Stockholders of record at the close of business on September 9, 2011 are entitled to vote at the meeting. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held at that time.

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 proxy accompanying printed proxy materials in the enclosed envelope, which requires no postage if mailed in the United States.

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.

INTERNET AVAILABILITY OF PROXY MATERIALS

Under rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are furnishing proxy materials to our stockholders primarily via the Internet, instead of mailing printed copies of those materials to each stockholder. On September 27, 2011, we commenced the mailing to our stockholders (other than those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery) of a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials, including our proxy statement and our annual report on Form 10-K. The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also instructs you on how to access your proxy card to vote through the Internet or by telephone.

This process is designed to expedite stockholders’ receipt of proxy materials, lower the cost of the annual meeting, and help conserve natural resources. However, if you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. If you have previously elected to receive our proxy materials electronically, you will continue to receive these materials via e-mail unless you elect otherwise.

PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS OF

AUTOMATIC DATA PROCESSING, INC.
One ADP Boulevard ● Roseland, New Jersey 07068

TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 8, 2011

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 company’s secretary. The company will bear all expenses in connection with this solicitation. We made this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy available to stockholders on or about September 27, 2011.

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 9, 2011, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the meeting, we had 488,293,678 issued and outstanding shares of common stock (excluding 150,418,764 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. 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.

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 company’s independent certified public accountants. Votes may be cast in favor of or against this proposal or a stockholder may abstain from voting. Abstentions will have the effect of a negative vote.

Stockholders may vote in favor of or against, or may abstain from voting on, the approval of the advisory resolution on executive compensation. Stockholders will be able to specify one of four choices for the advisory vote on the frequency of future advisory votes on executive compensation: one year, two years, three years or abstain.

Brokers have the authority to vote shares for which their customers did not provide voting instructions on the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP. Under applicable Delaware law, a broker non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of any of the matters referred to in this proxy statement because the non-votes are not considered in determining the number of votes necessary for approval.

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.

PROPOSAL 1

Our Directors

Properly executed proxies will be voted as marked. Unmarked proxies will be voted in favor of electing the persons named below (each of whom is now a director) as directors to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Stockholder Approval Required

At the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, directors will be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares represented in person or by proxy and entitled to vote thereon, 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

It is our policy that our directors attend the Annual Meetings of Stockholders. All of the current members of the board of directors who were elected at last year’s meeting attended our 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

During fiscal year 2011, our board of directors held five meetings. All of our incumbent 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 NASDAQ listing standards and are available online at www.adp.com/about-us/governance/corporate-governance-principles/standards-of-director-independence.aspx. Directors meeting these standards are considered to be “independent.” Ms. Gooden, and Messrs. Brenneman, Brun, Clark, Fast, Hubbard, Jones, Salem and Summe meet these standards and are, therefore, considered to be independent directors. Mr. Butler does not meet these standards and is, therefore, not

considered to be an independent director. Based on the foregoing categorical standards, all current members of the audit, compensation and nominating/corporate governance committees are independent. Mr. Brun, our independent non-executive chairman of the board, is not a member of any of these board committees.

The table below provides membership and meeting information for each of the committees of the board of directors.

Board Leadership Structure

Our Corporate Governance Principles do not require the separation of the roles of chairman of the board and chief executive officer because the board believes that effective board leadership can depend on the skills and experience of, and personal interaction between, people in leadership roles. Our board of directors is currently led by Mr. Brun, our independent non-executive chairman of the board. Mr. Butler, our chief executive officer, serves as a member of the board of directors. The board of directors believes this leadership structure is in the best interests of the company’s stockholders at this time. Separating these positions allows our chief executive officer to focus on developing and implementing the company’s business plans and supervising the company’s day-to-day business operations and allows our chairman of the board to lead the board of directors in its oversight, advisory and risk management roles.

Executive Sessions

Executive sessions of the non-management directors are held during each board of directors and committee meeting. Mr. Brun, our independent non-executive chairman of the board, presides at each 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. In addition, the nominating/corporate governance committee considers a wide range of other factors in determining the composition of our board of directors, including age, diversity of background, diversity of thought and other individual qualities such as professional experience, skills, education and training. 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 company’s 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

Each director will automatically retire from the board of directors at the company’s 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.

Audit Committee

The audit committee acts under a written charter, which is available online at http://www.adp.com/about-us/governance/audit-committee-charter.aspx. The members of the audit committee satisfy the independence requirements of NASDAQ listing standards. The audit committee’s principal functions are to assist the board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to (i) our systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting, legal compliance and ethical behavior, (ii) our auditing, accounting and financial reporting processes generally, (iii) our financial statements and other financial information which we provide to our stockholders, the public and others, (iv) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and (v) the performance of our corporate audit department and our independent auditors.

Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee

The nominating/corporate governance committee acts under a written charter, which is available online at http://www.adp.com/about-us/governance/nominating-corporate-governance-committee-charter.aspx. The members of the nominating/corporate governance committee satisfy the independence requirements of NASDAQ listing standards. The principal functions of the nominating/corporate governance committee are to (i) identify individuals qualified to become members of the board of directors and recommend a slate of nominees to the board of directors annually, (ii) ensure that the audit, compensation and nominating/corporate governance committees of the board of directors have the benefit of qualified and experienced independent directors, (iii) review and reassess annually the adequacy of the board of directors’ corporate governance principles and recommend changes as appropriate and (iv) oversee the evaluation of the board of directors and management and recommend to the board of directors senior managers to be elected as new corporate vice presidents of the company.

Compensation Committee

The compensation committee acts under a written charter, which is available online at http://www.adp.com/about-us/governance/compensation-committee-charter.aspx. The members of the compensation committee satisfy the independence requirements of NASDAQ listing standards. In addition, each member of the compensation committee is a “Non-Employee Director” as defined in Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and an “outside director” as defined in the regulations under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”).

