Benefits Administration FAQs
If you prefer your HR team to manage enrollment, employee support, compliance-related tasks and ongoing benefits administration tasks, in-house administration likely makes more sense.
Or if your HR team doesn’t have the time or expertise to manage complex benefits administration tasks, outsourcing with TriNet PEO may make more sense. With outsourced benefits administration through a PEO like TriNet, you can provide access to big-company benefits while leveraging a team of experts to support administrative tasks and compliance.
For TriNet HR Plus, benefits administration technology is included in the per employee per month (PEPM) subscription cost with options to add on additional services.
TriNet PEO includes both benefits administration technology and services in the per employee per month (PEPM) subscription cost. Benefits and certain benefits-related tools are priced separately. Benefits cost will vary depending on multiple factors, including plan offerings, carrier rates, company profile, and other applicable considerations.

TriNet provides the flexibility for you to keep you existing broker whether you decide to outsource benefits administration or keep it in-house. How you work with your broker may look different depending on which path you choose.
With our PEO solution, TriNet takes your current plans along with your company profile and workforce needs into account when helping you identify benefit solutions that make the most sense for your business. With TriNet HR Plus, you have full control of your benefit plan decisions.
In many cases, a business can transition to TriNet during its current benefits plan year. The process and timing depend on factors such as existing benefit arrangements, carrier requirements, and payroll administration needs. TriNet helps guide the transition and coordinates enrollment, benefits administration, payroll, and employee communications to help minimize disruption.
If you're considering a mid-year move, it's important to evaluate timing, employee experience, and benefits continuity to support a smooth transition. Speak with a TriNet representative to discuss your specific situation and available options.
TriNet is the single-employer sponsor of all its benefit plans, which does not include Enrich products and voluntary benefits that are not ERISA-covered group health insurance plans. Official plan documents govern, and TriNet may amend benefit plans or change offerings and deadlines.
