HR solutions made for manufacturing

At TriNet, we understand the myriad challenges manufacturers face—such as maintaining compliance, minimizing safety risks and attracting a more tech-savvy labor force in an industry that’s known for high labor shortages. That’s why TriNet offers a holistic HR solution created specifically for manufacturing, with a technology platform that absorbs many time-consuming administrative tasks, so your managers can focus on running the business.

Payroll processing for manufacturing businesses

At the end of the day, it’s about paying people correctly and on time. Our online platform makes it easy to manage payroll processing for multiple pay rates and Form W-2 preparation while our payroll services experts help you ensure compliance with regulations and requirements governing pay and payroll taxes in any location. Plus, our expansive reporting capabilities let you run standard payroll, billing and HR reports as well as custom reports to suit your needs. Learn more about our payroll services.

Keep employees and your company protected

Manufacturing employees are more likely to get hurt on the job than workers from nearly any other industry. This significantly increases your chances of facing an injury-related lawsuit. That’s why TriNet designed a solution to help position you to better protect your employees, your business and your bottom line through best practices guidance, worksite safety assessments and training, plus comprehensive workers’ comp coverage and claims management when the need arises.