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 2011, the committee sought advice from Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc., an independent compensation consulting firm specializing in executive and director compensation. For further information about Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc.’s services to the compensation committee, see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” below.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Our board of directors provides oversight with respect to the company’s risk assessment and risk management activities, which are designed to identify, prioritize, assess, monitor and mitigate material risks to the company, including financial, operational, compliance and strategic risks. The board of directors administers this oversight function principally through its audit committee and its compensation committee. The audit committee focuses

on financial risks, including reviewing with management, the company’s internal auditors and the company’s independent auditors the company’s major financial risk exposures, the adequacy and effectiveness of accounting and financial controls and the steps management has taken to monitor and control financial risk exposures. The audit committee also regularly receives, reviews and discusses with management presentations and analyses on our aggregate risk exposures, including market, credit and operational risks.

Our compensation committee considered at its meetings in August 2010 and 2011 the risks presented by the company’s compensation policies and practices. The compensation committee believes that our policies and practices of compensating employees do not encourage excessive and unnecessary risk-taking for the following reasons:

Our incentive plans have diverse performance measures, including company and business unit financial measures, operational measures and individual goals.
Our compensation programs balance annual and long-term incentive opportunities.
We cap incentive plan payouts within a reasonable range.
The mix of performance-based restricted stock and stock options in our long-term incentive programs serves the best interests of stockholders and the company.
Our stock ownership guidelines link the interests of our executive officers to those of our stockholders.
Our compensation recovery policy for new equity awards provides for the clawback of the value of awards in the event an employee engages in conduct contributing to a financial restatement.

Our compensation and audit committees report on risk oversight matters directly to the board of directors on a regular basis.

Communications with All Interested Parties

All interested parties who wish to communicate with the board of directors, the audit committee or the non-management directors, individually or as a group, may do so by sending a detailed letter to P.O. Box 34, Roseland, New Jersey 07068, leaving a message for a return call at 973-974-5770 or sending an email to adp_audit_committee@adp.com. We will relay any such communication to the non-management director to which such communication is addressed, if applicable, or to the most appropriate committee chairperson, the chairman of the board or the full board of directors, unless, in any case, they are outside the scope of matters considered by the board of directors or duplicative of other communications previously forwarded to the board of directors. Communications to the board of directors, the non-management directors or to any individual director that relate to the company’s accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters are referred to the chairperson of the audit committee.

Transactions with Related Persons

We have a written “Related Persons Transaction Policy” pursuant to which any transaction between the company and a “related person” in which such related person has a direct or indirect material interest, and where the amount involved exceeds $120,000, must be submitted to our audit committee for review, approval or ratification.

A “related person” means a director, executive officer or beneficial holder of more than 5% of the company’s outstanding common stock, or any immediate family member of the foregoing, as well as any entity at which any such person is employed, is a partner or principal (or holds a similar position), or is a beneficial owner of a 10% or greater direct or indirect equity interest. Our directors and executive officers must inform our general counsel at the earliest practicable time of any plan to engage in a potential related person transaction.

This policy requires our audit committee to be provided with full information concerning the proposed transaction, including the benefits to the company and the related person, any alternative means by which to obtain like benefits, and terms that would prevail in a similar transaction with an unaffiliated third party. In considering whether to approve any such transaction, the audit committee will consider all relevant factors, including the nature of the interest of the related person in the transaction and whether the transaction may involve a conflict of interest.

Specific types of transactions are excluded from the policy, such as, for example, transactions in which the related person’s interest derives solely from his or her service as a director of another entity that is a party to the transaction.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Messrs. Brenneman, Hubbard, Jones and Summe are the four independent directors who sit on the compensation committee. No compensation committee member has ever been an officer of the company. During fiscal year 2011 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 company’s 2008 Omnibus Award Plan under which non-employee directors have received stock option grants and deferred stock units. None of the 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

Effective at the time of the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the annual retainer for non-employee directors who serve the entire year, other than Mr. Brun, the chairman of our board of directors, is $167,500, $110,000 of which is paid in the form of deferred stock units and $57,500 of which may, at the election of each director, be paid in cash, deferred or paid in deferred stock units. The chairman of our board of directors receives an annual retainer of $262,500, $205,000 of which is paid in the form of deferred stock units and $57,500 of which may, at the election of the chairman of our board of directors, be paid in cash, deferred or paid in deferred stock units. The chairperson of the audit committee was paid an additional annual retainer of $10,000 and the chairperson of each of the compensation committee and the nominating/corporate governance committee was paid an additional annual retainer of $5,000. Meeting fees are not paid in respect of the first seven meetings of the board of directors or of any individual committee. Non-employee directors receive $2,000 for each board of directors meeting attended and $1,500 for each committee meeting attended beginning with the eighth meeting of the board of directors or any individual committee, as applicable.

All of our non-employee directors chose to receive the elective portion of their annual retainers as deferred stock units. Messrs. Brenneman and Cooperman and Ms. Gooden elected to receive all other elective amounts in cash, and Mr. Cooperman elected to defer receipt of these amounts. Messrs. Brun, Fast, Hubbard, Jones, Salem, Summe and Ms. Rowlands elected to receive all other elective amounts as deferred stock units. Under our 2008 Omnibus Award Plan a director may specify whether, upon separation from the board, he or she would like to receive the deferred cash amounts in such director’s 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.

Pursuant to our 2008 Omnibus Award Plan, each non-employee director is credited with an annual grant of deferred stock units on the date established by the board for the payment of the annual retainer equal in number to the quotient of $110,000 ($205,000 in the case of the chairman of the board of directors) divided by the closing price of a share of our common stock on the date this amount is credited. Deferred stock units are fully vested when credited to a director’s account. When a dividend is paid on our common stock, each director’s 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 deferred stock units in such director’s account and a

cash payment equal to the dividend payments accrued, plus interest on the dividend equivalents 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 deferred stock units.

