Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

Our company has 150 employees. 22 of them are located in the US in six different states. We use TriNet for these domestic employees. It prevents us from having to sign up with a WH tax/unemployment insurance account in all of these states for just one employee. In addition, our benefit funding strategy covers 100% of benefits so the savings for a group our size versus getting our own group plans through a broker is very substantial.
  • It makes the open enrollment program self-service. This is big for us because we do not have a full-time HR person.
  • The variety of plan offerings is a great benefit for us, especially for out of state employees.
  • We do not need an HR specialist or employment lawyer for making day to day decisions on how to execute on leave pay, termination flow, and annual employee agreements.
  • I do not like having to fund payroll 4 business days in advance.
  • Shorter turnaround time for submitting payroll.
  • In general, a little more flexibility around special payroll transactions
Rob Happ has been our dedicated account person for all three years we have had the service and is familiar with our business.
  • There have been a couple of changes to the portal and it makes it challenging to keep up with the changes.
  • The preconfigured reports should be better titled to identify common requests (i.e. "Cash paid for Payroll by employee or Employer expense).
  • It did take our accounting team a while to sift through the reports to prepare payroll journal entries. Would be better if this common task had a specific report preconfigured.
  • Employee self-service is very important
  • 800 number for EOB and other health insurance details are great for us.
  • Single source for all payroll expenses, no interaction with state agencies.
  • TriNet has an easier fee expense to understand than ADP.
  • Gevity was problematic before being acquired by TriNet.
  • Savings on benefit costs by pooling.
  • Multi-state workforce.
  • Smaller company with no budget for dedicated HR professional
