Case Study: Communities In Schools achieves cost savings and multi-state HR compliance with TriNet

Non-Profit Companies Such as Communities in Schools Gain HR Resources without Breaking the Bank

Communities In Schools is a national non-profit that connects students with community resources; with 36 employees dispersed across six states, the organization faced challenges managing payroll, benefits, and employment-law compliance cost-effectively and couldn’t justify a full in-house HR team or secure affordable coverage in states where it had only one employee.

Since 2003 CIS has outsourced payroll, benefits, and HR administration to TriNet, using online self-service and a call center for employee support. The partnership reduced time and cost, avoided hiring additional staff, improved access to quality health insurance, and ensured rapid service and compliance while CIS operates with TriNet plus a part‑time HR generalist.
