1. | to elect a board of directors; | ||
2. | to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, to serve as our independent certified public accountants for the fiscal year 2008; and | ||
3. | to transact any other business that may properly come prior to the meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof. |
Stockholders of record at the close of business on September 14, 2007 are entitled to vote at the meeting. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held at that time.
Admission to the meeting is restricted to stockholders and/or their designated representatives. If your shares are registered in your name and you plan to attend the meeting, your admission ticket will be the top portion of the proxy card. If your shares are in the name of your broker or bank or you received your proxy materials electronically, you will need to bring evidence of your stock ownership, such as your most recent brokerage account statement. All stockholders will be required to show valid picture identification. If you do not have valid picture identification and either an admission ticket or proof of your stock ownership, you will not be admitted to the meeting. For security purposes packages and bags will be inspected and you may be required to check these items. Please arrive early enough to allow yourself adequate time to clear security.
By order of the Board of Directors | |
JAMES B. BENSON | |
Secretary | |
September 26, 2007 | |
Roseland, New Jersey |
The presence in person and/or the representation by proxy of the holders of record of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting constitutes a quorum. If you do not expect to be present at the meeting, you may vote your shares of stock by phone, via the Internet or by executing and promptly returning the accompanying proxy in the enclosed envelope, which requires no postage if mailed in the United States.
PROXY
STATEMENT SOLICITATION AND REVOCATION OF PROXY |
The board of directors of Automatic Data Processing, Inc. is soliciting proxies for the forthcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Each stockholder has the power to revoke a proxy at any time prior to voting at the meeting by notifying in writing the companys secretary. The company will bear all expenses in connection with this solicitation. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying proxy are being mailed to stockholders on or about September 26, 2007.
The only outstanding class of securities entitled to vote at the meeting is our common stock, par value $.10 per share. At the close of business on September 14, 2007, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting, we had 527,763,404 issued and outstanding shares of common stock (excluding 110,939,265 treasury shares not entitled to vote). Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote with respect to each matter to be voted on at the meeting.
The representation in person or by proxy of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting constitutes a quorum. Under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and By-Laws and under Delaware law, abstentions and non-votes are counted as present in determining whether the quorum requirement is satisfied. A non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that particular item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to elect a director, provided that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected (a situation that the company does not anticipate), the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon is required to ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as the companys independent certified public accountants. With respect to the election of directors, votes may be cast in favor of all nominees, withheld from all nominees or withheld from specifically identified nominees. Votes that are withheld will have the effect of a negative vote, provided that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected, withheld votes will be excluded entirely and will have no effect on the vote. With respect to the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, votes may be cast in favor of or against the proposal, or a stockholder may abstain from voting on the proposal. Abstentions will have the effect of a negative vote. Under applicable Delaware law, a non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of any of the matters referred to in this proxy statement. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, brokers that do not receive voting instructions from their stockholders are entitled to vote on the election of directors and ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP.
Our board of directors has adopted a policy whereby stockholders proxies are received by our independent tabulators and the vote is certified by independent inspectors of election. Proxies and ballots identifying the vote of individual stockholders will be kept confidential from our management and directors, except as necessary to meet legal requirements in cases where stockholders request disclosure or in a contested election.

Stockholder Approval Required
At the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, directors shall be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy, provided that if the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected (a situation we do not anticipate), the directors shall be elected by the vote of a plurality of the shares represented in person or by proxy.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.
Corporate Governance
During fiscal year 2007, our board of directors held eleven meetings. All directors attended at least 75%, in the aggregate, of the meetings of the board of directors and the committees of which they were members.
The board of directors categorical standards of director independence are consistent with the New York Stock Exchange listing guidelines and are available online at www.adp.com/about_governance.asp. Directors meeting these standards are considered to be independent. Messrs. Brenneman, Brun, Cooperman, Fast, Hubbard, Jones, Malek and Summe meet these standards and are, therefore, considered to be independent directors. Messrs. Butler and Taub do not meet these standards and are, therefore, not considered to be independent directors. Based on the foregoing categorical standards, all current members of the audit, compensation and nominating/corporate governance committees are independent.
The table below provides membership and meeting information for each of the committees of the board of directors.

Executive sessions
Executive sessions of the non-management directors are held during each board of directors and committee meeting. We have had a procedure by which the presiding director at each executive session of board of directors meetings shall change each meeting and shall rotate, consecutively, among the independent chairpersons of the audit, compensation and nominating/corporate governance committees. Upon Arthur F. Weinbachs retirement, Leslie A. Brun, who will be our new independent non-executive chairman of the board, will preside at each such executive session of the board of directors.
Director Nomination Process
When the board of directors decides to recruit a new member it seeks strong candidates who, ideally, meet all of its categorical standards of director independence, and who are, preferably, senior executives of large companies who have backgrounds directly related to our technologies, markets and/or clients. Additionally candidates should possess the following personal characteristics: (i) business community respect for his or her integrity, ethics, principles, insights and analytical ability; and (ii) ability and initiative to frame insightful questions, speak out and challenge questionable assumptions and disagree without being disagreeable. The nominating/corporate governance committee will not consider candidates who lack the foregoing personal characteristics. The nominating/corporate governance committee will also consider director candidates recommended by the stockholders. Stockholders wishing to recommend nominees for a director position should submit their recommendations in writing to the nominating/corporate governance committee in care of the companys secretary at our principal executive offices. Candidates recommended by the stockholders will be considered using the same process and evaluation criteria as set forth above for proposed new members recruited by the board of directors.
Retirement Policy
The mandatory retirement age for directors is 72, except as noted below. The nominating/corporate governance committee may annually recommend that the board of directors waive the mandatory retirement age requirement for any director, except persons who first became directors after May 14, 2002. The board of directors waived the mandatory retirement age requirement for Mr. Taub, the companys founder, based on his contributions to and involvement in the board of directors so that he may be nominated at this Annual Meeting of Stockholders to serve as director for the upcoming year. Each director will automatically retire from the board of directors at the companys Annual Meeting of Stockholders following the date he or she turns 72. Management directors who are no longer officers of the company are required to resign from the board of directors. However, the chief executive officer, with the board of directors approval, may continue to serve as a director following the date he or she ceases to be our chief executive officer until the next annual meeting of stockholders and, if re-elected at such meeting, may serve one additional year.

Compensation Committee
The compensation committee acts under a written charter available online at http://www.adp.com/about_governance_ compensation.asp. The members of the compensation committee satisfy the independence requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. In addition, each member of the compensation committee is a Non-Employee Director as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and an outside director as defined in the regulations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. There were eight meetings of the compensation committee in fiscal year 2007, all of which involved executive sessions with no executives of the company present.
The compensation committee sets and administers our executive compensation program. See Compensation Discussion and Analysis below.
The compensation committee is authorized to engage the services of outside advisors, experts and others to assist the committee. For fiscal year 2007, the committee engaged the services of Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., an independent compensation consulting firm specializing in executive and director compensation.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
Messrs. Brenneman, Brun, Hubbard, Jones and Malek are the five independent directors who sit on the compensation committee. No compensation committee member has ever been an officer of the company. During fiscal year 2007 and as of the date of this proxy statement no compensation committee member has been an employee of the company or eligible to participate in our employee compensation programs or plans, other than the 2000 Stock Option Plan under which the non-employee directors receive option grants. None of executive officers of the company have served on the compensation committee or on the board of directors of any entity that employed any of the compensation committee members or directors of the company.
Compensation of Non-Employee Directors
During fiscal year 2007, pursuant to our 2003 Director Stock Plan, all non-employee directors were paid an annual retainer of $65,000 in the form of restricted stock units of our common stock, plus $2,000 in cash for each board of directors meeting attended. In addition, non-employee directors were paid $1,500 in cash for each committee meeting
5
attended. Further, the chairperson of the audit committee was paid an additional annual retainer of $10,000 in cash and the chairperson of each of the compensation committee and the nominating/corporate governance committee was paid an additional annual retainer of $5,000 in cash.
