How TriNet and Guideline work together

Guideline syncs all your payroll data from TriNet automatically.

  • Automated Contributions

    401(k) contributions are automatically deducted each pay run. No need to maintain deductions or manually re-enter payroll data.

  • Easy onboarding

    When employees are onboarded, we’ll notify and enroll them in the plan on your behalf—so no additional admin work required.

Powerful plans for
businesses of any size

Our 401(k) plans come with low monthly costs and no transaction fees. So you won’t have to pay extra for plan setup, plan transfers, or 5500 prep.2
