Don't worry. We understand. And over the course of TriNet's twenty-year history, we've build the best implementation process in the industry—one that's simple, seamless, and largely online. The best part? The end-to-end process takes a maximum of 15 working days, as long as certain paperwork from your firm is received in a timely fashion.
The process isn't mysterious, and it isn't difficult. Here are the major steps:
- You decide to become a customer and complete the paperwork
- Your company's Set-Up Site opens for business. This easy-to-use, intuitive site enables the appropriate decision maker at your company to choose company policy selections and benefits options for your firm. We provide help at every step of the way.
- The authorized user at your company uploads employee data into our web-based system, and also begins collecting employee I-9 forms.
- TriNet receives your I-9 forms, records them, and begins internal testing based on your payroll and employee data. We assign your firm an Account Manager (for day-to-day payroll and benefits assistance) and a Human Capital Consultant (for high-level HR needs).
- Your employees paychecks are posted online, and your employees can now enroll in benefits online.
- We run your first payroll.
That's it. You're done. The process often takes far less than 15-working days, and once it's finished, you've delivered to your employees a powerful upgrade to their benefits and HR infrastructure. And you've positioned your own firm to become a destination for your industry's best talent.