During fiscal year 2007, the non-employee directors were entitled to participate in the 2000 Stock Option Plan. Under the 2000 Stock Option Plan, upon initial election to the board of directors, a non-employee director receives a grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock if such director will attend a regularly scheduled board of directors meeting prior to the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Thereafter, a non-employee director receives an annual grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock. All options are granted at the fair market value of the common stock as determined by the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape on the date of the grant. All options granted under this plan have a term of ten years. In November 2006, each non-employee director except for Arthur F. Weinbach was granted options to purchase 5,487 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $44.41 per share (after adjustment of the number of shares granted and the exercise price to reflect the tax-free spinoff of our former Brokerage Services Group business on March 30, 2007). In January 2007, we granted Mr. Weinbach options to purchase 5,487 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $42.94 per share. Twenty percent of the options become exercisable on the first anniversary of the options grant date, and twenty percent become exercisable on each successive anniversary date thereafter until all such options become exercisable. Such options vest only while serving in such capacity, unless certain specified events occur, such as death or disability, in which case the options immediately vest and become fully exercisable. In addition, non-employee directors who have been non-employee directors for at least ten years will have all of their options vested upon retirement from the board of directors and will have 36 months to exercise their options. Non-employee directors who served as non-employee directors for less than ten years when they retire or otherwise leave the board will not qualify for accelerated vesting, but will have 60 days to exercise their then vested options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all options will expire no more than ten years from their date of grant.
Non-employee directors elected after August 13, 1997 are not eligible to receive a pension from the company. A non-employee director attaining the age of 70 (who was a director on August 13, 1997) who retires after 20 years of service will receive an annual pension of $25,000 for the remainder of his or her life. If such non-employee director retires after having attained the age of 65 with 15 years of service, he or she will receive an annual pension of $12,500 for the remainder of his or her life.
The following table shows compensation for our non-employee directors for fiscal year 2007.

A director may specify whether, upon separation from the board, he or she would like to receive the amounts in the deferred account in a lump sum payment or in a series of substantially equal annual payments over a period ranging from two to ten years. | |
(9) | Represents annual retainer credited in restricted stock units to a directors annual retainer account. See 2003 Director Stock Plan below. Amounts set forth in the Stock Awards column represent the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for fiscal year 2007 as computed in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R). For the methodology of how the SFAS 123R amount is calculated, please see Note 14 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. See Director Outstanding Restricted Stock Units table below for the number of outstanding restricted stock units at fiscal year-end and grant date fair value for each director (which information has been adjusted to reflect the spin-off of our former Brokerage Services Group business on March 30, 2007). | |
(10) | Amounts set forth in the Option Awards column represent the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for fiscal year 2007 as computed in accordance with SFAS 123R, disregarding estimates of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. For the methodology of how SFAS 123R amount is calculated, please see Note 14 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. See Director Outstanding Options table below for additional information on option awards outstanding at June 30, 2007 (which information has been adjusted to reflect the spin-off of our former Brokerage Services Group business on March 30, 2007). | |
(11) | Reflects the aggregate increase in the present value of the pension benefit. Non-employee directors who joined the board after August 13, 1997 are not eligible to receive this benefit. The present value is determined based on a discount rate of 6.25% and GATT-2003 mortality table. | |
(12) | Reflects payment of dividend equivalents on restricted stock units for each director in the following amounts: Mr. Brenneman, $3,954; Mr. Brun, $3,954; Mr. Cooperman, $3,954; Mr. Hubbard, $3,336; Mr. Jones, $2,407; Ms. Jordan, $3,954; Mr. Krueger, $745; and Mr. Malek, $3,954. Also includes contributions by the ADP Foundation that match the charitable gifts made by our directors in the following amounts: Mr. Hubbard, $5,000 and Mr. Malek, $40,000. The ADP Foundation makes matching charitable contributions in an amount not to exceed $20,000 in a calendar year in respect of any given directors charitable contributions for that charitable year. Since our fiscal year does not coincide with the calendar year, Mr. Maleks contributions exceeded $20,000 in fiscal year 2007, but did not exceed $20,000 in any relevant calendar year. | |
(13) | Reflects a $50,000 salary earned as an employee, and use of a car leased by the company with an aggregate incremental cost to the company of $10,750. |

2003 Director Stock Plan
The company adopted share ownership guidelines that are intended to promote ownership in the companys stock by our non-employee directors and to align their financial interests more closely with those of other stockholders of the company. Under the share ownership guidelines, and pursuant to the 2003 Director Stock Plan, each non-employee director will be credited with an annual grant of restricted stock units on the date established by the board for the payment of the annual retainer, equal in number to the annual retainer (which in fiscal year 2007 was $65,000), divided by the average of the high and low sale prices of a share of our common stock on a date the annual retainer is credited. We are increasing the annual retainer paid to our directors by $40,000 effective for fees earned after our 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Non-employee directors will be allowed to receive, at their election, the additional $40,000 either as restricted stock units or in cash. They will each continue to receive $65,000 of their annual retainer in the form of restricted stock units regardless of their election with respect to the additional $40,000. The annual retainer is fully vested when credited to a directors annual retainer account. When a dividend is paid on our common stock, each directors account is credited with an amount equal to the cash dividend. When a director ceases to serve on our board, such director will receive a number of shares of common stock equal to the number of restricted stock units in such directors account and a cash payment equal to the dividend payments accrued, plus interest from the date such dividend equivalents were credited. The interest will be paid with respect to each twelve month period beginning on November 1 of such period to the date of payment and will be equal to the rate for five-year U.S. Treasury Notes published in The Wall Street Journal on the first business day of November of each such twelve month period plus 0.50%. Non-employee directors do not have any voting rights with respect to their restricted stock units.
Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
The following table contains information regarding the beneficial ownership of common stock by (i) each director and nominee for director of the company, (ii) each of our executive officers included in the Summary Compensation Table below (we refer to such executive officers as named executive officers), and (iii) all company directors and executive officers as a group (including the named executive officers). We are not aware of any stockholders that are the beneficial owners of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock. Unless otherwise noted in the footnotes following the table, each person listed below has sole voting and investment power over the shares of common stock reflected in the table. The address of each person named is P.O. Box 34, Roseland, New Jersey, 07068, unless otherwise noted. The information in the table is as of August 31, 2007, with the exception of the beneficial ownership of common stock by Messrs. Fast and Summe, which is reported as of September 11, 2007 following their election to our board of directors on September 10, 2007.

(3) | Represents (i) the 1989 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, (ii) the Key Employees Restricted Stock Plan, and (iii) the Amended and Restated Employees Saving-Stock Option Plan for our employees based in France, none of which have been approved by the companys stockholders. Prior to 2004, the non-employee directors of the company were entitled to participate in the 1989 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan pursuant to which options to purchase 12,500 shares of Common Stock were automatically granted to persons who become non-employee directors. In addition, each non-employee director was granted an additional option to purchase 12,500 shares on the first business day after each fifth anniversary of the date of the initial grant to each such non-employee director, provided that he or she was then still serving in such capacity. All options granted under the Director Stock Option Plan were granted at the fair market value of the common stock, determined on the basis of the closing price of the common stock in consolidated trading on the date of grant, as reported in The Wall Street Journal. Twenty percent of the options granted under the Director Stock Option Plan became exercisable on each anniversary of the date such options were granted until all such options were exercisable, provided that options became exercisable only if the director was then still serving in such capacity, unless certain specified events occurred such as the death, disability or retirement of a director, in which case the options immediately vested and became fully exercisable. All options granted under the Director Stock Option Plan have a term of ten years. The material terms of the Key Employees Restricted Stock Plan are described under Time-Based Restricted Stock in Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the companys annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, and the material terms of the Employees Saving-Stock Option Plan for our employees based in France are described in footnote (6) below. | |
(4) | Following stockholder approval of the amendment to the 2000 Stock Option Plan at the companys 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Director Stock Option Plan was amended to prohibit any future stock option grants thereunder. | |
(5) | Includes 2,006,484 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Key Employees Restricted Stock Plan. | |
(6) | Includes 991,584 shares of common stock reserved for issuance pursuant to the Employees Saving-Stock Option Plan for our employees based in France. 174,079 shares of common stock are subject to purchase during current purchase periods under the Employees Saving-Stock Option Plan. The board of directors adopted the plan in January 1996 and amended it most recently in November 2005. Employees of the company based in France are granted an option to purchase shares of our common stock under annual offerings that commence on January 1 of each calendar year and continue for 48 months to close on December 31 of the fourth year following its commencement. Each eligible employee is granted stock options in each offering that would generally entitle such employee to purchase a whole number of shares of common stock equivalent in value to 10% of his or her base salary, based upon a price per share (in U.S. dollars) determined in advance of such offering by the French Stock Option Committee, subject to adjustment for currency rate changes over the term of the offering. Participating employees pay for the exercise of the stock options through monthly payroll deductions taken during the four-year period of each offering, and have the opportunity upon the close of the offering to exercise their stock options (or any portion thereof) and purchase the associated number of shares of common stock. To the extent a participating employee elects to purchase fewer shares of common stock than would be available under his or her full allotment of stock options, such employee would receive the cash remaining from the aggregate payroll deductions after taking into account his or her purchase of shares of common stock. |

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Compensation Principles
There are three principles that guide our management and the compensation committee as they make decisions involving our key executives compensation. These principles are that compensation should be:
The compensation committee believes that compensation must be designed to create a direct link between performance and stockholder value. To that end, the compensation committee, upon considering various compensation program recommendations made to it by Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (the executive compensation firm it had retained for this purpose) and management, took the following actions during fiscal year 2007:
Pay Philosophy
The elements of compensation for our named executive officers are base salary, annual cash bonus, restricted stock awards, stock option grants, retirement plans, deferred compensation, and other benefits. We assign all executives to pay grades by comparing their position-specific duties and responsibilities with market data and our internal management structure. Each pay grade has a base salary range, a total annual compensation range (which includes the value of restricted stock awards), and corresponding annual stock option grant ranges.
