TriNet Payroll Services's Offerings
Although specific pricing is not listed on their website, a consultation with TriNet’s sales support team can determine costs based on your business needs. Factors such as the type of business, size of the workforce, employee location, and benefit contributions are taken into account when determining pricing. Additionally, tax regulations in your region are also considered.
While TriNet doesn’t provide generic pricing for all to see you can expect at least $150 per employee per month to get basic payroll and benefits administration.
