Pricing
No information available.
TriNet's pricing model is characterized by transparency and predictability. TriNet charges a flat fee per employee for administrative costs, with payroll taxes, benefits, and workers' compensation presented as separate invoice line items. This approach allows clients to clearly understand what they are paying for each service. Unlike some competitors who charge a percentage of payroll, TriNet's fees do not fluctuate with salary increases, bonuses, or supplemental income, which helps with cost predictability.
Key pricing features of TriNet include: - Flat PEPM fee for admin costs. - Payroll taxes are charged only up to wage base limits; employer pays FICA on net wages after deductions (e.g., Section 125), unlike competitors who charge on gross wages. - Transparent invoicing with line-item details for all charges. - TriNet clients retain Section 125 tax savings, whereas some competitors retain these savings as part of their fees.