Prior to our 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, all non-employee directors who served the entire year, other than the chairman of our board of directors, were paid an annual retainer of $105,000. The chairman of our board of directors received an annual retainer of $200,000. In addition, all non-employee directors received $2,000 for each board of directors meeting attended and $1,500 for each committee meeting attended. Pursuant to our 2008 Omnibus Award Plan, $65,000 of the annual retainer was required to be paid in the form of deferred stock units of our common stock. Non-employee directors (including committee chairpersons) were allowed to elect to receive the elective portion of the annual retainer and meeting fees in cash, to defer the receipt of such amounts or to receive such amounts as deferred stock units of our common stock.

Non-employee directors no longer receive annual stock option grants. Prior to our 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, upon initial election to the board of directors, a non-employee director received a grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock if such director attended a regularly scheduled board of directors meeting prior to the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Thereafter, a non-employee director received an annual grant of options to purchase 5,000 shares of common stock. All such options were granted under the 2008 Omnibus Award Plan, have a term of ten years and were granted at the fair market value of the common stock as determined by the closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market on the date of the grant.

Options granted to our non-employee directors under the 2008 Omnibus Award Plan are exercisable in four equal installments, with the first twenty-five percent becoming exercisable on the first anniversary of the option’s grant date, and the remaining three installments becoming exercisable on each successive anniversary date thereafter. The options vest only while a director is serving in such capacity, unless certain specified events occur, such as death or permanent 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 have served as non-employee directors for fewer than ten years at the time 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.

We have adopted changes to the compensation of our non-employee directors to become effective at the time of the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The annual retainer for non-employee directors who serve the entire year, other than the chairman of our board of directors, will be increased to $205,000, $125,000 of which will be paid in the form of deferred stock units and $80,000 of which may, at the election of each director, be paid in cash, deferred or paid in deferred stock units. The chairman of our board of directors will receive an annual retainer of $360,000, $220,000 of which will be paid in the form of deferred stock units and $140,000 of which may, at the election of the chairman of our board of directors, be paid in cash, deferred or paid in deferred stock units. The additional annual retainer for the chairperson of the audit committee will be increased to $15,000 and the additional annual retainer for the chairperson of each of the compensation committee and the nominating/corporate governance committee will be increased to $10,000.

Our share ownership guidelines are intended to promote ownership in the company’s stock by our non-employee directors and to align their financial interests more closely with those of other stockholders of the company. Each non-employee director has a minimum shareholding requirement of our common stock equal to five times his or her annual cash retainer.

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 2011.

(9)		Reflects the aggregate increase in the present value of the pension benefit and actuarial plans. Non-employee directors who joined the board after August 13, 1997 are not eligible to receive this benefit. The present values as of June 30, 2010 are based on the RP-2000 white collar mortality table (projected to 2017) and a 5.25% discount rate. The present values as of June 30, 2011 are based on the RP-2000 white collar mortality table (projected to 2018) and a 5.40% discount rate. The change in the present value of pension benefit for Mr. Cooperman was negative $5,183; pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules we reflected $0 for this amount.

(10)		Reflects contributions by the ADP Foundation that match charitable gifts made by our directors. The ADP foundation makes matching charitable contributions in an amount not to exceed $20,000 in a calendar year in respect of any given director’s charitable contributions for that calendar year. Amounts in the Director

Compensation Table may exceed $20,000 because, while matching charitable contributions are limited to $20,000 in a calendar year, the Director Compensation Table reflects matching charitable contributions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

(1)	Includes 1,391,815 shares of restricted stock issuable under our fiscal year 2011 one-year performance-based restricted stock program (which shares were issued in September 2011) and 143,328 shares issuable upon settlement of deferred stock units held by our directors. The remaining balance consists of outstanding stock options. Weighted average exercise price shown in column (b) of this table does not take into account awards under our performance-based restricted stock program or deferred stock units.

(2)	Includes 33,200,748 shares available for future issuance under the 2008 Omnibus Award Plan and 5,715,567 shares of common stock remaining available for future issuance under the Employees’ Savings-Stock Purchase Plan. Approximately 321,722 shares of common stock were subject to purchase as of June 30, 2011 under the Employees’ Savings-Stock Purchase Plan.

(3)	Represents (i) the 1989 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan and (ii) the Amended and Restated Employees’ Saving-Stock Option Plan for our employees based in France, neither of which have been approved by the company’s 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 1989 Non-Employee 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 1989 Non-Employee 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 1989 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan have a term of ten years.

	4,083 shares of common stock are subject to purchase during current purchase periods under the Employees’ Saving-Stock Option Plan for our employees based in France. The board of directors adopted the plan in January 1996 and terminated the plan in April 2009 with respect to future offerings thereunder. The plan was designed to satisfy French tax requirements. The plan offered our French employees an opportunity to purchase shares of common stock at 85% of the market value for such stock at the date the purchase price for the offering was determined. Employees of the company based in France were granted an option to purchase shares of our common stock under annual offerings that commenced on January 1 of each calendar year and continued for 48 months to close on December 31 of the fourth year following commencement. Each eligible employee could elect to receive 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 up 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

Executive Summary

The compensation committee of our board of directors determines the compensation of our chief executive officer and reviews, modifies and approves the chief executive officer’s compensation recommendations for our other key executive officers.

This section of the proxy statement explains how our executive compensation programs are designed and operate with respect to our named executive officers by discussing the following fundamental aspects of our compensation program:

compensation principles;
cash compensation;
long-term incentive compensation; and
other compensation components and considerations (including retirement benefits and deferred compensation).

