Pinnacle Employee Services

Pinnacle Employee Services (PES) is a Syracuse, New York-based provider of human resources outsourcing and business support. It helps employers manage the operational demands of running a workforce through Professional Employer Organization (PEO) and Administrative Services Organization (ASO) models. A PEO offers support through a co-employment partnership, while an ASO provides administrative services without that arrangement, allowing businesses to retain employer responsibility.

PES services span payroll administration, HR and compliance, employee benefits, risk management, workers’ compensation, and 401(k) support. Payroll capabilities include tax administration, direct deposit, employee self-service, timekeeping integration, and certified payroll reporting. HR support includes handbook and policy development, onboarding and offboarding, unemployment claims, leave administration, and compliance guidance. Benefits services cover plan coordination, enrollment, and options such as medical, dental, vision, life, disability, and voluntary coverage.

Pinnacle serves organizations in agriculture, automotive, construction, restaurants, professional services, and manufacturing. Its resources include client tools, FAQs, and HR and business insights, helping employers find support suited to their workforce and growth needs.
