also heard this may be coming
TriNet is best suited when your team is a bit larger (over 25 people) with a dedicated person for HR. Small companies may feel like they don't get the support they need and a person new to HR may be overwhelmed trying to find answers or get the necessary support. The features are great, but the support could be improved.

TriNet is used for payroll purposes and onboarding
  • Dashboard is user friendly
  • Most items are easy to update for Admins
  • Reporting feature is helpful
  • The system should allow Admins to update leave information without sending an email
  • The leave department itself could use training on regulations and overall customer service skills
  • The dashboard should update employees with custom details added to their records
As HR for the company, there were numerous instances of delays, miscommunications and overall incorrect guidance mainly from the Leave Department. I would not recommend TriNet if what I experienced is the standard for customer service.

We use TriNet as our PEO with a scope that includes payroll, employee benefits, time-tracking, among other things. The major business problems that I was hoping TriNet would address as we switched from ADP (please note that we have only been with TriNet for approximately seven months) were skyrocketing health care premiums, employee relations issues, issues of implementation, and assistance with ongoing tax issues that were the fault of ADP and not our organization. When we switched, we were happy to find an absolute bevy of healthcare options that were much more appropriate to our needs at better pricing, but the other issues are ongoing.
  • They are very good at compliance, almost problematically so.
  • The open enrollment and benefits renewal processes are excellent.
  • Their employees are very kind and responsive.
  • The portal is often problematic: time-tracking has little to no flexibility; notifications on the dashboard never. go. away.; getting anything updated or implemented can take forever; and there are a lot of things in the payroll process that make absolutely no sense whatsoever (i.e. not being able to verify, even at an approximation, what the pay for an employee is on their final payroll after termination until the payroll has already been approved and processed.)
  • Administrators are entirely unable to make adjustments to employees in the system without strict oversight by TriNet. It is rather absurd considering that there has to be some amount of shared responsibility there.
  • TriNet reps told us what we wanted to hear in getting us to switch to their service. When we finally did switch, there was not nearly enough onboarding, and a few things that we were told would be possible were, in fact, not possible.
I think there is potential for improvement, and I do believe that they take my feedback seriously, which is really important to me. I've used a lot of PEOs, but this experience has been quite frustrating. The portal is much less clunky than we had with ADP, but it is also (ironically) much less user-friendly in my experience. And for quite awhile after we first switched to TriNet, it was difficult to get any help that led to real action.

We use Trinet for our payroll processing, Medical and Dental Benefits, 401K, and HR for assistance. I have been with my company for over 4 years and the company has been using Trinet since 2016. The online processing is simple along with the onboarding of new employees. Of all the payroll companies I have used in other jobs this one is simple and straightforward. They answer questions as they arise. Very professional with their clients. Trinet being a PEO company is best to use as the HR laws are cumbersome and keep changing. They have all the tools we need available to use. They take care of the taxes and reporting. Their reports are simple to use and during PPP they had sample reports to use and enter our information. They keep their clients apprised of new laws or changes for HR or Payroll.
  • Payroll processing
  • Communication via email with their clients
  • payroll reports
  • Benefit process
  • onboarding new hire
  • Vacation and sick leave tracking etc
  • To have some reports readily available like SOC
  • Workers comp reporting to have access in the reports
  • Cobra information if former employees opt-in having that information available in the reports section would help
Their platform is simple to use and user-friendly. Administrators have access to employee info which is good. All reports are in the reports section and you can customize the reports to fit your payroll periods and what you want to see on the reports. They have custom reports you can build your own. I have not tried it yet. It can integrate with your accounting software depending on which one you use. Yet it will not work for all clients if they have more than one Chart of account numbers for their payroll in their accounting system. So having that to work for clients on how they break down their payroll in the system would be helpful, for example, expenses. In payroll, it is entered as 1 number, but that one number in the expense report employees submit tends to be broken down to more than one Chart of Account. So that integration with clients' accounting software would not help.

TriNet is something I use every day for our company, from processing payroll to updating all employee files. The knowledge center has amazing resources. We have been able to use the handbook wizard to create our company's handbook and make sure it is very comprehensive. The customer support that we have with TriNet is top-notch. They always are available to assist, and if they don't have the answer, they will reach back out to you. I think every company should invest in this platform.
  • Payroll
  • Handbook wizard.
  • excellent customer service.

TriNet has assisted with the new company handbook for our company, and not only do they have an amazing handbook wizard, but they also provide us with an HR resource agent who is amazing and available whenever I need assistance. We also have a payroll specialist who can assist with all payroll issues as they arise.

We work with TriNet as our HR system. TriNet makes it easy to stay in compliance when we have employees scattered around the U.S. and different state compliances to be in line with. We also use TriNet to pay our employees as well as capture Time off and Expense reports. The expense reporting is much easier to gather data with and get approvals.
  • Expense Reporting.
  • Compliance.
  • HR Notices.
  • Time Off has been finnicky. Currently, our entire staff shows negative time for sick time accruals.
  • The dashboard can be used in Dark mode, but the accessibility doesn't work in Dark Mode.
  • The UI can be clunky.
Trinet is very well suited to handle a variety of time-consuming HR tasks, making them easier and faster. The Money section works well. The time off section has bugs. Notifications could use some work as there is no way to mark notices as read in the interface and the notification doesn't go away.

