We are a small company and use TriNet accross the whole company for payroll and benefits. TriNet has addressed many issues for us. It has addressed the issue of having employees in multiple states and the administration that causes. TriNet has given us the ability to offer our employees benefits similar to what large companies offer so we can attract top talent and make sure our employees have the best possible health care. It has reduced our workers comp rates.

We utilize TriNet for our US entity employee. Payroll and benefits are fully transacted thru TriNet who administers the US state and federal governances for payroll and benefit reporting functions. This has created such an ease where we have had no knowledge base to build from.

We use it across the organization. We are a startup and having a PEO like TriNet allows us to focus on growing and cultivating program specific positions instead of administrative positions. It also allows us to focus on key items core to our strategy instead of being burdened with administrative tasks.

Delighted with TriNet

In 2015, one of our Executives brought in a marketing flyer describing TriNet's services, as a Professional Employee Organization, with thousands of employees, and they offered great services. So, I had to schedule an appointment to find out more!

Our company was mainly interested in reducing employee insurance costs, and finding an on-line HR service with a "one-stop" shop, and fortunately, TriNet offers all HR tools for our entire organization. We have an overseas office, and implementing the service was easily streamlined. By utilizing TriNet our employee benefit costs decreased, and that was my main concern.

Our company utilizes TriNet's on-line payroll platform for; new hires and current employees, maintaining Form I-9's, payroll processing, payroll and custom reporting, Quarterly/Year-end tax reporting, government tax payments, on-line approval of vacation and sick time benefits, custom reporting, and accrual balances for vacation and sick time. They offer the ability to upload Company Forms, Polices and most importantly the Employee Handbook.

TriNet's group health, life, vision, and dental insurance plans, allows the employee to select a variety of carriers, offering HMO and PPO, with all levels of Employer and Employee costs to select from.

Our company also utilizes their on-line Expense Reimbursement module, and once the expenses are approved on-line, the employee is reimbursed via payroll. We also manage our Corporate credit cards through TriNet, as well.

TriNet is a fantastic company, with timely and responsive customer service, with a great product, and you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend TriNet !

TriNet is being used by our whole organization for HR, payroll, all health, dental, vision insurance and 401k. It provides us with better benefits selections for our employees than we could ever offer on our own, as we are a small company. This helps us to recruit and retain quality employees because we can offer these. Tracking of vacation, sick days and employee compensation is also helpful. Compliance with all tax and government regulations also frees me up to focus on other areas of my job because TriNet takes care of all that. Having a personal consultant that I can call on whenever I need to is invaluable.

TriNet is used as a PEO for our company. We are a small company that needed assistance with a payroll platform, HR assistance and benefits packages that could be offered to our employees as a reasonable rate knowing that TriNet had expertise in all the areas needed. We utilize the handbook provided by TriNet as well as forms for employees for PTO requests and counseling requests. It is a one stop shop.

We use TriNet as a PEO for our US employees. The TriNet team handles all payroll issues for us and provides HR advice and assistance whenever we need it. We have employees in several different states and TriNet handles that with ease.

We are a new start up company and we have all experts. Since we have a few employees, we need professional HR, payroll services with a good benefit overall. TriNet provides us with a whole package and it is very convenient. And TriNet can help the company avoid legal issues, law suits, and compliance with Federal and State law.

I work with several companies to evaluate, select and implement third-party provider services for their payroll and HR needs. The companies I work with are relatively small, so they understand the value of having a partner in the field of payroll and HR. Without having to staff a department to handle these areas, they are able to invest their human capital in hiring more sales and production personnel.

We are a small incubator. Currently we only have 10 people, but we've used TriNet on startups from 0 to 50+ people. We don't have anyone dedicated to being our HR person, so we rely on TriNet for payroll, benefits and HR aspects of running a small company.

We are a small startup and use TriNet primarily for benefits, payroll and HR compliance. With TriNet we are able to keep costs down and tap into a network of experts. TriNet also keeps us updated on HR laws and regulations. The payroll reporting is also useful for our annual audit and is easy for our Accounting Dept to use.
