Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

It's used across the entire organization. TriNet addresses primarily payroll and benefits needs, but there are many other features that we use and find helpful. For example, I-9 completion and retention, training needs (e.g. mandatory sexual harassment prevention), legally required notices, posters and forms, and other compliance tools. It's great to have access to a representative who can help with questions regarding involuntary separation and other sensitive situations. Lastly, we have used the COVID-19 resource site quite a bit. It contains relevant information about everything from new laws enacted after COVID-19 started to useful return to work tips.
  • One portal gives access to everything.
  • Quick followup by support.
  • Easy to navigate website.
  • Training etc. is easily available to employees.
  • The process of putting an employee on LOA is tricky because of the coordination of pay between the company and different types of disability and other benefits. We didn't get much help in calculating this, so a calculator of sorts would be nice.
  • Setting up vacation and sick leave plans was also a bit cumbersome with weird spreadsheets to fill out.
  • I would like to see legally required notices, posters etc in a much more easy to find place. I still have not been able to locate all required new hire and termination notices on the site, just some of them.
TriNet is always quick to respond to any questions or comments that I might have. If my designated customer service representative is not available for the moment, it's easy to get hold of someone else who can help me out with my problem. When we have technical issues, which is rare, IT is usually quick to resolve the issue.
TriNet's platform HR Passport is user-friendly and does not really require much introduction or training. It's intuitive to use for the most part which is helpful when you want to delegate things such as vacation, sick leave, and personal day usage and tracking. We have effectively delegated tasks such as entering vacation and sick leave hours to administrative staff.
  • We use it to streamline our payroll process and eliminate the need to actively have to process payroll. It's great that it happens automatically.
  • In order to be compliant, TriNet is incredibly helpful, e.g. sending and tracking COBRA notices and enrollments.
  • TriNet allows us to focus on other things within the HR and accounting function.
TriNet has an immense array of resources with respect to topics such as: New laws enacted after the pandemic started, advice for how to support the employees and prepare facilities etc before going back to the office, how to handle employees who are reluctant to returning to work etc. I was also impressed with the videos and the microsite that TriNet immediately put up - thank you!
We prefer TriNet because of the ease of use, and because several of us are familiar with TriNet from previous companies. Many employees also preferred TriNet for the same reasons. Employees appreciate having access to all their paystubs, W-2 forms etc. even long after they leave a particular job. As an employer, record keeping is very easy when you have everything in one place.
TriNet is very well suited to small and medium-sized companies with a small or non-existing HR department. They can help not only with the basic payroll and benefits processing, but also with advice when it comes to employee separations and other situations. They also help eliminate paper with all enrollment, I-9 processing etc. online. Moreover, records are also kept online. In fact, TriNet makes it so easy, many smaller organizations could have HR run by an office manager, or an accountant.