We design our compensation programs to link pay to performance and levels of responsibility, to encourage our executive officers to remain focused on both short-term and long-term operational and financial goals of the company and to link executive performance to stockholder value. We also believe that it is important for our named executive officers to have an ongoing long-term investment in the company as outlined below under “Share Ownership Guidelines”.

We are pleased with the strong results we achieved in fiscal 2011 coming out of a challenging year in fiscal 2010 as we continued to leverage the strength of our core business model. Our business model with its highly recurring revenue base continued to generate strong, consistent cash flows, which enabled continued investment in our product offerings and in sales and client service associates. Our key business metrics continued to trend positively and were the strongest they have been in three years. We closed multiple acquisitions that are expected to enhance future organic revenues. The strength of our fiscal 2011 operating cash flows allowed us to continue to return excess cash to our shareholders through continued dividends and share buybacks while investing in acquisitions. The compensation committee considered our strong financial performance in their discussion regarding our incentive plans and believes that incentive plan payouts are commensurate with our performance.

Our financial performance in fiscal year 2011 impacted compensation of our executive officers under those compensation programs that directly align the interests of executives with those of stockholders, such as annual cash bonuses and performance-based restricted stock awards. Our fiscal year 2011 earnings per share growth was 6.3% compared to a target of 2.0% under our cash bonus program for our executive officers. Revenue growth was 11% compared to a target of 4.0%. These two performance measures were common to the incentive compensation of all of our executive officers. In fiscal year 2011, our named executive officers received cash bonuses that averaged approximately 151% of target. Our one-year earnings per share growth for fiscal year 2011 resulted in awards to our executive officers of restricted stock under our one-year performance-based restricted stock program at 125% of target. The tables below illustrate the alignment between company performance and our chief executive officer’s incentive compensation:

Compensation Principles

We believe that compensation should be designed to create a direct link between performance and stockholder value. Four principles that guide us as we make decisions involving executive compensation are that compensation should be:

based on (i) each executive’s individual performance, (ii) the performance of such executive’s business unit and (iii) the overall performance of the company;
closely aligned with the short-term and long-term financial and strategic objectives that build sustainable long-term stockholder value;
competitive in order to attract and retain executives critical to our long-term success; and
consistent with high standards of corporate governance and designed to discourage the incentive for executives to take risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the company or to behave in ways that are inconsistent with the company’s strategic planning processes and internal standards of behavior.

Our compensation programs are designed so that target pay reflects relative levels of responsibility among our key executives. Overall targeted compensation opportunities are generally similar for key executives who have comparable levels of responsibility. 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 and a total annual cash compensation range, as well as ranges for annual equity grants.

We design our performance-based compensation so that variation in performance will result in significant variation in the earned compensation deliverable to our key executives. As such, actual compensation amounts may vary above or below targeted levels depending on performance of a business unit and achievement of individual performance goals. We have adopted this compensation design to provide meaningful incentives for our key executives to achieve excellent results.

Earnings per share growth and revenue growth are important performance measures in annual bonus determinations, and earnings per share growth is used to determine the number of shares earned in a performance period under our performance-based restricted stock program. These performance criteria were chosen for the variable incentive plans because they focus our executive officers on the company’s long-term strategic goals of driving the growth and profitability of our business, which drives stockholder value. The earnings per share measurement we use is diluted earnings per share from continuing operations; however, we exclude the impact of certain favorable one-time tax items in fiscal 2011 and fiscal 2010.

Elements of Compensation

The following table summarizes the major elements of our fiscal year 2011 executive officer compensation programs.

Compensation Element	Objectives	Key Characteristics
Base Salary	To provide a fixed amount for performing the duties and responsibilities of the position	Determined based on overall performance, level of responsibility, pay grade, competitive compensation practices data and comparison to other company executives
Annual Cash Bonus	To motivate executive officers to achieve individual, business unit and company-wide business goals	Payment based on achievement of target individual, business unit and company-wide business goals
Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards	To motivate executive officers to achieve certain longer-term goals	Awards based on target growth in earnings per share Shares issued following applicable performance period, subject to an additional vesting period
Stock Options	To attract and retain executive officers and align their interests with long-term stockholders’ interests	Granted annually based on pay grades and individual performance Grants vest over four years
Retirement Plans	To attract and retain mid- to late-career executive talent	Provides a retirement benefit with a competitive income replacement ratio at normal retirement age

The mix of total direct compensation (base salary, annual incentive awards and long-term incentive awards) for fiscal year 2011 was designed to deliver the following approximate proportions of total compensation to our chief executive officer and the other named executive officers (on average) if company and individual target levels of performance are achieved.

Compensation Review and Determination

Our annual pay review focuses on base salary, annual bonus and long-term equity incentives. In determining the compensation of our named executive officers, we consider the type of business we are in and the nature of our organization. The compensation committee also considers market data provided by their compensation consultant and by management. Management provides the compensation committee with a history of base salary, bonus and equity grant practices for the preceding three years and an analysis of the grant sizes consistent with our target for each named executive officer. The compensation committee examines summary compensation sheets detailing the amounts and mix of these compensation components for each of our named executive officers, which compare the amounts and mix to competitive compensation practices. We generally target base salary, annual bonus and long-term equity incentives at the median of competitive compensation practices, but we will set targets above or below the median when warranted in the discretion of the compensation committee.

We consult different sets of compensation data reflecting the practices of different groups of businesses to determine competitive compensation practices for our chief executive officer and other named executive officers.

