We are a multi-entity biotechnology company with offices throughout the US. We currently use TriNet for all of our US and one Canadian employee. Using TriNet allows us to offer top-notch benefits to employees no matter what state they reside in. It also helps our very small HR department stay compliant with the laws in all the different states. We have a few international employees who are not part of TriNet only because they do not offer services in those countries.

We use TriNet as the PEO for our entire company. They manage our payroll (and related taxes and rules), HR, and labor compliance. It enables us to focus on our core business and outsource functions we are not experts at.

TriNet is being used across the whole organization. It is used to address a number of business needs, including employee information tracking, pay and salary, healthcare benefits, paid time off, and important document storage. As a user (and not admin), I use the system to view my employee information and most often will use it to view pay stubs and request time off.

TriNet is Astrolabe's professional employer organization (PEO). We use their services for payroll, benefits, and other HR requirements. As a small company, Astrolabe could not employ our own HR department, and TriNet's services are invaluable.

TriNet has helped our organization tremendously as we have utilized it for payroll, performance reviews, a more comprehensive and complete offering of benefits, time off tracking as well as consulting. We do not have a full time HR employee on staff and TriNet helps in answering the many questions we face on a day to day basis. They are there to assist with best practices and guides us constantly through the many questions we have.

We are using it for our corporate team. It helps us sith processing payroll, benefits, and making sure we stay compliant. For example, we get up-to-date posters from them to comply with the government's notices requirements. We can also ask our representative about specific issues that we've heard about in the news and they give us updates or their take on it.

My accounting team runs payroll via TriNet, and my company offers benefits to employees, including health insurance and 401K, via TriNet. My employees use TriNet's online portal to access and track payroll and benefits information, and they use TriNet's various support services to get questions related to benefits addressed. Essentially, TriNet provides the company with HR expertise and support that we need so that we don't have to build an HR department in-house at this stage.

TriNet is being used across the entire firm for payroll, commissions, and benefits services. In the past we did not have a solid benefits system that all employees were able to use so this has been a major upgrade for our small investment banking firm. We also had poor accounting management at our previous payroll company and had to continually check up on their work.

At Mercury Capital we use TriNet for all of our benefits and payroll. TriNet is used in our US offices. We love that everything is handled by one group and that we always have our TriNet representative to assist us. TriNet keeps us updated on everything we need to know about benefits for our employees.

We use TriNet for payroll, expense reimbursements, and human resources. The accounting department in my office handles it while the employees all have their own logins and can access their paystubs, the marketplace and contact TriNet for anything thy need. TriNet is a one-stop-shop every office needs to have. They make everything easy for our company.

Today, we leverage TriNet as our everything Human Resource platform, including payroll and benefits across the entire organization. Our employees are able to access their payroll documents, inquire about their benefits coverage and overall contributions by ALPFA at the touch of a button. Administratively, we are able to pull reports for PPP applications directly built by Trinet, including standard reports we need for audits and reviews. I just recently went in to see my 401K contributions to date, and even if TriNet is not the provider, TriNet provides a direct link to the service provider so I don't have to go to a different website.

TriNet is being used for HR support, payroll, and benefits across our US organization. We have also used TriNet from time to time to assist with HR-related questions that have legal implications. In the US, it is used by all our employees. We have also utilized TriNet to assist with some of the COVID-19 related actions that have been required over the last several months.

TriNet and the PEO program we utilize, allows us to manage all of our Human Resources related tasks and gives us the most up-to-date information and guidelines to properly address all aspects of our Human Capital (the most important asset any company has). The reports are utilized by 7 of our 19 employees while 3 of us utilize and manage all of the services on a daily basis. The App, GUI, and web portal are all very user friendly and easy to use but by far the best attribute TriNet has to offer is their customer service and the hands-on assistance provided by the account and relationship managers. The response time is almost immediate in most cases and our support team gets us the right information the first time. We utilize them almost weekly.

Having a smaller headcount and being a small business (especially during the struggles the market can bring), TriNet allows us to manage our company as if we had a full-time HR Manager onsite without the cost and challenges that can often-times bring. The ease of managing payroll, benefits, workers comp, retirement plans, etc. gives us the ability to focus more on our business and growth.

TriNet is being used across the US. We have 87 employees currently utilizing TriNet. Because we only have 87 US employees, TriNet allows us to manage payroll and benefits for this region. Additionally, we can use TriNet services to gain additional insight or support, when necessary, on obscure HR issues that come up from time to time.

We have been using TriNet since we started our start-up Jan Medical. For a small start-up TriNet has been a valuable asset. Having access to a large pool of insurance benefits for our group to choose from and processing payroll along with reports has been great.

TriNet is used across our entire organization of 15-20 employees. They handle our payroll function - including onboarding new employees, our regular payrolls and employee transitions. They also handle all of our health care benefits program including medical, dental and vision. Finally, they provide us support for major HR issues that we must manage.

We are a small 200-people company headquartered in Germany. We have a unit in the U.S. comprising approx. 10 people. We have no specialist for U.S. HR topics, so we use TriNet for that - mainly for payroll, but also when we need U.S. HR to advise. TriNet also fills out various official forms for us (e.g. maternity disability).