We are a small business that uses TriNet for payroll and benefits for our employees. TriNet services make labor management both time and cost effective. TriNet offers a number of HR and benefits tools and features including PTO, health insurance, 401(k) plans, life and disability insurance, etc. The onboarding process is simple and allows a smooth transition for new employees to become engaged.
  • Payroll tracking and auditing, salary revision and increment management
  • Benefit synopsis
  • Providing employee and company reports
  • I would love to have one person to contact (account manager per say) that can point me in the right direction with any issue that arises.
  • Provide client notice of any charges/fees in a reasonable timeframe.
For the most part, TriNet has been responsive to our company's needs as a whole. However, there has been times when no response on certain issues have been addressed. I am still waiting for response on a 401K issue from December.
I would love to have hyperlinks for the different departments within TriNet readily available on the dashboard.

I think that TriNet really adapts to scale. So organizations of any size can utilize it effectively. I think that TriNet will be most effective for small sized businesses, medium sized businesses, and not for profit organizations. The way that TriNet bundles all of its features into one easy to access package is absolutely remarkable.

Our primary use is payroll. We are currently evaluating using it for its HRIS features such as; Recruiting, time off, performance management, document management, onboarding/offboarding...
  • Payroll processing is simple
  • Updates to federal/state/local requirements are conveyed to us via email.
  • Access to webinars and training are good.
  • Customer service from dedicated rep - Responses not timely, unclear responses, no follow up or confirmation from rep. Often times I need to follow up several times on emails. My rep has never picked up the phone when I called, or returned messages I've left. Lack of expertise in my opinion.
  • Text and phone support should be available for basic questions and they should have more knowledge so responses are available quickly. For general questions that I chat in or phone customer service about, they will simply create a ticket that goes back to my rep and then I still have to follow up to try and get assistance.
  • Training (such as performance reviews) should be recorded so that we can rewatch them. If there are concerns about changes affecting the info, there should be several disclaimers explaining that this information can change at any time and that it's highly suggested to watch the video within the next month of the recording date, for example.
From my experience, TriNet is not user friendly or intuitive. In many cases, I feel it is not straightforward and there is a lot of red tape to make simple changes. We are often running into situations when we can't get something to work, due to permissions, which need to be adjusted by TriNet. Simple things like changing the name of a location.

We are a small startup with a team of around ten employees. TriNet offers incredible support and tools for us to provide to our employees. We are able to get the help we need when we need it. We are also able to understand what is considered competitive in benefit markets. The only downside is the platform is quite expensive compared to others that offer the same or better

Prior to me being in my position and managing our TriNet site, the person in my position failed to properly document the relocation of an employee from one state to another. TriNet was very responsive whenever I brought it to their attention to get it handled. However, once they recognised the issue, it took months for the resolution to occur

We use it as our HRIS, applicant tracking system, payroll provider, benefits broker, and I'm sure some other things that I can't think of off the top of my head! Our headquarters are located in a different country and our team in the US is small, so we have a limited number of employees on each team. I'm an HR department of one, so having the support of TriNet on the administrative side of things has been great so that I can also focus on the strategic side of my job.
  • Responsive support team, chats are answered quickly and the staff on the phone are easy to work with as well.
  • Payroll is easy, I just have to make sure that time off requests are approved in time, but if they're not they are easily added to the next payroll.
  • They make sure that we stay in compliance with all local, state, and federal laws and ordinances.
  • Building reports is not intuitive, especially the filter features. Most of the time I create a report that has way too much information and I have to go through and delete what I don't need.
  • As an HR professional, it's tough not being able to do some things myself - like adjusting PTO hours if needed. Though I understand that many companies using TriNet may not have anyone in HR or people without a lot of experience, so it is ultimately to protect their clients.
If a company has a small or non-existent HR department, TriNet will be useful since they make sure your business is in compliance with federal, state, and local laws. If you don't have someone dedicated to payroll, they handle it and make it really easy. If you have a small team in general, in particular one that has employees in multiple states, it's great to be part of their benefits since you don't have to worry about only getting one expensive option and/or having to do something convoluted in order to make sure that team members in different states have health benefits that work for them. All employees in any state are offered a variety of coverage options and different price points.

We use TriNet for payroll, for benefits, and employment verification.
  • Payroll for multiple states
  • EE onboarding to platform is easy
  • Chat times out too quickly. I'm still typing my Question and I have the orange banner up telling 10 sec left.
  • Better turnaround time on questions. If an item is escalated, forget it. It takes days to weeks to get an answer. (If Chat people know, then all is good)
  • Integrate with our 401K provider, Fidelity, so that process is automated.
Small company who can afford to spend on this service (you're not cheap!). To have payroll and benefits on 1 platform is beneficial to the employee. Really nice when you're dealing with multiple states with different rules and tax rates. I thought there would be more client services when an EE has a question on benefits. Often they're just told to call BCBS, who wants to be on hold with them?

