We use it as our HRIS, applicant tracking system, payroll provider, benefits broker, and I'm sure some other things that I can't think of off the top of my head! Our headquarters are located in a different country and our team in the US is small, so we have a limited number of employees on each team. I'm an HR department of one, so having the support of TriNet on the administrative side of things has been great so that I can also focus on the strategic side of my job.

Trinet is used by our organization to run payroll for approx. 18 employees. I frequently use the Chat for Admin questions about handling new hires, terminations, pay codes, etc. <br>However, the one key concern that employees have is understanding what benefits are available to them for their state. These information on their specific/unique coverage, premiums, and deductibles should be available and easy to access.

We use TriNet for our Payroll, HR and Benefits. We are a smaller company, so being able to use TriNet's benefits selection makes it affordable and work for all the employees. TriNet makes the payroll process seamless!! I had an employee tell me the other day "switching to TriNet was the best thing we could have done". So not only do the managers appreciate TriNet and the solutions they offer, but so do the employees.

We use TriNet for processing payroll and providing benefits to our employees. We also use it for HR functionality. As a very small company with less than 10 employees, TriNet allows us to have the bargaining power of a much larger company and enables us to provide very competitive benefits to our employees. It also allows us to maintain a small team since TriNet can assist in areas where we do not currently have a dedicated team lead - such as for HR.

We utilize many of the solutions and tools TriNet has to offer. The primary use is to manage payroll, benefits, employee relations and compliance. We leverage forms, policies, library for advice and guidance. We have a great business partners supporting us in payroll and HR needs. The support teams are outstanding as well.

We are a small remote organization and had been managing all HR, payroll, etc. in house and we outgrew ourselves. TriNet has made managing hiring, exits, payroll, and insurance very smooth as has brought piece of mind that we're with complying with all employment laws across the several states we employ people in.

We use TriNet to host our payroll, administer all our benefits, and as an HR Consulting tool to navigate new cases within our team.

TriNet helps streamline our processes for onboarding and new employees.

Their workforce analytics tools help us often when we need to pull reports and is very intuitive

We use TriNet for HR, benefits, reports and payroll. I have called them numerous times about HR concerns, termination, platform support, help with benefits, where to find different reports for data analytics etc. Every time I call the general support line any tech I speak to is so helpful, polite, patient and professional. They know where the items are and walk me through on where to find them or step by step instructions on how to terminate or promote or increase pay. I cannot say enough good things about how easy it is to work with them!

We use TriNEt in their new platform. Not being a full PEO but rather using their system to manage other vendors and using them for HR , compliance and payroll. We were sold as them being a full PEO but the switched and told us this system was better.

we primarily use TriNet for payroll, benefits and retirement (401k). it is also our ATS and HIRS. Its great to have a 1 stop shop for everything. The platform isn't as in-depth as we would sometimes like but we work around that. As an example we have to have custom reports built for us rather than us having the ability to log in and create them ourselves.

Overall the support is great but there are some areas we don't use because we have the service in-house

We use the Payroll PEO services for two separate entities. TriNet's PEO platform allowed our companies to save approximately 36% on health insurance costs, which we are then able to reinvest into our employees. We will also be rolling our 401K to TriNet in 2024.<br>TriNet serves as our direct HR department

TriNet is a one-stop HR partner and wonderful for companies that do not want to stand up an in-house HR generalist function. TriNet takes care of all of the "less fun" aspects of HR, like state registrations and taxes, managing payroll, handling time off, and benefits. I have saved so much time and effort by having TriNet manage all of the innards of HR compliance, and it's even better that they are very responsive. For us TriNet manages: compliance, new hire onboarding, benefits (insurance and 401K), performance management, expense, and time management. The only detriment is that they have purchased quite a few of their additional services (such as performance and expense) and have tacked it onto their platform, so it is managed by a separate "cloud services" team which can have a much longer lag time to resolve issues.

We are a new start-up company back to 2018. TriNet is very helpful to set up payroll, payroll tax filing and deal with some HR matters via their platform. As a result, we don't need to hire full-time employees to take care of payroll and HR. It's cost efficient. Also, TriNet's platform is user-friendly with high standard of cybersecurity. In addition, TriNet is very responsive when we encountered new issues, such as maternity leave policy and process. We stronly recommend TriNet if you are considering of outsourcing payroll and HR to a third-party service provider.

Trinet has the capability to manage large, diverse organizations and, as a result, is robust and comprehensive in its offerings. Having said that we use it as a small-sized company and use a relatively small amount of its offerings. Despite this, they have continued to be competitive with other brokers and programs and have always done what they needed to see that our needs are met.

We utilize most of what TriNet has to offer as a PEO: onboarding including I9 management, employee records and changes, payroll, benefits, expenses, multi-state compliance, reports, forms and policies, and terminations. We also utilize 1 of their new offerings through the Enrich reimbursement programs.
For a small non-profit, TriNet really is a great asset in providing not only the platform, but thought partnership around HR, compliance, and people management all around.
