How we compare to TriNet

Professional Employment Organizations (e.g., TriNet) have been popular in the small business market over the last 20 years, but their notoriously poor quality of service, lack of flexibility, and all-or-nothing approach to client relationships has made PEOs less desirable for small businesses, especially those that plan to grow and value flexibility and quality of support. If you’re considering a PEO company to manage some or all of your HR functions, see how Melita stack up against a PEO below.