Chief Executive Officer. In benchmarking the total cash and long-term incentive compensation of our chief executive officer, the compensation committee, at its June 2010 meeting, reviewed aggregated compensation data from all public companies with annual revenue between $6 billion and $12 billion (150 companies), which we believe is representative of the competitive environment we face with respect to senior executives. Utility companies were excluded because of the regulatory environment in which they operate. The median base salary, median target cash compensation and median target direct compensation (total cash plus long-term incentive compensation) of the comparison companies was $1,050,000, $2,489,000 and $7,231,000, respectively. Mr. Butler’s base salary is at the 36th percentile, his target cash compensation is at the 55th percentile and his target direct compensation is at the 39th percentile of the compensation of the chief executive officers of the comparison companies.

Other Named Executive Officers. With respect to the total cash and long-term incentive compensation for Messrs. Reidy, Rodriguez, Anenen and Ms. Lee, management (not including any of the named executive officers) prepared for the compensation committee competitive compensation market data based on compensation surveys reflecting the pay practices of publicly traded companies. The surveys we used were the Towers Perrin U.S. General Industry Executive Database, the Hewitt Associates Executive Total Compensation by Industry Survey, the Mercer Human Resources U.S. General Industry Executive Database and, for Mr. Reidy, the Equilar Top 25 Database. The companies included for Messrs. Rodriguez and Anenen and Ms. Lee were based on a revenue range such that the median company revenue approximates the annual revenue of the business units that the executive officer leads.

Differences in Compensation of Our Named Executive Officers

We carefully designed the pay mix for Mr. Butler to be competitive when measured against the pay packages of other chief executive officers as indicated by the compensation study.

We have found that due to the broad responsibilities and the experience required for the chief executive officer position, compensation for chief executive officers in public companies that are similar in size to ours is significantly higher than those for other named executive officers.

When determining the compensation level for each of our executive officers, the compensation committee reviews each individual compensation element based on the previous year’s level, as well as how the proposed level for that individual element would compare to the other executive officers. The aggregate level for each executive officer’s compensation is then compared against the executive’s previous year’s totals and against compensation of other executive officers of the company.

On June 1, 2011, Mr. Rodriguez became the company’s president and chief operating officer, and his compensation for fiscal year 2012 was adjusted to reflect his new role and additional responsibilities.

Compensation Consultant

The compensation committee has engaged the consulting firm Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“Cook & Co.”) to provide assistance with the design of our compensation programs, the development of comparative market-based compensation data for the chief executive officer position and the determination of compensation awards. The specific matters on which Cook & Co. provided advice in fiscal year 2011 were the design of executive compensation programs and practices and chief executive officer pay levels. In June 2010, Cook & Co. delivered to our compensation committee the results of a competitive assessment of compensation for use in determining 2011 target compensation for Mr. Butler. Cook & Co. also examined the mix of performance-based restricted stock and options proposed to be granted to our named executive officers in fiscal year 2011 and confirmed that the proposals for the named executive officers appeared reasonable and customary, given the company’s size and structure.

As part of its ongoing support to the compensation committee, Cook & Co. also reviews executive compensation disclosures (including this Compensation Discussion and Analysis), reviews and provides comments on changes to the committee’s charter, advises on emerging trends and the implications of regulatory and governance developments, and reviews and provides commentary on materials and proposals prepared by management that are presented at the committee’s meetings.

Cook & Co. has not provided any services to management.

Cash Compensation

Base Salary

Base salaries are a fixed amount paid to each executive for performing his or her normal duties and responsibilities. We determine the amount based on the executive’s overall performance, level of responsibility, pay grade, competitive compensation practices data and comparison to other company executives.

Our named executive officers received the following annual salary increases in July 2010:

Named Executive Officer	Increase
Mr. Butler	0.0	%
Mr. Reidy	2.0	%
Mr. Rodriguez	0.0	%
Ms. Lee	0.0	%
Mr. Anenen	13.3	%

The compensation committee, taking into account the recommendation of Cook & Co., decided to direct compensation increases for Mr. Butler toward incentive compensation rather than base salary to better align Mr. Butler’s overall compensation mix with peer practice and to increase the portion of compensation tied to changes in stockholder value and multi-year operating results. Mr. Rodriguez and Ms. Lee received salary increases in March 2010 to reflect additional responsibilities they assumed due to significant organizational changes, and did not receive an increase in fiscal year 2011.

Annual Cash Bonus

Overview

We paid our named executive officers cash bonuses for fiscal year 2011 based on the attainment of individual, business unit and company-wide business goals established at the beginning of the fiscal year.

For each executive officer, we establish a target bonus amount, which is initially expressed as a percentage of projected year-end annual base salary. This target bonus percentage ranges from 70% to 160% of base salary for the named executive officers. We also assign a percentage value to each bonus component of each named executive officer’s annual bonus plan and then determine the target bonus amount linked to each component. We establish these performance ranges to provide our named executive officers with a strong incentive to exceed the targets. 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 objectives and award opportunities for each of our named executive officers. In making these determinations, the compensation committee considers a variety of factors including market data, each officer’s relative level of responsibility, and for executives other than himself, the chief executive officer’s recommendations. Our named executive officers participate in the discussions surrounding their bonus objectives so that they can provide their input and understand the expectations of each bonus plan component. Each named executive officer receives a final version of his or her individualized bonus plan after it has been approved by the compensation committee. Except in extraordinary circumstances, bonus plan objectives are not modified during the fiscal year, and no bonus objectives were modified during fiscal year 2011.

The compensation committee reviews the performance of each of our named executive officers relative to the officer’s 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 this review, the compensation committee determines and approves the annual cash bonuses for each of our executive officers.

