Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

We use TriNet to handle our payroll and benefits. We also use the Time & Attendance through NetTime.
  • TriNet is extremely good at making sure support staff is available and knowledgeable.
  • TriNet has kept our health insurance rates down.
  • TriNet does a great job with open enrollment.
  • Employee deductions for items out of the norm are a difficult task. We just try to handle these outside of payroll.
  • The time and attendance module can be a huge problem. Do not use it if you must have accurate information at all times.
We have never had a problem with customer service.
The system can be daunting for someone not accustomed to using a payroll company. It can be difficult to figure out where to find what you need.
  • Our payroll and benefits has been streamlined.
  • We spend less time working with benefits and payroll issues.
We looked at Inspirity vs. Trinet but they could not come close to what we pay with TriNet.
TriNet is excellent for our company but can be very pricey for a company with just a handful of employees.

Evaluating TriNet and Competitors

Yes - AmCheck - needed alternative to our benefits
  • Product Features
  • Positive Sales Experience with the Vendor
The features appealed to us and the sales team seemed to value our business.
We would not change anything.

TriNet Implementation

Someone familiar with benefits and human resources should be in charge of the implementation. It is a human resource platform.
  • Implemented in-house
Change management was minimal
  • No significant issues.

TriNet always provides exceptional support. We know, without a doubt, they will get our problems solved immediately. Even when our representative is not available or away from the office she still responds to my emails. You totally cannot get better support than that.