The compensation committee targets annual cash compensation (base salary plus target bonus) of our key executives (including the named executive officers) at the 50th percentile of our peer group of companies and the value of our long-term incentive compensation programs at the 75th percentile of our peer group. The compensation committee targets total cash and equity-based compensation (base salary, target bonus, and the long-term incentive compensation program awards and grants) at the 60th percentile of our peer group. Our peer group includes publicly traded companies of similar revenue size that participate in compensation surveys conducted by Towers Perrin, Hewitt Associates, and Mercer Human Resources Consulting. The ability to receive compensation at the 60th percentile of our peer group is tied directly to our stock performance. Underperformance will cause our total cash and equity-based compensation level to fall short of this 60th percentile target. Conversely, above target performance will allow our executive officers (including the named executive officers) to exceed this targeted 60th percentile compensation level.
13
Elements of Executive Compensation
Base salary
Base salaries represent a fixed amount paid to each executive for performing his or her normal duties and responsibilities. We determine the amount on the basis of the executives overall performance and level of responsibility, pay grade, peer group data and comparison to other company executives.
In determining the competitiveness of our chief executive officers compensation, the compensation committee, at its April 2006 meeting, considered an internally prepared study of chief executive officer compensation that contained a peer group comparison of 175 publicly traded companies with annual revenues between $5 billion and $15 billion. We obtained the data for this study from Equilar, Inc., a provider of executive compensation proxy data, and Mercer Human Resources Consulting, and excluded utility companies because of the regulatory environment in which these companies operate. This CEO compensation study indicated that peer group chief executive officers had an annual median base salary of $983,300, a median annual bonus of $1,500,000, a median long-term incentive compensation value of $4,018,800, and median total cash and equity-based compensation of $6,913,100. At its August 2006 meeting, the compensation committee considered the findings of the CEO compensation study when it determined Mr. Butlers compensation for fiscal year 2007.
In October 2006 we announced that Mr. Martone would become our chief operating officer on the date the tax-free spin-off of our former Brokerage Services Group business was completed. Accordingly, at its November 2006 meeting, the compensation committee approved the base salary that Mr. Martone would receive after he became our chief operating officer. The compensation committee based its decision on an analysis we conducted of market data provided by Towers Perrin, Hewitt Associates, and Mercer Human Resources Consulting for a chief operating officer at companies with revenues between $5 billion and $10 billion. This COO compensation study showed a chief operating officer median base salary of $715,500.
Mr. Reidy received a 2% merit pay increase in April 2007 as part of his normal annual compensation review based on an assessment of his performance from his hire date in October 2006. Mr. Benson received a 15.4% increase in April 2007 as part of his normal annual compensation review based on an internal analysis of his relative pay compared to other company executives and an assessment of his overall performance. Mr. Stoeckert received a 3.5% merit increase in April 2007 as part of his normal annual compensation review, based on an assessment of his performance; 3.5% was the companys overall target merit increase percentage for fiscal year 2007. Mr. Butler recommended each of Messrs. Reidys and Bensons salary increases and both Mr. Butler and Mr. Martone recommended Mr. Stoeckerts increase to the compensation committee. The compensation committee subsequently approved the foregoing merit pay increases.
In April 2006, the compensation committee determined that Art Weinbach should be paid an annual retainer of $350,000 to serve as non-executive chairman of the board of directors, based on the duties and responsibilities that Mr. Weinbach would assume, effective as of August 31, 2006, in that capacity. These duties include, among others, attendance at any and all meetings of the committees of the board, assistance to the nominating/corporate governance committee in selecting and recommending new director candidates, assisting the compensation committee in evaluating the performance of the companys chief executive officer, setting the board agendas (in consultation with chief executive officer), and assisting the chief executive officer and the board to focus on strategic direction, value systems and culture.
Annual Cash Bonus
Overview
We paid our named executive officers cash bonuses for fiscal year 2007 based on the attainment of individual, business unit and company-wide business goals established at the beginning of the fiscal year. For each pay grade (including the named executive officers), we establish a target bonus amount, which is initially expressed as a percentage of the projected year-end annual base salary. We also assign a percentage value to each component of each named executive officers annual bonus plan and then determine the target bonus amount of each such component. We establish these performance ranges to provide our named executive officers with a strong incentive to exceed the targets and a
14
strong disincentive to not achieving them. The maximum bonus payment to our chief executive officer is 200% of his target bonus level. All other named executive officers have a maximum bonus payment of 175% of their respective target bonus levels. There is no minimum payment level.
The compensation committee establishes and approves the annual target bonus for each of our executive officers (including our chief executive officer, chief operating officer and each of the other named executive officers). Our chief executive officer recommends to the compensation committee annual target bonus for each of our named executive officers, taking into consideration, in the case of the president of our Employer Services international business, advice from our chief operating officer.
The compensation committee establishes and approves the annual target bonus objectives for our chief executive officer, chief operating officer and each of the other named executive officers. Our chief executive officer recommends to the compensation committee bonus objectives for all our named executive officers other than the president of our Employer Services international business, whose bonus objectives are recommended by our chief operating officer. Our named executive officers participate in the discussions surrounding their bonus objectives for the fiscal year so that they can provide their input and understand the expectations of each component of the bonus plan. Each named executive officer receives a final version of his or her individualized bonus plan. Except in extraordinary circumstances, bonus plan objectives are not modified during the fiscal year.
The compensation committee reviews the performance of each of our executive officers (including our chief executive officer, chief operating officer and each of the other named executive officers) relative to their annual fiscal year target bonus plan objectives at its regularly scheduled August meeting, which is the first meeting following the end of our fiscal year. Based on such review, the compensation committee determines and approves the annual cash bonuses for each of our executive officers (including the named executive officers).

Named Executive Officers Fiscal Year 2007 Target Bonus Amounts
The compensation committee set Mr. Butlers fiscal year 2007 target bonus at $1,400,000, or 165% of his year-end base salary. This is 7% below the median target annual bonus of the CEO compensation study. When Mr. Butlers base salary and target bonus are combined with the recommended target equity-based awards and grants (as discussed later), his total cash and equity-based compensation is 12% below the median of the CEO compensation study peer group. The compensation committee decided that Mr. Butlers total cash and equity-based compensation should be below the median because fiscal year 2007 would be his first year as a chief executive officer.
Upon Mr. Butlers recommendation, the compensation committee approved Mr. Martones fiscal year 2007 target bonus at $519,000, or 90% of his projected year-end base salary. Subsequently, the compensation committee, as part of Mr. Martones chief operating officer compensation package agreed to in November 2006, set his 2007 target bonus at $650,000, or 100% of his projected year-end base salary. The combined salary and cash bonus is 2% below the median target total annual cash compensation reflected in the COO compensation study. When Mr. Martones base salary and target bonus are combined with his recommended target equity-based awards and grants, his total cash and equity-based compensation is 8.6% below the median of the COO compensation study peer group. The compensation committee decided that Mr. Martones total cash and equity-based compensation should be below the median because he had no prior experience as a chief operating officer.
The compensation committee approved Mr. Reidys fiscal year 2007 target bonus at $400,000, or 80% of his base salary at the time he was hired, as part of his employment agreement when he joined the company in October 2006. The compensation committee approved Mr. Bensons 2007 target bonus at $257,500, or 64% of his projected year-end salary; his target bonus was subsequently increased in April 2007 to $315,000 (70% of his actual year-end base salary) and approved by the compensation committee, as part of a review of his total compensation. The compensation committee approved Mr. Stoeckerts 2007 target bonus at $308,000, or 75% of his projected year-end base salary. The compensation committee approved Messrs. Reidys and Bensons target bonuses upon Mr. Butlers recommendation. Both Mr. Martone and Mr. Butler recommended to the compensation committee Mr. Stoeckerts 2007 target bonus.
The named executive officers target bonus amounts were increased, in part, for fiscal year 2007 to compensate them for the elimination of our one-year performance-based restricted stock program (described below under the heading Long-Term Incentive Compensation Programs).
