Overall Satisfaction with TriNet

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.
  • Gives HR advise on issues we have where we don't have expertise such different states with different laws
  • The portal - especially with the upgrade - is very useful for the managers and employees of the company
  • Keeping us updated on law changes and import HR issues through weekly emails or videos - making it easier to navigate
  • Processing payroll is clunky at time - we submit by the deadline but by the time the final payroll is ready to approve can very great - sometime hours after the TriNet cut off time
  • Connect360 isn't the best system - sometimes you get a different answer to the same question - a dedicated rep was much better as they knew your business - Connect360 has gotten better overtime - still need improvement
We have had a couple of different account managers in the past few years - they do a good job staying in touch. Karen was able to hold our medical increase at 3% vs 6% as project - which helped out immensely
They do the job for us at a decent price so we have stayed as a customer
  • Trinet has improve payroll accuracy
  • Trinet has kept was HR compliant
TriNet had Seminars on the latest developments which was very helpful. They provided reports to help apply for PPP loans 0 we received one and the reporting help with the application and then the forgiveness of the PPP loan

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy TriNet again?

it was totally different product offering
TriNet is well suited for small companies looking to outsource their payroll and HR process. Their portal is great and has a wealth of information for our employees, they process payroll correctly and get taxes filed on time and they do a great job keeping up with HR legislation changes.
They are not well suited for larger companies that can afford their own HR department - at another company we moved away for Trinet and saved a bundle