Named Executive Officers’ Fiscal Year 2011 Bonuses

Fiscal year 2011 target bonuses for the named executive officers were the same in percentage terms as in fiscal year 2010, except for Mr. Butler’s bonus target, which increased from 155% of base salary to 160%. Following the conclusion of fiscal year 2011, the compensation committee considered the performance of the company, the business units and the individual named executive officers for the 2011 fiscal year against the named executive officers’ bonus objectives, assessed which of the individual bonus targets were met, exceeded or not fully achieved and approved cash bonuses as follows:

	Target Bonus as Percentage		Target Bonus		Actual Bonus		Bonus Amount as
Named Executive Officer	of Base Salary		Amount		Amount		Percentage of Target
Mr. Butler	160	%	$	1,600,000	$	2,487,000	155	%
Mr. Reidy	80	%	$	434,000	$	667,900	154	%
Mr. Rodriguez	80	%	$	400,000	$	573,800	143	%
Ms. Lee	80	%	$	380,000	$	574,600	151	%
Mr. Anenen	70	%	$	298,000	$	453,300	152	%

The compensation committee established 2.0% earnings per share growth as a common target bonus objective for each of our named executive officers. This target was established to ensure alignment between the bonus plan and the range of our fiscal 2011 forecast of 1.0% to 3.0% earnings per share growth. For all named executive officers, with the exception of Mr. Butler, 200% of target was to be awarded for earnings per share growth of 6.0% or greater, and 0% of target was to be awarded for negative earnings per share growth. Mr. Butler’s target bonus objectives limited total payout to two times the target, but did not otherwise specify the payout for achieving earnings per share growth higher than 2.0%.

The compensation committee also established 4.0% revenue growth as a common target bonus objective for each of our name executive officers. This target was established to ensure that management was highly incented to exceed the range of our fiscal 2011 forecast of 1.0% to 3.0% revenue growth. For the other named executive officers, with the exception of Mr. Butler, 200% of target was to be awarded for revenue growth of 8.0% or greater, and 0% of target was to be awarded for negative revenue growth. Mr. Butler’s target bonus objectives limited total payout to two times the target, but did not otherwise specify the payout for achieving revenue growth higher than target.

The other target bonus objectives for the named executive officers are set forth in detail below.

Corporate Strategy: Develop new strategies to increase our sales and revenue growth rates for fiscal years 2012 through 2015. Improve market share gains, with emphasis on having a plan to address competitive threats. Successfully integrate recent acquisitions (other than for Ms. Lee). For Messrs. Butler and Reidy, achieve 1% to 2% of plan revenue through strategic acquisitions.

Succession and Executive Development: Achieve the following specified milestones in our succession planning and executive development initiatives:

Strengthen our leadership pipeline; and
Foster the success and development of specified executives

Diversity: Actively engage in diversity strategies and continue improving the representation of female and minority executives.

Service Profit Chain: Improve our service profit chain by enhancing service quality, increasing client satisfaction and retention levels and improving associate turnover levels.

Leadership: Achieve quality leadership accomplishments, successful involvement on the executive committee and, in the case of Mr. Reidy, an effective control environment.

Return on Equity: Achieve target return on equity of 21.0% from continuing operations. Maximum allocation for 22.0% return on equity from continuing operations.

Margin Improvement: Achieve initiatives to drive margin improvement for fiscal year 2012.

Division Financial Performance: Successfully achieve revenue, net operating income, sales and client retention equal to their respective divisions’ fiscal year 2011 planned results.

Division Initiatives: Drive division margin improvement for fiscal year 2012 and achieve 1.0% to 3.0% of plan revenue through strategic acquisitions.

Security Initiatives: Improve detection and threat management capability through the implementation of cyber monitoring, improve enterprise risk management capability and implement a technology-based fraud detection program.

Investor Relations: Achieve further improvements in investor relations, increased involvement of other executives and increased progress with the international investment community.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation Programs

We believe that long-term incentive compensation is a significant factor in attracting and retaining key executives and in aligning their interests directly with the interests of our stockholders. Long-term incentives are awarded in the form of performance-based restricted stock awards and stock option grants.

Based on a long-term incentive compensation study conducted with the assistance of Cook & Co. in April 2010, we decided to rebalance the weighting of stock options and performance-based restricted stock awards. As a result, for all of our named executive officers except our chief executive officer we have increased the performance-based restricted stock target awards from 60% to 70% of total long-term incentive compensation value and reduced the value of stock option awards by a corresponding amount. Mr. Butler’s employment agreement provides for a minimum annual stock option grant that results in a long-term incentive mix with a greater portion of stock options than the other named executive officers. For fiscal year 2011, Mr. Butler’s target long-term incentive mix had 55% of the value in performance-based restricted stock and 45% in stock options. We believe these grant value mixes provide us with a strong executive attraction and retention program. The compensation committee may also from time to time grant discretionary awards of time-based restricted stock to our executive officers. These awards are for special situations and are not considered in the target allocation of total long-term incentive compensation between performance-based restricted stock awards and stock option grants.

The target long-term incentive mix approved for fiscal year 2011 grants is shown in the following chart:

As part of our annual market analysis of compensation data, we compare our long-term equity incentive grant values with competitive practices. Based on median long-term incentive market practices, we determine share grant ranges for each executive level. On average, the number of shares executives receive is at the midpoint of the range. The compensation committee reviews the share grant ranges annually to ensure that the resulting values based on current stock price and option fair value remain generally consistent with our median compensation philosophy.

Prior to the beginning of each fiscal year, we analyze the performance-based restricted stock and stock option target award and grant levels to confirm that our desired target long-term incentive compensation values are appropriate in the context of the compensation studies referred to under “Compensation Review and Determination” above. When comparing our desired values to these compensation studies, we look at both equity elements in total.

In response to the volatile worldwide economic environment in 2009, the compensation committee established a one-year performance period for our performance-based restricted stock program beginning in fiscal year 2010 to address the challenges in projecting earnings per share growth. As we continued to have difficulty forecasting long-term earnings per share growth due to the economic environment, one-year performance-based restricted stock award targets were set in August 2010 for the fiscal year 2011 performance period.

