It is currently being used as a HRIS which also processes our payroll and benefits administration. Technically the entire organization is using it, but it is mainly being used for HR purposes. It helps to take a large load of work off of myself (HR) by doing the payroll and benefits administration.

Good product, good price, good people, bad website! However, I'll recommend the service because I don't think the other providers are better or have better prices for what I needed

We use TriNet as a department for Payroll and Benefits. It has simplified our payroll processing. Before using TriNet, we were using a different cloud software for payroll processing. The process was cumbersome and we had to do certain things manually. So we switched to TriNet to automatic processing and streamlined our process.

We use TriNet across our whole organization to manage our benefits, payroll, paid time off, leave, HR paperwork, and execute our retirement deferrals. TriNet also tracks and ensures that all employees complete the required state and federal training programs. It solves our need for a full-time HR expert. They have been excellent in providing services and decreasing the time it would have taken someone in our small organization to complete paperwork, research benefits offerings, file required paperwork, etc. Plus, having them on speed dial is a lot faster than looking up answers to employee questions on reputable sources such as SHRM.

We use TriNet to process payroll for two companies. We have our health benefits, 401k and HR support from TriNet. The managers in each department manage the staffs hours in time and attendance after the employees use either the clock or the app to enter their time. I use the platform to run all of our payroll, HR and interface reports.

We used TriNet to manage our payroll & benefits for the entire company. It provides support for a small company like us to easily manage payroll and distribute benefits, as well as assist in any HR problems/questions that may arise.

We are a small company, so TriNet is being used by only 2 people: 1 from HR and 1 from Finance. We currently use it for payroll, benefits, and government compliance. For a small company that has a small team of HR and Finance, we are able to outsource the tasks that would enable our company to provide benefits to our full-time employees. In addition, TriNet is a well-known company with years of experience, so we know our data is in good hands.

We have used TriNet for about 5 years, as we grew from 4 employees to 15 employees. TriNet's pitch is that they take care of all the details of having employees (from payroll to benefits, to compliance, etc.). To some extent, this is true—we didn't have to deal with many of those details at the beginning of our time with TriNet, however, at the end of 2020, they stopped offering a dedicated account service rep and all of our questions got sent to a giant mailbox where no one ever answers. They advertise a 48-72 hour response time, but in our experience, it's been far longer. We've gotten quotes from a variety of other PEOs that are all about half of the per-employee cost (approximately $200 per month at Trinet) and do offer a dedicated account rep (so you at least can get an answer to quick questions). I would recommend against TriNet. They will take care of the details for you, but you'll spend a lot of time if you have any questions or complications.
