DUBLIN, Calif., April 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- TriNet, a leading
provider of comprehensive human resources to more than 18,000*
small and medium size businesses (SMBs) with 340,000 Worksite
Employees (WSEs), today announced a COVID-19 incentive program for
nearly 400 companies within its life sciences industry vertical.
The incentive program is being offered to TriNet clients who employ
furloughed medical personnel that are now redeploying their skills
to help fight the COVID-19 pandemic. As part of the program, TriNet
will cover the TriNet professional service fees for these employees
for two months, as well as, ensure
continuing pre-tax benefits at no cost to the WSE during the same
period.
TriNet also announced that for the majority of TriNet WSEs in a
TriNet sponsored health insurance plan, together with its insurance
carriers, they will assume the cost of the member's copays for
telemedicine treatments, as well as the cost of the member's copay
and cost-sharing fees for COVID-19 diagnostic testing and
treatments. Customers enrolled in a TriNet sponsored health plan
should check with their insurance carrier for benefit
determinations.
"Small and medium size businesses do so much for this country.
They are the backbone of our economy and employ the majority of our
workforce," said Burton M.
Goldfield, President and CEO. "The COVID-19 pandemic has
brought unprecedented challenges to these companies and to so many
individuals affected by this virus."
Goldfield added, "We all have a role to play in fighting this
pandemic and we are honored to help our SMB customers, including
medical personnel. They are the true heroes, putting the health and
safety of others before their own while working to combat
COVID-19."
Additionally, TriNet has been compiling updated information for
SMBs to better understand the range of health coverage offerings
available to them. With the looming health insurance coverage gap,
TriNet is facilitating access to alternative health plan options in
addition to COBRA. The company is also hosting regular webinars to
help SMBs navigate their options, as well as an ongoing blog
series.
For TriNet customers with furloughed medical personnel—and for
