Our organization uses TriNet to administer our employee benefits - including health insurance, dental, vision, life, STD, LTD. We also utilize TriNet for HR administration (including recruiting and hiring) and Payroll administration. TriNet sources our worker's compensation insurance. We initially went to TriNet because we felt they had access to better, more affordable healthcare. We were also looking for one tool to handle everything. Their tool also handles expense reports/reimbursements.

POS Supply Solutions is using TriNet as our outsourced payroll, benefits, workmans comp and more. We are using it across our entire company with offices in 2 states and employees in 4 States. TriNet gives us the ability to offer big company benefits and manage the complexity of multi-state payroll and taxes much easier.

It allows our team to directly control HR/Insurance. It allows for less overhead and is a low maintenance solution for our small team. It is very well received by our staff. We have remote works and it's really easy for them to control their own insurance without having to be in a central corporate office.

I am an employer, and I use TriNet for my employees (myself as well). I provide benefits, utilize workforce analytics, and run payroll. The problems are the monthly fees that just increased, which have led me to leave the platform.

We use Trinet to administer payroll and benefits. We have employees working all over the country right now so it's very important that Trinet is able to help us with administering all payroll related line items as legally appropriate in each state. We also use Trinet for benefits which we otherwise would not know how to handle.

We use TriNet with our finance department to manage the salary and with the HR department to manage social benefits such as healthcare plans and compliance with local regulations - such as employee handbook for each state we have an employee in, new employee job proposals, etc.

TriNet is being used by everyone at Chunker. We are a relatively small company right now that has to compete with lots of other tech companies so our benefit package is very important. Using TriNet allows us to have a world-class benefit package that we could never get on our own at this stage.

Accounting & CFO - We primarily use the PR, Expense reimbursement and HR functions of TN. Though only the accounting and CFO use the software each of the employees use the PTO reporting and the expense reimbursement function. It has reduced checks needed and improved the efficiency of the process for reimbursing employees for their expenses.

TriNet is used by our entire organization. It supports our business in ways that our previous PEO did not. It takes care of our Payroll and Human Resource needs and is a great resource for myself (being the only HR Representative for the company with minimal experience in this field). Since we have had TriNet, there is less room for error in the different areas of our business.

We utilized TriNet to administer all aspects of employee benefits, payroll, and time off. The employee self-service portal allows our employees to manage their own personal data, direct access to their payroll and tax data/forms, and a time off portal that displays real-time accrued balances and estimated future balances. The entire agency utilizes the TriNet portal and we have been able to drastically reduce the amount of time and resources spent on processing employee changes, payroll changes, and time-off requests.

It's used across the entire organization. TriNet addresses primarily payroll and benefits needs, but there are many other features that we use and find helpful. For example, I-9 completion and retention, training needs (e.g. mandatory sexual harassment prevention), legally required notices, posters and forms, and other compliance tools. It's great to have access to a representative who can help with questions regarding involuntary separation and other sensitive situations. Lastly, we have used the COVID-19 resource site quite a bit. It contains relevant information about everything from new laws enacted after COVID-19 started to useful return to work tips.

We use TriNet for payroll, benefits, and items related. It is being used for Human Resources purposes. When it comes to generating reports, I feel it is very confusing and while I appreciate trying to ease the filters it is difficult to get an actual report that shows the info you are needing or even to build one. I also don't like the fact that when it comes to helping an employee solve an issue or get info, it is difficult to obtain even being the manager of the account.

We outsource all of our HR and Payroll needs to TriNet. We have a small internal finance team and TriNet gives us access to a depth and breadth of expertise that we wouldn't be able to access otherwise.