At its August 2010 meeting, the compensation committee approved target awards of one-year performance based restricted stock for fiscal year 2011 for all named executive officers and the stock option grant for Mr. Butler. It has been historical practice to grant chief executive officer stock option awards annually in August. At its

February 2011 meeting, the compensation committee approved stock option grants for the other named executive officers. Performance-based restricted stock and stock option awards for fiscal year 2011 are summarized in the table below:

Named Executive Officer	Target PBRS Award		Stock Options
Mr. Butler		60,000		200,000
Mr. Reidy		13,000		20,000
Mr. Rodriguez		12,000		20,000
Ms. Lee		12,000		20,000
Mr. Anenen		8,500		15,000

The employment agreements of Messrs. Butler and Reidy affect their long-term incentive compensation. Messrs. Butler’s and Reidy’s employment agreements are summarized in more detail below under “Mr. Butler Employment Agreement” and “Mr. Reidy Employment Agreement”, respectively.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock

We use a performance-based restricted stock program to align the compensation of our key executives with long-term company operating performance.

In August 2010 we established target earnings per share growth of more than 1% for fiscal year 2011. In light of the challenging economic environment facing the company in fiscal year 2011, we determined that performance-based restricted stock awards were appropriate at reduced levels for earnings per share growth below the 1% target, even where such growth was below zero. Awards were to be adjusted upward or downward at the end of the performance period as follows:

	Restricted Stock Grant as
Earnings Per Share Growth	Percentage of Target
-5% or under		0%
>-5% to -3%		50%
>-3% to -1%		75%
>-1% to 1%		85%
>1% to 4%		100%
>4% to 6%		115%
>6% to 8%		125%
Over 8%		150%

Our actual earnings per share growth for fiscal year 2011 was 6.3%, resulting in awards of restricted stock at 125% of target level. These shares of restricted stock were issued in September 2011 and are scheduled to vest fully in March 2012. The program provides that if an executive officer terminates his or her employment with the company prior to the March 2012 vesting date, the unvested restricted stock will be forfeited, however, Mr. Butler’s restricted stock may vest or continue to vest in certain circumstances as described below under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers Upon Termination or Change In Control”.

Uncertainty in the worldwide economic environment has continued to make projecting earnings per share growth challenging. In response, the compensation committee maintained a one-year performance period for our fiscal year 2012 performance-based restricted stock program. Any shares of restricted stock earned under this program would be issued in September 2012 and would be scheduled to vest fully in March 2013.

Dividends are paid in respect of performance-based restricted stock after shares of restricted stock are granted and not during the performance period.

Stock Options

We grant stock options to our executive officers (other than our chief executive officer) based upon their pay grades. Stock options granted in April 2008 and thereafter generally vest over four years. The grant level for each pay grade is determined based on our annual review of our long-term incentive compensation program. Our chief

executive officer recommends to the compensation committee the number of stock options for our executive officers, other than himself. The compensation committee determined and approved stock option grants for our chief executive officer as part of a review of his entire compensation package based on the guidance of its compensation consultant, Cook & Co. The grant levels approved by the compensation committee for fiscal year 2011 were consistent with the grant levels approved for fiscal year 2010. Additional stock option grants may be made to assist us in recruiting, promoting or retaining executive officers.

While the compensation committee can consider a stock option grant at any time for our executive officers, it makes its regularly scheduled stock option grants at its first meeting in the calendar year. The compensation committee generally sets its calendar of meetings in August of each year and we do not coordinate this meeting date with any regularly scheduled announcement or corporate event.

Time-Based Restricted Stock

The compensation committee may from time to time grant discretionary awards of time-based restricted stock to our executive officers. These discretionary grants assist us in the recruitment, promotion or retention of executive officers. Our named executive officers did not receive time-based restricted stock grants in fiscal year 2011.

Other Compensation Components and Considerations

In addition to the components discussed above and the opportunity to participate in the same Employees’ Savings-Stock Purchase Plan and the same health and welfare benefits available to our US associates generally, we offer our executive officers retirement benefits, deferred compensation, perquisites and change in control protection. We believe these additional benefits are fair, competitive, consistent with our overall compensation philosophy and designed to ensure that we can effectively retain our 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). These plans are generally available to all US associates. Executive officers also participate in the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan, which provides retirement benefits to our 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 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, 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 executive’s deferred account balances, or investment earnings or losses on such balances, when we make compensation decisions. For fiscal year 2012, we have amended the deferred compensation plan to allow eligible participants the opportunity to defer receipt of their performance-based restricted stock awards.

Perquisites

In accordance with Mr. Butler’s employment agreement, he receives a fixed annual perquisite allowance of $125,000 that he allocates based on his personal needs.

We provide each of our executive officers the use of automobiles leased by the company. Consistent with our policy towards all attendees, we pay for the spouses of our executive officers to accompany them to our annual sales President’s Club events. Finally, the ADP Foundation makes contributions that match the charitable gifts made by our executive officers up to a maximum of $20,000 per calendar year.

We did not make any tax gross-up payments to our named executive officers in fiscal year 2011, except for payments related to relocation expenses, which are available to all associates who participate in the company’s relocation program.

Change in Control and Severance 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, pursuant to their employment agreements, Messrs. Butler and Reidy have individual arrangements described below under “Potential Payments To Named Executive Officers Upon Termination or Change of Control.”

Under our Change in Control Severance Plan for Corporate Officers, our executive officers have different separation entitlements from one another following the occurrence of a change in control. Our chief executive officer is entitled to severance equal to approximately three times base salary and bonus under some termination scenarios, while our other executive officers are entitled to severance equal to approximately one to one and one-half times base salary and bonus. We believe that a higher severance multiple for our chief executive officer is needed in order to attract the individual we believe is best suited for the office. Our chief executive officer is the individual the public and our stockholders most closely identify as the face of the company. He has the greatest individual impact on our success, and he faces the greatest personal risks when the company takes risks. Our Change in Control Severance Plan for Corporate Officers also provides that the vesting of certain unvested equity awards may be accelerated under some termination scenarios.

