Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

Pretty responsive
Benefits offerings integrated to payroll - one-stop shop
[It's being used by the] Whole organization for payroll, benefits, employee relations, 401K and withholding payroll tax filing.
  • Various benefit plan choices especially for a small company.
  • The 2018 Benefits Strategy software platform with 2017 comparatives was awesome and easy to use.
  • The benefits specialist who guided me through the tool as very knowledgeable and patient...AMY!!!
  • Overall our HR client specialist is not bad and tries hard to provide answers and if she does not know will request someone else's assistance...Pretty responsive NANCY!!!
  • Overall not a bad system for both payroll and HR benefits.
  • Hardly ever have the system down.
  • Access remotely is easy being cloud-based.
  • Having a specialist here in the US rather than a foreign country...please keep this as is.
  • Processing semi-monthly payroll when employees do not work a full half a month needs help...the system can not figure out the hourly pay rate and calculates this erroneously... this should be a basic functionality...I have used the system previously before Applied Silver 3 years ago and I already knew the system couln't process this correctly What makes it even worse is the Client specialist will argue and state the method on how the system calculates and refuses to acknowledge the system limitation/problem even when this occured and continues to occur here at Applied Silver...it seems the Client specialists are given a script and stays with the script rather than understanding the math on how it sure work and looking for solution within the system to make the paycheck is come out right...I have offered several times to work with Trinet on this problem...don't mind helping Trinet to be even better.
  • Offer more choice in 401K partners such as Fidelity etc. -Trans America has limitations; very disappointed with the go live; right before we were going to process payroll they pulled the plug and said they could not do it after we had already notified Paychex 401K that we were going to terminate them; had to hurriedly re-activate ...luckily we were able to do so without any interruptions for the employees.
  • Need more knowledgeable client specialists.
  • Reduce time in HR finance payroll; reports are easy to download
Best overall package and cost
  • [It's] Suited for small companies.
  • Haven't tried it for multistate payroll not sure if it works for Puerto Rico and Canada.