Named Executive Officers Fiscal Year 2007 Bonuses
At its August 2007 meeting, the compensation committee determined that the performance of our named executive officers in relation to their bonus objectives for fiscal year 2007 warranted bonus amounts above the target level and approved the cash bonuses as follows:
Actual Bonus | Bonus Amount as | |||||
Named Executive Officer | Amount | Percentage of Target | ||||
Gary C. Butler | $ | 2,330,000 | 166% | |||
S. Michael Martone | $ | 874,000 | 134% | |||
Christopher R. Reidy | $ | 648,100 | 162% | |||
James B. Benson | $ | 488,200 | 155% | |||
George I. Stoeckert | $ | 461,400 | 150% |
17
Under applicable executive compensation disclosure rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission, performance-based bonuses are shown in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table below. The Bonus column of the Summary Compensation Table is only used for sign-on bonuses, discretionary cash bonuses, and other similar bonuses not intended to serve as an incentive for performance over a specified period.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation Programs
We believe that long-term incentive compensation is a significant factor in retaining key executives (including the named executive officers) and aligning their interests directly to the interests of our stockholders. Long-term incentives are awarded in the form of restricted stock awards and stock option grants.
The compensation committee targets the value of our long-term incentive compensation at the 75th percentile of our peer group. Approximately 60% of the total long-term incentive target compensation is from performance-based restricted stock awards; the remaining 40% is from stock option grants. We believe this mix provides us with a strong executive retention program. At the beginning of each fiscal year, we analyze the targeted ranges for grants under our two-year performance-based restricted stock program and under our stock option plan. The value of the awards under our two-year performance-based restricted stock program is calculated based on the then-current stock price for our common stock and the value of stock option grants is calculated using a stock option valuation model. The combined value of these two programs is then compared with market data for our peer group. A recommendation is then made to the compensation committee for approval. The compensation committee approves the performance-based restricted stock award ranges, stock option grant ranges, and all of the individual equity-based compensation awards and grants to each of our executive officers (including the named executive officers).
Performance-Based Restricted Stock--Two-Year Program
For fiscal year 2007, the compensation committee largely eliminated our time-based restricted stock program and replaced it with a new two-year performance-based restricted stock program to better align the compensation of our key executives (including the named executive officers) with the companys results. The target value of the two-year performance-based restricted stock award for the program spanning fiscal years 2007 and 2008 was designed to equal the number of annual time-based restricted shares that had previously been awarded to each of our executive officers (including the named executive officers). In September 2006, we communicated that under our new two-year performance-based restricted stock program an average two-year earnings-per-share growth of more than 13% will be required to receive the awards at the target level. We will adjust these awards upward or downward at the end of the performance period as follows:
Stock Grant as | |||||
Average Two-year Annual Earnings-per-share Growth | Percentage of Target | ||||
9% or under | 0 | % | |||
more than 9% to 11% | 75 | % | |||
more than 11% to 13% | 90 | % | |||
more than 13% to 18% | 100 | % | |||
more than 18% to 20% | 115 | % | |||
over 20% | 125 | % |
The compensation committee subsequently adjusted the targets in April 2007 to maintain the value of the potential target award in light of the tax-free spin-off of our former Brokerage Services Group business. The compensation committee has the right to grant discretionary awards if the targets are not met.
All executive officers (including the named executive officers) will receive a restricted stock award if we meet our average earnings per share goal over the July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2008 two-year period. If we meet this goal, we will issue shares of restricted stock to our named executive officers in September 2008. These shares will vest fully in March 2009. However, if an executive officer (including any named executive officer) terminates his or her employment with the company prior to the March 2009 vesting date, such unvested restricted stock will be forfeited back to us.
18
The compensation committee has the right to grant discretionary awards of time-based restricted stock. The compensation committee may make discretionary grants of time-based restricted stock to assist us in the recruitment, promotion or retention of executive officers.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock--One-Year Program
In July 2004, we initiated a performance-based restricted stock program for our executive officers (including the named executive officers) with one-year performance periods tied to our earnings-per-share performance. We offered this one-year program for fiscal years 2005 and 2006. The performance thresholds for the 2005 and 2006 programs were 7% and 10% earnings-per-share growth over the prior fiscal year. Subject to continued service with the company, one-third of any restricted shares awarded will vest in three even annual installments. The size of individual awards varied based on the executives pay grade.
Restricted stock awarded in September 2005 under the one-year performance-based restricted stock program for achieving the fiscal year 2005 earnings per share goal continues to vest in 2007. We also achieved our fiscal year 2006 performance threshold and made awards in September 2006. Restricted stock awarded in September 2006 will vest in equal annual installments in September 2007, 2008 and 2009. These awards are reflected in the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table.
In 2006, the compensation committee reviewed all of our long-term incentive compensation programs and decided to terminate our one-year performance-based restricted stock program. In order to compensate our executive officers (including the named executive officers) for the loss of the one-year restricted stock program, the compensation committee approved increasing the cash bonus target levels for our executive officers (including the named executive officers) for fiscal year 2007 by the value of the potential restricted stock awards under the eliminated one-year performance-based restricted stock program.
Stock Options
The compensation committee approved stock option grants to each of our executive officers during fiscal year 2007 under our 2000 Stock Option Plan. We grant stock options to our named executive officers based upon their pay grades. We do not reprice or cancel stock options if the price at which our common stock trades is below the stock options exercise prices. We do not back-date stock options.
Until January 2007, we set the exercise price of stock option grants under our 2000 Stock Option Plan as the average of the high and the low sales prices of our stock on the day of grant. Because that method could sometimes require us to add extra disclosures under the new SEC executive compensation disclosure rules, our board of directors amended our 2000 Stock Option Plan so that beginning with the grants made in January 2007, all stock option grants are made with an exercise price set equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
The compensation committee typically approves stock option grants for our chief executive officer and our chief operating officer in August of each year as part of a review of their entire compensation packages. Since we announced in October 2006 that Mr. Martone would became our chief operating officer on the date the tax free spin-off of our former Brokerage Services Group business was completed, the compensation committee approved his fiscal year 2007 stock option grant at its meeting in January 2007.
While the compensation committee can consider a stock option grant at any time for our executive officers (including the named executive officers), it makes most stock option grants at its January meeting. This date does not coincide with any regularly scheduled announcement or corporate event.
The options vest during periods of up to six years after the date of the grant. This means that option holders nearing the normal retirement age of 65 will experience a decline in their overall annual compensation since a portion of their annual option grants will not vest prior to retirement. In order to mitigate the decline in the value of the option grants, the compensation committee may allow the unvested options of an executive officer who retires from active service after reaching the age of 65 to vest on his or her date of retirement. An executive officer who turns 60 years of age within the calendar year of the option grant would typically begin to be considered for this acceleration feature. Upon the
19
discretionary recommendation of our chief executive officer, the compensation committee decided at its January 2005, 2006 and 2007 meetings that options granted to Mr. Benson at such meetings will vest upon his retirement, provided he retires after reaching age 65.
Growth Incentive Program
In fiscal year 2006, the compensation committee approved an aggressive long-term cash bonus program, called the Growth Incentive Program, for select key executives (including all named executive officers other than Mr. Reidy who was not our employee for the first 15 months of the performance period). The programs primary goals were to increase the focus on acquisitions and to accelerate our long-term revenue growth rates while delivering multi-year double-digit earnings per share growth. We established three-year targets that exceeded our strategic plans targets on a company-wide, and business unit specific, basis.
The named executive officers will earn their cash bonuses under the Growth Incentive Program on June 30, 2008 only if their assigned three-year average performance targets are achieved for the period of July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2008. We will base Mr. Butlers and Mr. Bensons payments on the three-year performance of our overall revenue and earnings per share growth. We will base Mr. Martones payment on the Employer Services revenue and net operating income growth for the time he spent as the president of Employer Services and on our overall revenue and earnings per share growth for his time as our chief operating officer. We will base Mr. Stoeckerts payment on the three-year performance of our Employer Services international business revenue and net operating income growth.
The maximum potential payment under the Growth Incentive Program is 150% of the targeted amount, with a minimum payment of zero. We set target payments for each of the named executive officers as a percentage of his base salary at the time we announced the program and at levels that the compensation committee believed would encourage them to consistently outperform our internal financial targets. The targeted awards remain fixed for the duration of the three-year period. The target bonus levels under the Growth Incentive Program are: Mr. Butler, $504,000 (70% of his then base salary); Mr. Martone, $322,200 (60% of his then base salary); Mr. Stoeckert, $190,000 (50% of his then base salary); and Mr. Benson, $187,500 (50% of his then base salary).
The compensation committee decided not to offer the Growth Incentive Program after fiscal year 2006; the existing program will terminate after the three-year performance period ends on June 30, 2008.
