  • Reduced time spent on administrative tasks.

  • TriNet initially supported us seamlessly and fit our needs until we reach about 175 employees. Then the needs of our business required more flexibility which TriNet could not provide. We are almost 450 employees now.
  • Payroll has always been a great motivator for us to be on TriNet.
  • Our internal auditors cannot get the reports or appropriate info from TriNet.

  • Time spent with the administration has increased over 300%, just dealing with Trinet issues.
  • Compliance risks have increased substantially with Trinet, as they do not provide tools or time for appropriate reviews.

  • TriNet has simplified the New Enrollment/Open Enrollment process. Prior to TriNet we managed this process manually. Now employees enroll online; TriNet calculates the monthly premium costs and those costs automatically feed into payroll. They also conduct the open enrollment meetings saving us time.
  • TriNet has been super helpful with compliance and tracking for employee time off during COVID. We need only enter the time off through their system and they calculate the 6 month prior earnings. They created a COVID 19 Resource site within their system. Again, easy to use and helpful.
  • Leaves in California can be quite confusing. TriNet does a fantastic job of leave management. Forms are available on the HR Passport site for employees to access. We (in HR) need only input the leave request information and TriNet tracks and sends out the necessary employee notifications. They will also send reminders to verify if the employee has returned.

  • Improving in HR compliance. Having someone to reach out to for counsel is nice.
  • We pay 100% of employee medical premiums and we save a lot of money switching to TriNet.
  • The TriNet reference library has been a great feature to find information or use templates.

  • TriNet has allowed us to stay within budget and streamline our payroll and benefits to one primary vendor.
  • TriNet has caused frustration in not being able to have all our information in one place (no ability to upload data) and costs are high for ancillary services (AAP for example).
  • TriNet has given us access back to Jackson Lewis, a trusted resource for Employment Law.
