Retirement plans for your team’s future
Offering retirement plans is a great way to attract and retain key talent. But there are a litany of rules governing retirement plans, including fiduciary responsibilities, required filings and selecting investment options that put time and resource strains on any small business.
TriNet handles compliance for its 401(k) plan including:
- Filing Form 5500, investment selection, and monitoring and overseeing plan testing
- Managing independent audits and documentation reviews
- Processing participant deferrals, election changes, loans and distributions

Keeping up with the Affordable Care Act
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) continues to be a complex piece of legislation that requires expertise and resources to stay compliant. When you have access to TriNet-sponsored benefits we can help you understand your reporting requirements if you designate as an applicable large employer and provide documentation to help you respond to any large employer penalty assessment notices.

Ensuring the privacy and security of your employees’ information
Your employees trust that their personal information will be safe with you and anyone you work with. TriNet-sponsored plans are fully compliant with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations and we distribute HIPAA privacy notices.