Accelerated Revenue Program
Beginning in fiscal year 2007, the compensation committee decided to reward extraordinary financial performance by replacing the Growth Incentive Program with a new Accelerated Revenue Program. The performance period under the Accelerated Revenue Program is two years (July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2008) and the program will pay awards in restricted stock.
All of our named executive officers, except Mr. Butler, participate in the Accelerated Revenue Program. The compensation committee decided, after initially including Mr. Butler in the Accelerated Revenue Program, that he should not participate in the program since he was, as our chief executive officer, directly involved in setting the programs performance targets.
The Accelerated Revenue Program will award shares of restricted stock to our named executive officers if the pre-established revenue growth targets for the company (in the case of Messrs. Martone, Reidy and Benson) and the pre-established revenue and sales growth targets for the Employer Services international business (in the case of Mr. Stoeckert), are achieved at the end of the two-year performance period. The initial target number of shares of restricted stock for each of Messrs. Martone, Benson and Stoeckert was equal to a percentage (equal to 60% for Mr. Martone and 50% for each of Messrs. Benson and Stoeckert) of such named executive officers July 1, 2006 base salary, divided by $46.91 (the closing price of our common stock on September 22, 2006, the date the compensation committee approved the target grant). The initial target number of shares of restricted stock for Mr. Reidy was equal to 60% of his base salary as of October 2, 2006, the date he joined the company, divided by $46.91. The compensation committee subsequently adjusted these target numbers in April 2007 to maintain the value of the target award in light of the tax-free spin-off of our former Brokerage Services Group business. The current target awards are therefore: Mr. Martone, 7,840; Mr. Reidy, 7,019; Mr. Benson, 4,562; and Mr. Stoeckert, 4,623. If the most aggressive applicable two-year growth targets are achieved, the maximum
20
awards will be 150% of target and equal to the following number of shares of restricted stock: Mr. Martone, 11,760; Mr. Reidy, 10,528; Mr. Benson, 6,843; and Mr. Stoeckert, 6,935. There is no payout if the minimum threshold two-year average growth targets are not achieved.
At its August 2007 meeting, the compensation committee decided not to offer the Accelerated Revenue Program after fiscal year 2007; the existing program will terminate after the two-year performance period ends on June 30, 2008.
Other Long-Term Incentive Program Considerations
We consider the accounting and tax implications when we design our equity-based and cash compensation programs and when we make awards or grants. We design our programs to minimize accounting costs. The goal is to only make equity-based awards and grants that we can deduct when determining our taxes. However, the overriding consideration when evaluating the pay level or design component of any portion of our executives compensation is the effectiveness of the component and the stockholder value that management and the compensation committee believe the pay component reinforces.
Both management and the compensation committee aim to maximize the tax deductibility of compensation payments to named executive officers. Our stockholders have approved our incentive plans that are designed and administered to provide performance-based compensation that is awarded to our named executive officers, and therefore not subject to the deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. The compensation committee may, however, award compensation that is not deductible under Section 162(m) when, in the exercise of the committees judgment, such pay would be in the best interests of the company and its stockholders.
Other Compensation Components and Considerations
In addition to the components discussed above, we offer our executive officers (including the named executive officers) retirement benefits, deferred compensation, perquisites, and change in control protection. The compensation committee believes these additional benefits are fair, competitive, consistent with our overall compensation philosophy, and designed to ensure that we can effectively retain our executive officers (including the named executive officers) as well as effectively compete for executive talent.
Retirement Benefits
All executive officers can participate in the Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Retirement and Savings Plan (our 401(k) plan) and are automatically enrolled in the Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Pension Retirement Plan (a tax-qualified defined benefit cash balance pension plan) and the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan. The Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan provides retirement benefits to our executive officers (including the named executive officers) in excess of those generally available under our qualified cash balance pension plan. The Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan enables us to attract and retain senior and experienced mid to late-career executive talent necessary to achieve growth and provides these executive officers with a retirement benefit targeted to a competitive income replacement ratio at normal retirement age.
Deferred Compensation
All executive officers (including the named executive officers) may defer all or a portion of their annual bonuses into a deferred compensation account. We make this program available to our executive officers to be competitive with our peer group, to facilitate the recruitment of new executives, and to provide our executive officers with a tax efficient way to save for retirement. Since the deferral accounts are made up of funds already earned by the executive officers, we do not consider the executives deferred account balances, or investment earnings or losses on such balances, when we make compensation decisions.
Perquisites
As part of his employment agreement with the company, Mr. Butler receives a fixed annual perquisite allowance that he allocates based on his personal needs. We cover the cost of Mr. Martones personal travel between our corporate headquarters in northern New Jersey and his primary residence in North Carolina on a non-commercial aircraft (and pay him additional amounts to compensate him for the related taxable income) so that he can travel safely and efficiently.
21
We provide each of our named executive officers the use of automobiles leased by the company, the use of car services, and company-paid life insurance. Consistent with our policy towards all attendees, we pay for the spouses of our named executive officers to accompany them to our annual sales Presidents Club events. Finally, the ADP Foundation makes contributions that match the charitable gifts made by our executive officers (including the named executive officers) up to a maximum of $20,000 per calendar year.
Change in Control Arrangements
The Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan for Corporate Officers is designed (i) to retain our executive officers (including the named executive officers) and our staff vice presidents and (ii) to align their interests with our stockholders interests so that they can consider transactions that are in the best interests of our stockholders and maintain their focus without concern regarding how any such transaction might personally affect them. In addition Mr. Butler, Mr. Martone, and Mr. Reidy have special arrangements described below under Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control.
Compensation Recovery
We have not adopted an executive compensation recovery policy that would require us to seek reimbursement of compensation to a named executive officer if he or she engaged in misconduct that caused the need for restatement of our financial results.
Equity Ownership Guidelines
The compensation committee established share ownership guidelines to encourage equity ownership among our executive officers (including the named executive officers) in order to reinforce the link between their financial interests and those of our stockholders. We set the share ownership guidelines on the basis of each executive officers pay grade, expressed as a multiple of the executive officers base salary on the first day of the fiscal year. Stock ownership (as defined under the guidelines) includes shares owned outright by the executive officer or beneficially through ownership by direct family member (spouse and/or dependent children), or shares owned through our 401(k) plan.
Under our share ownership guidelines, Mr. Butler and Mr. Martone are encouraged to own an amount of our stock equal to five times their respective base salaries, while Messrs. Reidy, Stoeckert and Benson are encouraged to own our stock in value equal to three times their respective base salaries. Until an executive officer achieves the ownership minimum, he or she is expected to retain 75% of all restricted stock that has vested and shares received from the exercise of stock options (in each instance, after all taxes have been paid).
The compensation committee determined that as of June 30, 2007, all named executive officers, with the exception of Mr. Reidy who was hired in fiscal year 2007, satisfy the share ownership guidelines.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT
The compensation committee has reviewed and discussed with management the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of the companys 2007 proxy statement. Based on its review and discussions with management, the compensation committee recommended to the board of directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the companys 2007 proxy statement.

In the foregoing Grants of Plan-Based Awards table, we refer to our one-year performance-based restricted stock program as 1-Yr PBRS, to our two-year performance-based restricted stock program as 2-Yr PBRS, and to our time-based restricted stock program as TBRS. Also, we refer to our 2000 Stock Option Plan as 2000 SOP, to our 2003 Director Stock Plan as 2003 DSP, and to our Accelerated Revenue Program as ARP.
The grant dates shown in column (b) of the table were determined pursuant to SFAS 123R. Column (bb) of the table shows the actual dates on which our compensation committee:
With respect to Messrs. Butler and Reidy, the foregoing awards and grants (except for restricted stock awarded to Mr. Butler under our one-year performance-based restricted stock program on August 10, 2006) were made pursuant to employment agreements with the company dated June 28, 2006 and August 1, 2006, respectively, which are summarized below.
The number of shares underlying the option grants, two-year performance-based restricted stock program awards and Accelerated Revenue Program awards, and option exercise prices (see columns (i), (j) and (k)), have been adjusted to reflect the spin-off of our former Brokerage Services Group business on March 30, 2007. Until January 2007, we set the exercise price of stock option grants under our 2000 Stock Option Plan as the average of the high and the low sales prices of our stock on the day of grant. Beginning with the grants made in January 2007, all stock option grants are made with an exercise price set equal to the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant.
We computed the grant date fair value of each restricted stock award and option grant shown in column (l) in accordance with SFAS 123R, disregarding estimates of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. For additional information about the assumptions used in these calculations, see Note 14 to our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
Mr. Butler Employment Agreement
Mr. Butler entered into an employment agreement with the company on June 28, 2006. The agreement provides for successive one-year terms beginning on August 31, 2006 unless terminated by the company or Mr. Butler at least six months before the end of the applicable one-year term.
