The $200/month/head is just admin charges. So you were paying $600, and riya was paying something around $200 above that.
As it turns out, if you have any sort of staff and decent cash flow, $200/month/head is pretty good for HR services, because Trinet picks up all the legal liability as well. There really is no "solution" here. It's a process, that changes with the scale of the organization, and as employment law changes at state and national level. Going from 1 person (me) to say, 5 people is pretty big jump. I don't know where the next jump is after that. -d On 3/5/07, Tara Hunt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Trinet is *expensive.* Last time I talked you needed 5 > > employees and it was $200/head pay to play. > > > > > > When I was at Riya.com, we used Trinet and I paid over $600/month to the > health/dentalcare for family coverage (because I have a teenage son), and I > still have hospital bills! > > It's so odd to me that there isn't a funded healthcare system here.
