We have employees in the US and Canada, and use the system to manage all of our HR and Payroll needs. We like the ability for the employees to pick the health benefits they want, and also count on TriNet for all of the Vacation Time and other time-off trackings. I use the system frequently.

Our organization used TriNet as a platform to process payroll for the US staff. The head office is based in Australia as well as the finance team. Being in Australia, the finance team has little knowledge of the payroll requirements in the US. Being with TriNet has helped us to have insight on the US payroll compliances and they are a chat away when assistance is needed. We've been using TriNet to process payroll only.

We use TriNet for our payroll, benefits, and 401k program. TriNet takes care of administering our benefits, which is a huge help to our company. They also manage our 401k program for our employees. Entering payroll in TriNet is fairly simple. I appreciate the fact that I can call them to get answers to my questions.

Best HRIS Hands Down.

TriNet automates our payroll, benefits, and leave administration HR needs. This frees me up to focus on coaching and recruiting employees. They provide timely guidance on HR situations and make employees more empowered to view and manage parts of their own HR journey. Additionally, their webinars and learning offerings make a great perk for my team. While I could do my job without a partner like TriNet, it would not be as easy or as seamless.

We use TriNet as our PEO. As an employer across multiple states, we really needed to find a solution that works across the entire United States. We tried managing this ourselves initially but spent more time tracking down filings for all of the states we were in than actually doing work. We knew we needed to find a solution. We tried a few others but TriNet really met all of our needs.

I used TriNet's ATS and HRIS. As the Talent Acquisition Partner (Recruiter), I used TriNet to keep records of all candidates as they moved through the hiring process. I have worked with ATS systems and TriNet has a lot of work to do to make it user-friendly. I had to continuously train the hiring managers every time we opened up a new request because it is hard to maneuver through the software during the hiring process and to make sure the entire hiring team is on the same page. I had a lot on my plate as the only recruiter in the company and this just added more to my plate. I would also like to see a seamless transition between the ATS and the HRIS as you they go from candidate to new hire. As of right now, not everything transfers.

We use Trinet primarily for HR and payroll. Trinet allows us as a small company to take advantage of benefits including health insurance and 401K investments with the power of a large corporation for pricing and discounts. Trinet has been incredible for handling the variety of rules and regulations of multiple states since we are a virtual company. We also use the financial piece primarily for staff reimbursements.

We utilize TriNet for all HR needs, such as payroll, time off, performance management, onboarding, recruitment, benefits, training and more. As a small company with under 50 employees, it is simple enough to utilize on a daily basis, and gives the proper guidance in regards to compliance needs. The system is user friendly and my account manager contact generally answers any questions the same day. Our plan is to grow and it is nice to know TriNet does offer enhancements such as training materials and time and attendance platform for when we have more employees who may be non-exempt and have to utilize clocking in and out.

I'm currently using Trinet as my PEO. As a new start-up entity in the USA, I was looking to select a PEO partner which is able to help me grow the team here. My key requirement is full end to end services for the PEO partner and Trinet fits the need well

HR platform for the company. Payroll. Benefits. We do not use the retirement package offered by TriNet. But TriNet deducts payroll earmarked for retirement. We show vacation days, but we use the predecessor system for managing user allotment.

We are a small Software R&D company with employees based in many different states in the US and with a very lean HR Structure. We were looking for a partner that could help us with HR best practices, and also how we could offer the best possible benefits to our employees. And today I can affirm that TriNet is by far the best option we have found. Positive aspects: Excellent payroll platform for full-time and part-time employees [with] access to excellent health benefits. Similar or superior [options] to those offered by *very large* software companies. Excellent access to customer service for any topic related to payroll, benefits, etc. [It provides] seamless integration with [a] 401k benefits provider [that is] VERY Cost-efficient for the employer. Our employees absolutely love TriNet [for] the online/mobile experience as well as the benefits we can offer through TriNet.

Perfect for New Hires

My current company uses TriNet across the organization as a hub for information on employee benefits, company information, paychecks/pay dates, and training courses among other various features. As a recently onboarded employee, TriNet was used to review new hire documentation as well as fill out the necessary government documentation needed for a new job. This platform presents "tasks" to the employee to be completed and marks what has been done, what needs to be done, and what is still in a pending status.
