We use TriNet to manage our payroll, HR, benefits, and compliance. As a small business developing products, most of our time is spent on manufacturing and marketing, leaving little time for back-office formalities, which are obviously very important. TriNet's online access makes it easy to ensure we are staying up to speed with the things that need to be done to ensure the business runs smoothly.

We are extremely happy with TriNet! We use TriNet for all of our HR support needs. They are pros at helping us with the benefits package we offer our employees. We have employees in all 50 states and overseas, and TriNet is our go-to for individual state laws and taxes. The TriNet platform is also super user-friendly and easy to navigate.

We use TriNet for processing payroll and tax reporting, HR outsourcing for their expertise and selection of employee benefits for our employees. We are a small company that can't afford an HR department or a robust benefit package for our employees so TriNet fills that void for us.

I processed bi-weekly payroll via TriNet. I used the Work force Analytic for reporting on a daily basis. I have no problem with TriNet products. Very friendly and advanced products.

I use TriNet for all our onboarding, benefits, hierarchy, payroll, and human resource needs. Any legal questions pertaining to our state are quickly answered by our dedicated TriNet representative. Payroll is easily managed through the online portal. Onboarding is all done through the portal and signing up for benefits is a breeze with all the options that TriNet offers our small organization.

We use TriNet to manage all of our payroll, HR, and benefits functions. It helps us offer excellent benefits to employees and takes away a lot of the administrative burden of running our organization.

We were looking for an all-in payroll and benefits provider that handled all of our payroll, benefits, tax filings, workers compensation, 401k and everything in between so we selected TriNet based on positive reviews we read about online and from former colleagues. We chose their co-employment PEO option as it was a little more expensive but you had everything under one umbrella.

We use TriNet for our payroll services as well as for tracking employee vacation/PTO time. They cover our Workers Comp and disability insurance. TriNet is very user-friendly in all aspects and is a great tool for management/admin to monitor and use and is very easy for employees to use tracking paystubs as well as requesting time off, etc. I highly recommend TriNet for ease, efficiency, and reasonable cost.

I am the main administrator of our account. I use it to manage employees, run payroll, benefits administration, run reports, and much more. I am fairly new to TriNet, and I have not experienced any issues so far. Our TriNet representative has been very helpful so far and has always solved my questions or pointed me in the right direction.

TriNet is our main HR Platform. We use it for payroll, which is easy to use and works like clockwork. We use it for all of our benefits and for our 401K. They make it easy for us to do every HR function imaginable! I would recommend TriNet for any company looking to streamline their HR.

Currently we are using TriNet as our core HRIS and PEO - HR, Payroll, Benefits, Reporting. We also use TriNet for compliance purposes, and are soon to be rolling out TriNet Expenses. Due to the limited functionality, we do not utilize TriNet for a majority of core HR/People functions such as Org Charting, Employee Directory, Performance Management, New Hire Onboarding, Background Checks, or Headcount Planning.

Originally we signed on with TriNet for two reasons: 1.) We needed a more competitive benefits package to attract talent and 2.) as a small business we were investing too much time in HR-related work that was not income-generating.

We use TriNet as a payroll and benefits platform. We are able to have TriNet work with various states' different payroll requirements in order to ensure proper taxation and benefits administration.