Mr. Butlers annual base salary is at least $850,000, and his annual target bonus is at least $1,200,000. The actual bonus paid to Mr. Butler is based upon his accomplishment of pre-established performance goals established by the compensation committee. If the performance goals established by the compensation committee under the applicable two-year performance-based restricted stock program have been achieved at the 100% target level, the company will issue Mr. Butler at least 32,000 shares of restricted stock. If the performance goals for any such program are exceeded or are not achieved, the number of shares of restricted stock issued to Mr. Butler will be increased or decreased, as appropriate.
Mr. Butler will be granted stock options for a minimum of 200,000 shares of common stock each fiscal year during the term of the employment agreement. Subject to the attainment of any pre-established performance goals that may be set by the compensation committee (in its sole discretion), each stock option will vest in five equal annual installments of 20% each, commencing one year after the applicable grant date.
The company will pay Mr. Butler a perquisite allowance of $125,000 each fiscal year. The salary, bonus, stock and other arrangements for Mr. Butler will be reviewed annually by the compensation committee and may be increased in its sole discretion. Mr. Butler is also entitled to participate in all of the companys then current pension, 401(k), medical and health, life, accident, disability and other insurance programs, stock purchase and other plans and arrangements (including all policies relating to the exercise of stock options following a persons retirement from, or cessation of employment with, the company) that are generally available to other senior executives of the company.
27
Mr. Butlers employment agreement also contains provisions related to the change in control or termination, which are summarized below under Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers Upon Termination or Change In Control.
Mr. Reidy Employment Agreement
Mr. Reidy entered into an employment agreement with the company on August 1, 2006. Mr. Reidys annual base salary is at least $500,000, and his annual target bonus is at least $400,000. The actual bonus paid to Mr. Reidy is based upon his accomplishment of pre-established performance goals established by the compensation committee. If the performance goals established by the compensation committee under the applicable two-year performance-based restricted stock program have been achieved at the 100% target level, the company will issue Mr. Reidy 13,000 shares of restricted stock. If the performance goals for any such program are exceeded or are not achieved, the number of shares of restricted stock issued to Mr. Reidy will be increased or decreased, as appropriate.
The agreement provides that under our Accelerated Revenue Program, the initial target number of shares of restricted stock for Mr. Reidy will have a value equal to 60% of his base salary as of October 2, 2006, the date he joined the company. Commencing in January 2008, Mr. Reidy will be granted stock options for a minimum of 20,000 shares of common stock each fiscal year during the term of the employment agreement.
Mr. Reidys employment agreement also contains provisions related to the non-voluntary termination from the company, which are summarized below under Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers Upon Termination or Change In Control.
Mr. Weinbach Employment Agreement
Mr. Weinbach retired as our chief executive officer on August 31, 2006. We entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Weinbach on April 28, 2005, which provides that he is entitled to the following benefits upon his retirement from the company:
Mr. Weinbachs employment agreement also states that if the compensation committee deems it to be in the companys best interests that he retire prior to his 65th birthday, any early retirement benefit payable under the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan will not be actuarially reduced to reflect the payment of benefits before his normal retirement date. Mr. Weinbachs final average annual pay will not, in any event, be less than the aggregate of the minimum annual salary, bonus, and restricted stock amounts payable to him pursuant to the applicable terms of his employment agreement.
Stock Options
We currently grant stock options under our 2000 Stock Option Plan with an exercise price equal to our closing stock price on the date of grant and with a term of up to ten years. Options granted before January 2007 have an exercise price equal to the average of the high and the low sales prices of our stock on the day of grant. The stock option grants vest over a five-year period, beginning on the second anniversary of the grant date (for all key executives of the company, including the named executive officers), or the first anniversary of the grant date (for all other optionees). Such options vest only while employed by the company, unless certain specified events occur, such as death or disability, in which case the options immediately vest and become fully exercisable. Stock options expire no more than ten years from their date of grant.
28
An optionee has no rights as a stockholder with respect to any shares covered by his or her options until the options are exercised. During the life of the optionee, the option is exercisable only by him or her. No option is exercisable more than 60 days after termination of employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if termination is due to the total and permanent disability of the optionee, vested options remain exercisable for 12 months after termination (unless such person dies during such 12-month period, in which case the period applicable in case of death applies) or, if termination is due to the death of an optionee, vested options remain exercisable until the earlier of six months after the appointment and qualification of an executor or administrator of the deceased optionees estate or 12 months after the death of the optionee. In addition, if the optionee is at least 55 years of age at the time of retirement and has completed at least 10 years of service with the company, then vested options will remain exercisable for a period of 36 months from the date of such persons retirement (unless such person dies during such 36-month period, in which case other periods apply), or, if such retiree has five (but less than 10) years of service with the company, then vested options will remain exercisable for a period of 12 months from the date of such persons retirement (unless such person dies during such 12-month period, in which case the period applicable in the event of death applies).
If our board of directors decides it is in the best interest of the company for Mr. Martone to retire on or after July 1, 2009 and prior to his 65th birthday, all of Mr. Martones unvested stock options will vest as of his designated retirement date.

(1) | Consists of the number of years of service credited as of June 30, 2007 for the purpose of determining benefit service under the applicable pension plan. Credited service is defined in the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan as full calendar years of continuous employment with the company. | |
(2) | The Pension Retirement Plan provides benefits in the form of a lump sum or an annuity and the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan provides exclusively an annuity form of benefit. We calculated a present value of the executives benefit using an interest rate, a discount rate and a mortality assumption. We calculated the actuarial present values of accumulated benefits as of June 30, 2007 using the RP-2000 white collar mortality table (projected to 2007), a 4.75% interest crediting rate for the pension plan, and a 6.25% discount rate. | |
(3) | Cash balances under the Pension Retirement Plan are included in the present values shown for the Pension Retirement Plan in column (d) and, at June 30, 2007, are as follows: Mr. Butler, $264,491; Mr. Weinbach, $0; Mr. Reidy, $0; Mr. Sheldon, $164,478; Mr. Martone, $170,831; Mr. Benson, $244,947; and Mr. Stoeckert, $129,307. | |
(4) | The present value of Mr. Weinbachs benefits under the Supplemental Officer Retirement Plan and the Pension Retirement Plan takes into account the beginning of payments from the Supplemental Officer Retirement Plan on September 1, 2006, and from the Pension Retirement Plan on March 1, 2007. | |
(5) | Mr. Sheldon terminated employment with us to become the chief financial officer of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (a company resulting from the spin-off of our former Brokerage Services Group business) without meeting the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plans vesting requirements and therefore no benefits are owed to him under that plan. |

Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Pension Retirement Plan
The Pension Retirement Plan is a tax-qualified defined benefit plan covering substantially all U.S. employees of the company. Under the Pension Retirement Plan, the company credits participants notional accounts with annual contributions, which are determined based upon base salary and years of service. The contributions range from 2.1% to 10% of base salary and the accounts earn interest based upon the ten-year U.S. Treasury constant maturity rates. Compensation used to determine the benefits in any given year is limited to calendar year base salary up to the Internal Revenue Service compensation limit in effect for the plan year. A participant must have five years of service to receive any benefit.
Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan
The company also sponsors the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan, a non-qualified defined benefit plan which pays an annuity on retirement. Eligible participants include all key executives of the company (including the named executive officers). The amount of the annual benefit is determined by taking the average annual compensation of a participant for the five full consecutive calendar years during which he or she received the highest amount of compensation, and then multiplying that amount by a factor of 1.5% and the number of years of service. The maximum service period that can be credited under the plan is 16.67 years. A participant must have at least five years of service to receive any benefit. After ten years of service, a participant will qualify for the full annual benefit. Compensation covered under the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan includes base salary and bonus amounts (paid or deferred) and compensation from restricted stock vesting during the fiscal year. Under certain circumstances, annual benefits are subject to reduction for payments from social security, the Pension Retirement Plan and the 401(k) plan, and any retirement benefits from a former or subsequent employer of the participant.
A Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan participant whose employment is involuntarily terminated is eligible to receive service credit for the full year in the year in which the employment terminates. Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan benefits commence at the later of attainment of age 60 or termination of employment. A participant who terminates employment by reason of disability is eligible to receive an unreduced benefit payable as of the participants termination. Upon the death of a participant, the participants surviving spouse is eligible to receive a 50% survivor annuity.