We use TriNet for processing payroll and providing benefits to our employees. We also use it for HR functionality. As a very small company with less than 10 employees, TriNet allows us to have the bargaining power of a much larger company and enables us to provide very competitive benefits to our employees. It also allows us to maintain a small team since TriNet can assist in areas where we do not currently have a dedicated team lead - such as for HR.
  • Benefits Administration
  • Assistance with reduction in force and all appropriate state and federal paperwork
  • Ease of processing payroll
  • It is sometimes difficult to find the appropriate report I'd like to run in Workforce Analytics
  • Afterhours support on chat would be very beneficial
TriNet has been a gamechanger for our company. We use TriNet for payroll, benefits, and HR support and it has made things significantly easier for our internal team. Processing payroll is very straight forward and reminders are posted in the platform so there is never a risk of missing the submission. TriNet also engages directly with employees when it is benefits open enrollment time -- our employees then select and register for benefits on their own. The only area I wish we had better support is with after-hours chat support. Some of our team members work outside of the US occasionally, so time zones can be complicated with getting live support.

we primarily use TriNet for payroll, benefits and retirement (401k). it is also our ATS and HIRS. Its great to have a 1 stop shop for everything. The platform isn't as in-depth as we would sometimes like but we work around that. As an example we have to have custom reports built for us rather than us having the ability to log in and create them ourselves.

Overall the support is great but there are some areas we don't use because we have the service in-house
  • state final pay compliance - we have employees in every state and it is nice to be able to rely on the fact that we are always compliant when people leave
  • Leave administration - I love not having to manage employees leaves
  • VOE - I love that we could give away VOE's. Simply scan and send to TriNet
  • a better ATS - the current functionality is very limited. For an organization our size we more "power". I like to be able to run custom reports from the ATS as an example
  • Reporting - there's a stack of standard reports but we need and want custom
  • stop changing the layout. We don't care about the layout its the content that matters. get rid of the turtles or hippos or whatever they are
  • Manager access. Let us give managers access to their employees info without having access to EVERYONE
  • Be honest. If you cant do something, you cant do it. Let us know so we can make other plans and move on
  • "I'll put a ticket in" = this is where your dreams go to fade away. See above
Its tough to say. Would I recommend it to a company of our size, no. Would I recommend it to a small business, maybe 10 - 50 employees, yes.

Theres no workflow. We can have managers initiate a change it has to be done by us... manually... *yawn*

We use the Payroll PEO services for two separate entities. TriNet's PEO platform allowed our companies to save approximately 36% on health insurance costs, which we are then able to reinvest into our employees. We will also be rolling our 401K to TriNet in 2024.<br>TriNet serves as our direct HR department
  • Timely customer service
  • Employee compliance support

We are a new start-up company back to 2018. TriNet is very helpful to set up payroll, payroll tax filing and deal with some HR matters via their platform. As a result, we don't need to hire full-time employees to take care of payroll and HR. It's cost efficient. Also, TriNet's platform is user-friendly with high standard of cybersecurity. In addition, TriNet is very responsive when we encountered new issues, such as maternity leave policy and process. We stronly recommend TriNet if you are considering of outsourcing payroll and HR to a third-party service provider.

When the employee left the company, Trinet can help deal with all employee termination matters with such employee, which saved the employer a great deal of time.

Trinet has the capability to manage large, diverse organizations and, as a result, is robust and comprehensive in its offerings. Having said that we use it as a small-sized company and use a relatively small amount of its offerings. Despite this, they have continued to be competitive with other brokers and programs and have always done what they needed to see that our needs are met.
  • Quick processing.
  • Simplicity of platform.
  • Listening to needs of the user.
  • Timeclock is not directly integrated...yet.
  • Sometimes they stick to policy too rigidly.
  • You have to maintain your awareness of increases in rates.
Trinet is good for large or small companies in that it offers an array of services for both. There are many items a small company may not use, but the things you want and NEED in any sized company it does exceptionally well.

TriNet platform is used almost on an everyday basis by our company to submit PTO requests, expenses submission, track PTO balances, submit payroll and extract reports. The portal is very user-friendly.
  • Payroll Submission
  • Submit expenses for reimbursement
  • PTO Requests via the portal
  • Expense Tool can be a little bit more user-friendly with navigation made easier
  • TriNet App can be simplified for everyone to be able to access on their phones
The staff at TriNet are super friendly and helpful. They help us with resolving any issues or concerns immediately. I have never had such fabulous experience with any other PEO providers I have worked with before. I highly recommend TriNet to everyone that is looking to switch their PEO provider.

TriNet is our PEO for our US Based Employees. It handles all of our Payroll and HR admin items
  • Support is readily available
  • Platform is feature rich
  • Support employees across all states
  • Platform is at times less intuitive than other modern HR systems
  • Paperwork required for adding a new state or any organizational change (e.g. acquisition) is needlessly complicated and out of 2000 (PDF forms galore)
Less institutive than other modern HR platforms but it works for a company our size. Once you are large enough the fees will become a real issue.
