Google Workspace + TriNet Integration User Guide
Overview Employee Information
The integration between TriNet and Google Workspace allows you to streamline your employee onboarding and offboarding by automatically pushing employee information from TriNet to Google Workspace. This integration manages the following:
· User profiles ­ Google Workspace users will be provisioned, updated and deprovisioned based on the updates made in the TriNet platform.
· Group assignments ­ To allow for additional granularity in the security assignments, each user will be assigned to a Google Workspace group that represents the department and/or location of the TriNet employee. Group assignments are also updated with employee transfers.
· Calendar updates ­ Google employee calendars can be updated with approved time off requests to increase accuracy of calendars and eliminate a need for manual updates by the employee. In addition, one company-wide calendar can be configured to track all employees' time-off requests in one central place (Company PTO Calendar).

Company Calendar TriNet allows for the update of a single company-shared calendar with all employee time off requests. It provides a central calendar to view all employees that are out of office at any given time. When updating the company calendar, the following information will be updated in the calendar entry:

Summary Dates Display As

Employee Name + Out of Office. The integration will provide general information that the employee is out of office. Dates time off is taken. The calendar will always indicate a full day for the time off request, even if the employee is only taking a half day. Busy

Notes:
· While TriNet provides an integration that allows you to update the company calendar with all employees' requests, it is up to the client to identify the employees who should have access to this information and properly protect the shared calendar. Please refer to the Google documentation on how to properly share calendars within your organization.
· The company calendar will only update after a manager approves the request. Requests in a submitted state will be ignored until approved.
· Cancellation of time off requests will not update the company calendar. When time off requests are cancelled, you must manually update this information.
