TriNet is a one-stop HR partner and wonderful for companies that do not
want to stand up an in-house HR generalist function. TriNet takes care
of all of the "less fun" aspects of HR, like state registrations and
taxes, managing payroll, handling time off, and benefits. I have saved
so much time and effort by having TriNet manage all of the innards of HR
compliance, and it's even better that they are very responsive. For us
TriNet manages: compliance, new hire onboarding, benefits (insurance and
401K), performance management, expense, and time management. The only
detriment is that they have purchased quite a few of their additional
services (such as performance and expense) and have tacked it onto their
platform, so it is managed by a separate "cloud services" team which
can have a much longer lag time to resolve issues.
Pros
HR Compliance
Payroll Management
Response times
Cons
Response time for cloud services products
Additional help with tricky states compliance (i.e. - Washington)
Likelihood to Recommend
TriNet is great for companies that do not want to build out a robust internal HR compliance and generalist function. If you already have someone managing state registrations, unemployment, and so on, then TriNet is not the best fit.
Powers the business's success and promotes its growth and innovation with the help of an extraordinary HR. Ports time tracking data directly into the system to cut down on time importing data. Provides an easy way to calculate hours, benefits, payroll, taxes and more to give employees greater visibility into each paycheck.
Pros

Hard to use
Likelihood to Recommend
Relieves the company administrative burden associated with HR, helps contain HR costs, and minimizes employer-related risk. TriNet may be hard to use but it's an empowering solution offering additional cloud products and strategic services.
TriNet is being used throughout the business both in the US and Canada and covers all of our HR needs. We needed an easy-to-use and self-sufficient system that could handle on-boarding, HR, payroll, and the works.
Pros
Payroll processing
Simplified benefits packages
Cons
Limited benefits packages
There is a lot of information at your disposal, unfortunately, there's not a lot on how to access all that the platform has to offer. Some training would help!
Likelihood to Recommend
Overall, TriNet does the job pretty well and you can always contact an associate when there's an issue or you need assistance. However, I feel that employees don't go to TriNet or don't feel comfortable contacting the service, most of the time it's me as the lead contact.
We have about 7 employees and use TriNet for our payroll needs. It addresses health benefits, workers compensation insurance, cost breakdowns, W-2 and tax reporting. It is very beneficial.
Pros
Payroll tax reporting-very seamless
Customer service-very responsive and accommodating
Cons
Data input for payroll-maybe a differant format for input vacation, OT etc
Would be nice if admin could input employee direct deposit and w-2 information
Likelihood to Recommend
Great for payroll taxes, cost reporting and detailed reports, wonderful customer service
