TriNet

TriNet is a Dublin, California-based professional employer organization (PEO) for small and mid-market businesses, founded in 1988 by Martin Babinec and led today by President and CEO Mike Simonds. TriNet delivers full-service HR through a co-employment model — payroll processing, Fortune-500-grade health, retirement and ancillary benefits, workers' compensation, employment-practices liability coverage, compliance and risk management, and strategic HR advisory — to thousands of SMBs across the United States. The company offers two main packages: TriNet PEO (full co-employment) and HR Plus (technology platform plus support). TriNet is publicly traded on the NYSE as TNET with trailing-twelve-month revenue of roughly $5.0B as of FY2025. TriNet exposes its HR Customer Platform through three SwaggerHub-documented API groups — DCP, HRIS, and PEO — covering Employees, Companies, Payroll, Money, and Time-Off domains, with API credentials issued to approved customers and Integration Center partners rather than offered as a fully open developer program; OpenAPI/Swagger, Postman/Insomnia collections, a sandbox, OAuth playground, and webhook management are available to authorized developers. Public 1:1 API access typically requires partner-program qualification and technical review, which is why most TriNet customers consume the platform via the curated Integration Center marketplace (accounting, HRIS, identity, ATS, payroll, benefits and learning partners) or via unified-API aggregators such as Finch, Merge, Apideck and Truto.

TriNet is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include HR, Human Resources, PEO, Professional Employer Organization, and Payroll.

TriNet’s developer surface includes developer portal, documentation, engineering blog, YouTube channel, and 24 more developer resources.