Deferred Compensation Program
All key executives of the company (including the named executive officers) can defer up to 100% of their annual bonuses into a deferred compensation account. Officers must make annual elections to defer in the first quarter of the fiscal year in which the bonus is earned. They can choose two investment options for their deferrals: a fixed income
40
fund or a fund designed to track the performance of the Standard & Poors index of 500 leading U.S. companies. The fixed fund rate is adjusted each fiscal year. For fiscal year 2007, the fixed fund rate was 5.75%, or 112% of the applicable federal long-term rate. The company does not match deferrals by its named executive officers or otherwise contribute any amounts to the named executive officers deferred compensation accounts.
All deferrals made beginning with fiscal year 2005 are administered in compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Fund allocations are chosen at the same time the deferral is elected. The program does not allow such allocations to change once the deferral is made to the account. Each participant has the option of making a one-time change affecting when their distributions from the account can occur. The change, which is required to be made twelve months before the first distribution date, and can only be used to delay the timing and change the number of installment payments received. However, in accordance with Section 409A, any changed distribution cannot be earlier than 5 years after the previously scheduled distribution date, with the exception of payments made by the reason of death and permanent disability.
The program requires that on termination of employment, other than due to retirement, death or disability, deferred funds will be distributed to participants in a lump sum payment. This overrides all previously elected distribution schedules. Those funds and the earnings on deferrals made for fiscal year 2005 and later may be distributed to an executive after termination of employment only after a six-month delay. Distributions are subject to federal, state and local income taxes on both the principal amount and investment earnings at the ordinary income rate in the year in which such payments are made.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS TO NAMED EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS UPON TERMINATION
OR CHANGE IN CONTROL
Change in Control Severance Plan for Corporate Officers
We have in effect the Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Change in Control Severance Plan for Corporate Officers. The change in control plan provides for the payment of specified benefits to officers selected by the board of directors if their employment terminates after a change in control of the company. All named executive officers of the company participate in the change in control plan. As of June 30, 2007, there were 24 participants in the change in control plan.
The change in control plan provides that:
participants who are terminated without cause or who leave for good reason during the two-year period following the occurrence of a change in control will receive a lump sum payment equal to 150% of such participants current total annual compensation;
participants who are terminated without cause or who leave for good reason during the third year following the occurrence of a change in control will receive a payment equal to 100% of such participants current total annual compensation;
options to purchase common stock held by participants who are terminated without cause or who leave for good reason during the two-year period following the occurrence of a change in control will become fully vested and exercisable;
options to purchase common stock held by participants who are terminated without cause or who leave for good reason during the third year following the occurrence of a change in control will become fully vested and exercisable to the extent that such options would have otherwise vested within one year after being terminated without cause or leaving for good reason;
restricted shares issued under the time-based restricted stock program and held by participants who are terminated without cause or who leave for good reason during the two-year period following the occurrence of a change in control will become fully vested as to those restricted shares for which vesting restrictions would otherwise have lapsed within two years after being terminated without cause or leaving for good reason;
restricted shares held by participants who are terminated without cause or who leave for good reason during the third year following the occurrence of a change in control will become fully vested to the extent that vesting restrictions would have lapsed within one year after being terminated without cause or leaving for good reason; and
since under the two-year performance-based program restricted shares are not issued until after the end of the applicable two-year performance periods, the company will issue to a participant on the date such participant is terminated without cause or leaves for good reason the number of restricted shares a participant would have been entitled to receive had the performance goals been achieved at the 100% target rate in the then ongoing two-year performance-based restricted stock programs.
A participants current total annual compensation equals his or her highest rate of annual salary during the calendar year in which his or her employment terminates or the year immediately prior to the year of such termination, plus his or her average annual bonus compensation earned in respect of the two most recent calendar years immediately preceding the calendar year in which his or her employment terminates.
The change in control payments due to Messrs. Reidy, Benson and Stoeckert are payable solely pursuant to the terms of the change in control plan. However, Messrs. Butler and Martone are both entitled to receive, on an item-by-item basis, the greater of the benefits and payments and more favorable conditions provided under the change in control plan and/or, in the case of Mr. Butler, his employment agreement entered into on June 28, 2006 and, in the case of Mr. Martone, the change of control agreement entered into on November 15, 2006.
42
A change in control will have occurred if:
any person (as defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act), excluding the company, any subsidiary of the company, or any employee benefit plan sponsored or maintained by the company (including any trustee of any such plan acting in its capacity as trustee), becomes the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the company representing 35% or more of the total combined voting power of the companys then outstanding securities;
there occurs a merger, consolidation or other business combination of the company (a transaction), other than a transaction immediately following which the stockholders of the company immediately prior to the transaction continue to be the beneficial owners of securities of the resulting entity representing more than 65% of the voting power in the resulting entity, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of company voting securities immediately prior to the transaction; or
there occurs the sale of all or substantially all of the companys assets, other than a sale immediately following which the stockholders of the company immediately prior to the sale are the beneficial owners of securities of the purchasing entity representing more than 65% of the voting power in the purchasing entity, in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of company voting securities immediately prior to the transaction.
If instructed by a participant, the company will reduce payments under the change in control plan to avoid the application of excise taxes pursuant to Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Employment Agreement with Mr. Butler
Mr. Butler entered into an employment agreement with the company on June 28, 2006. The employment agreement provides that the companys obligation to make payments to Mr. Butler will cease on the date he is terminated for cause, i.e. if he has:
been convicted of a felony and such conviction has been upheld by a final ruling of court of law;
failed or refused to perform his obligations as chief executive officer;
committed any act of negligence in the performance of his duties under the employment agreement and failed to take appropriate corrective action (if such corrective action can be taken); or
committed any act of willful misconduct.
If the company terminates Mr. Butlers employment for any reason other than (i) for cause, as discussed above, (ii) for death or permanent or serious disability, either physical or mental, (iii) on account of a change in control, or (iv) because the compensation committee either deems it to be in the companys best interests for Mr. Butler to retire before his 65th birthday (or if Mr. Butler elects to retire after his 65th birthday) or confers on any other person any authority, duties, responsibilities or powers superior or equal to the authority, duties, responsibilities or powers that Mr. Butler has as the companys chief executive officer on August 31, 2006, Mr. Butler will, for 24 months after such termination date:
receive his annual base salary;
have his stock options continue to vest;
have the restrictions on his restricted stock continue to lapse (without regard to any performance goals); and
continue to participate in each of the then ongoing performance-based restricted stock programs and the Growth Incentive Program, in the same manner as would have been the case had he continued to be an employee of the company and, if the performance goals established by the compensation committee under the applicable programs have been met, Mr. Butler will receive the number of shares of restricted stock or cash, as the case may be, that he would have been entitled to receive had he continued to be an employee of the company.
43
If Mr. Butler dies or becomes permanently and seriously disabled, either physically or mentally, so that he is absent from his office due to such disability and otherwise unable substantially to perform his services under the employment agreement, the company may terminate his employment. Under such circumstances, the company will continue to pay Mr. Butlers full compensation up to and including the effective date of his termination for death or disability. For 36 months after such termination date, he will:
receive his annual base salary;
receive his restricted stock (as all restrictions will be removed for 36 months) and unvested stock options, all of which will automatically vest on the date of his death or termination for disability; and
continue to participate in each of the then ongoing performance-based restricted stock programs and the Growth Incentive Program, in the same manner as would have been the case had he continued to be an employee of the company and, if the performance goals established by the compensation committee under the applicable programs have been met, he is to receive the number of shares of restricted stock or cash, as the case may be, that he would have been entitled to receive had he continued to be an employee of the company.
If Mr. Butler elects to voluntarily leave in the absence of a change in control (other than where the compensation committee determines that it is in the companys best interests for Mr. Butler to retire before his 65th birthday or confers on any other person any authority, duties, responsibilities or powers superior or equal to the authority, duties, responsibilities or powers that Mr. Butler had as chief executive officer of the company on August 31, 2006, or if Mr. Butler elects to retire after his 65th birthday), the companys obligation to make any payment to Mr. Butler will cease on the date his employment ends.
If Mr. Butlers employment is terminated other than for cause, or he resigns for good reason, within 24 months following a change in control of the company:
he will receive a lump sum termination payment equal to a percentage, ranging from 300% if such termination occurs within two years after such change in control, to 200% if it occurs in the third year, to 100% if it occurs after the third year, of his current total annual compensation;
all of his stock options will become fully vested and all of his restricted stock having restrictions lapsing within three years after such termination will have such restrictions automatically removed (without regard to any performance goals);
the number of shares of restricted stock Mr. Butler would have been entitled to receive had the performance goals been achieved at the 100% target rate in each of the then ongoing performance-based restricted stock programs is to be immediately and automatically issued to him and all restrictions thereon removed; and
if the change in control occurs prior to the completion of the Growth Incentive Program, he will receive the same payment that he otherwise would have received had the Growth Incentive Program achieved its 100% target rate.
For purposes of the employment agreement, good reason means any action which results in a diminution in any respect in Mr. Butlers current position, authority, duties or responsibilities as the companys chief executive officer, or a reduction in the overall level of his compensation or benefits.
Mr. Butlers employment agreement provides that in the event any payment to him following a change in control results in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, he will receive an additional payment such that after the payment of all such excise taxes and any taxes on the additional payments, he will be in the same after-tax position as if no excise tax had been imposed.
If the compensation committee deems it to be in the companys best interests that Mr. Butler retires prior to reaching his 65th birthday or if he decides to retire at any time after his 65th birthday, then:
on the date of his retirement, all of Mr. Butlers restricted stock then owned by him will continue to be owned by him and the restrictions thereon will continue to lapse in the same manner as would have been the case had he continued to be an employee of the company;
44
Mr. Butler will continue to participate in each of the then ongoing performance-based restricted stock programs and the Growth Incentive Program in the same manner as would have been the case had he continued to be an employee the company and he will receive the number of shares of restricted stock and/or cash, as the case may be, he would have been entitled to receive had he continued to be an employee of the company, the restrictions on which will continue to lapse in the same manner as would have been the case had he continued to be an employee the company; and
all of Mr. Butlers outstanding unvested stock options will vest on his retirement date.
If our board of directors confers on any other person (including any other director, officer or associate of the company) any authority, duties, responsibilities or powers superior or equal to the authority, duties, responsibilities or powers Mr. Butler had as our chief executive officer on August 31, 2006, Mr. Butler may deem such action to constitute a request that he immediately retire in the best interests of the company, in which case the arrangements set forth in the foregoing paragraph will apply.
If Mr. Butlers employment terminates other than for cause, then, under the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan, his final average annual pay will be deemed to include the applicable compensation attributable to the periods covered by the termination payments made to Mr. Butler under his employment agreement. If the compensation committee deems it to be in the companys best interests that Mr. Butler retire prior to his 65th birthday, any early retirement benefit payable under the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan will not be actuarially reduced to reflect the payment of benefits before his normal retirement date.
Change in Control Agreement with Mr. Martone
Mr. Martone entered into a change in control agreement with the company on November 15, 2006. The agreement provides that if Mr. Martone is terminated without cause or if Mr. Martone leaves for good reason during the two-year period following the occurrence of a change in control, Mr. Martone will receive a lump sum payment equal to 200% of his current total annual compensation. This termination payment will be reduced to 150% or 100% of Mr. Martones current total annual compensation if such termination or resignation occurs during the third year, or more than three years, respectively, following the occurrence of a change of control.
In addition, all of Mr. Martones stock options will become fully vested, and all of his restricted stock having restrictions lapsing within three years after the date of such termination or resignation will have such restrictions automatically removed. In the event any payment to Mr. Martone following a change in control results in the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, he will receive an additional payment such that after the payment of all such excise taxes and any taxes on the additional payments, he will be in the same after-tax position as if no excise tax had been imposed.
Employment Agreement with Mr. Reidy
Mr. Reidy entered into an employment agreement with the company on August 1, 2006. The agreement provides that if Mr. Reidy is non-voluntarily terminated from the company within the first three years of his employment, he will receive two years of base salary, bonus and restricted stock. After the third year of his employment, Mr. Reidy will be entitled to separation pay equal to one year of base salary, bonus and restricted stock.
Health Coverage
Certain executives who terminate employment with the company after they have attained age 55 and been credited with ten years of service are eligible to participate in our executive retiree medical plan.

Payments upon Retirement
for
Arthur F. Weinbach
Mr. Weinbach retired as our chief executive officer on August 31, 2006 and all of his unvested stock options became fully vested at that time. The value of the option spread (the difference between the fair market value of the shares of stock under option and the exercise price of the stock under option) of the options which were accelerated on Mr. Weinbachs retirement was $6,886,957. In connection with Mr. Weinbachs retirement, Mr. Weinbach also became entitled to his pension benefit under our Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan. In accordance with the terms of that plan, Mr. Weinbachs benefits commence at the latter of age 60 or his date of retirement. The present value of Mr. Weinbachs Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan benefit on June 30, 2007 (the last day of our fiscal year) was $7,229,691. We provide Mr. Weinbach with secretarial support and travel group services. The secretarial support and travel group services have no aggregate incremental cost to us as we pay the cost of the secretary and the travel services group irrespective of whether Mr. Weinbach uses either one. During fiscal year 2007, we provided Mr. Weinbach with a leased automobile, which had an actual cost to us of $13,778. We continue to provide medical coverage to Mr. Weinbach and we determined the present value of his coverage to be $16,000. We determined this present value using a discount rate of 6.25% and a medical inflation rate beginning at 9.5% for 2007-2008 and ultimately settling at 5% by 2014.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
The audit committee oversees the financial management of the company, the companys independent auditors and financial reporting procedures of the company on behalf of the board of directors. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the committee reviewed and discussed the companys audited financial statements with management, which has primary responsibility for the preparation of the financial statements. In performing its review, the committee discussed the propriety of the application of accounting principles by the company, the reasonableness of significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements. Management represented to the audit committee that the companys financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The committee also reviewed and discussed the companys audited financial statements with Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, the companys independent auditors for the fiscal year 2007, which is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the companys audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles.
During the course of fiscal year 2007, management completed the documentation, testing and evaluation of the companys system of internal control over financial reporting in response to the requirements set forth in Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations. The audit committee was kept apprised of the progress of the evaluation and provided oversight and advice to management during the process. In connection with this oversight, the audit committee received periodic updates provided by management and Deloitte & Touche LLP at each audit committee meeting. At the conclusion of the process, management provided the audit committee with, and the audit committee reviewed, a report on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting. The audit committee also reviewed the report of management contained in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 filed with the SEC, as well as Deloitte & Touche LLPs Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 related to its audit of (i) the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule, (ii) managements assessment of the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting and (iii) the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. The audit committee continues to oversee the companys efforts related to its internal control over financial reporting and managements preparations for the evaluation in fiscal year 2007.
The audit committee has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters that are required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication With Audit Committees), as amended. Deloitte & Touche LLP has provided to the committee the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the committee discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the firms independence, including the matters in those written disclosures. The committee also considered whether Deloitte & Touche LLPs provision of non-audit services to the company and its affiliates and the fees and costs billed and expected to be billed by Deloitte & Touche LLP for those services, is compatible with Deloitte & Touche LLPs independence. The audit committee has discussed with the companys internal auditors and with Deloitte & Touche LLP, with and without management present, their evaluations of the companys internal accounting controls and the overall quality of the companys financial reporting.
In addition, the committee discussed with management, and took into consideration when issuing this report, the Auditor Independence Policy, which prohibits the company or any of its affiliates from entering into most non-audit related consulting arrangements with its independent auditors on a going-forward basis. The Auditor Independence Policy is discussed in further detail below under Independent Registered Public Accounting Firms Fees.
Based on the considerations referred to above, the audit committee recommended to the board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. In addition, the committee appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent auditors for the company for the fiscal year 2008, subject to the ratification by the stockholders at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS FEES
In addition to retaining Deloitte & Touche LLP to audit the consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2007, the audit committee retained Deloitte & Touche LLP to provide various services in fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2006. The aggregate fees billed by Deloitte & Touche LLP in fiscal year 2007 and fiscal year 2006 for these various services were:
Type of Fees | FY 2007 | FY 2006 | ||||

Audit Fees | $ | 6,208 | $ | 5,834 | ||
Audit-Related Fees | $ | 8,384 | $ | 5,352 | ||
Tax Fees | $ | 1,027 | $ | 1,034 | ||
All Other Fees | $ | 0 | $ | 0 | ||
Total | $ | 15,619 | $ | 12,220 |
In the above table, in accordance with SEC definitions, audit fees are fees we paid Deloitte & Touche LLP for professional services for the audit of the companys consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K and review of financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, services that are normally provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements or any other services performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP to comply with generally accepted auditing standards, as well as the fees for the audit of managements assessment of internal control over financial reporting, as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Section 404; audit-related fees are fees billed by Deloitte & Touche LLP for assurance and related services that are typically performed by the independent public accountant (e.g., due diligence services, employee benefit plan audits and internal control reviews); tax fees are fees for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning; and all other fees are fees billed by Deloitte & Touche LLP to the company for any services not included in the first three categories.
The board of directors has adopted an auditor independence policy that prohibits our independent auditors from providing:
bookkeeping or other services related to the accounting records or financial statements of the company;
financial information systems design and implementation services;
appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports;
actuarial services;
internal audit outsourcing