The severance formulas we use for executive officers are each designed to provide the level of replacement income we feel is appropriate for that office, but the compensation our executive officers may receive after termination of employment or a change in control is not taken into account when current compensation levels are determined.

Accounting and Tax 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. Our goal is to make only 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.

We try to maximize the tax deductibility of compensation payments to executive officers. Our stockholders have approved our incentive plans that are designed and administered to provide performance-based compensation that is awarded to our 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 committee’s judgment, such pay would be in the best interests of the company and its stockholders.

Compensation Recovery

Our 2008 Omnibus Award Plan gives the compensation committee the flexibility to grant cash and equity awards that the company may recover if a recipient engages in certain types of misconduct. Beginning in February 2009, stock options and restricted stock awards under our 2008 Omnibus Award Plan allow the compensation committee to cause a recipient’s award to be forfeited, and to require the recipient to pay to us any option gain and/ or the value of vested restricted stock, as applicable, if the recipient engages in activity that is in conflict with or adverse to our interests, including but not limited to fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities, or if the recipient violates a restrictive covenant.

Share Ownership Guidelines

The compensation committee established share ownership guidelines to encourage equity ownership by our 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 officer’s pay grade, expressed as a multiple of the executive officer’s 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 members (spouses and/or dependent children), or shares owned through our Retirement and Savings Plan.

Under our share ownership guidelines, Messrs. Butler and Rodriguez are encouraged to own an amount of our stock equal in value to five times their respective base salaries and Messrs. Reidy and Anenen and Ms. Lee are encouraged to own an amount of our stock equal in value to three times their respective base salaries. Executive officers whose ownership levels are below the minimum required levels are asked to hold as shares of common stock at least 75% of post-tax net gains on stock option exercises and to hold 75% of net shares received upon vesting of restricted stock.

As of the end of fiscal year 2011, all named executive officers met the share ownership guidelines, with the exception of Mr. Rodriguez whose target ownership was recently increased in connection with his promotion to president and chief operating officer. Mr. Rodriguez had met his previous ownership requirement of three times his base salary.

(1)		Amounts set forth in the Stock Awards and Option Awards columns represent the aggregate grant date fair value of awards granted in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, 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, 2011 included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011. The amounts shown in the Stock Awards column reflect the grant date fair value of performance-based restricted stock based upon the probable outcome of the performance condition as of the grant date. The maximum value of the performance-based restricted stock awards granted in fiscal year 2011 assuming achievement of the highest level of performance are: Mr. Butler, $3,654,000; Mr. Reidy, $791,700; Mr. Rodriguez, $730,800; Ms. Lee, $730,800; and Mr. Anenen, $517,650.

(2)		Performance-based bonuses paid under the annual cash bonus program are shown in this column. A discussion of our annual cash bonus program may be found in our Compensation Discussion and Analysis under “Cash Compensation - Annual Cash Bonus”.

(3)		Amounts shown reflect the aggregate increase during the last fiscal year in the present value of the executive’s benefit under our tax-qualified cash balance pension plan, the Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Pension Retirement Plan, and our non-qualified supplemental retirement plan, the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan. There were no above-market or preferential earnings on nonqualified deferred compensation. The Pension Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan provide benefits in the form of a lump sum and/or an annuity. We calculated the present value as of June 30, 2008 using the RP-2000 white collar mortality rate (projected to 2008), a 4.50% interest crediting rate for the pension plan, and a 6.95% discount rate; the present value as of June 30, 2009 is based on the RP-2000 white collar mortality table (projected to 2009), a 4.25% interest crediting rate for the pension plan, and a 6.80% discount rate; the present value as of June 30, 2010 is based on the RP-2000 white collar mortality table (projected to 2017), a 3.75% interest crediting rate for the pension plan, and a 5.25% discount rate; the present value as of June 30, 2011 is based on the RP-2000 white collar mortality table (projected to 2018), a 3.90% interest crediting rate for the pension plan, and a 5.40% discount rate.

(2)	Gross-up for relocation expense (available to all participants in the relocation program).

(3)	Pursuant to the provisions of his employment agreement, Mr. Butler has an annual perquisite allowance of $125,000, which he used in fiscal year 2011 to fully reimburse the company for his personal use of aircraft chartered by the company and the incremental cost to the company of his personal use of aircraft owned by the company. Personal use of the aircraft benefit is valued at the actual incremental cost to the company of providing the benefit to the executive. With respect to the aircraft chartered by the company, the incremental cost is the contracted per-hour cost, including empty aircraft positioning costs, plus any fuel surcharges, additional catering or landing fees, taxes and segment fees. With respect to the aircraft owned by the company, the incremental cost is calculated by multiplying the personal flight time, including empty aircraft positioning time, by the aircraft’s hourly variable operating cost. Variable operating cost includes maintenance, fuel, cleaning, landing fees, flight fees, catering, and crew traveling expenses, including hotels, meals and transportation. Since the aircraft owned by the company is primarily used for business travel, we do not include the fixed costs that do not change based on usage, such as crew salaries as well as hangar, insurance and management fees.

(4)	Reflects matching charitable contributions made by the ADP Foundation in an amount not to exceed $20,000 in a calendar year in respect of any given named executive officer’s charitable contributions for that calendar year. Amounts may exceed $20,000 because, while matching charitable contributions are limited to $20,000 in a calendar year, this table reflects matching charitable contributions for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

In the foregoing Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table, PBRS refers to our one-year performance-based restricted stock program under our 2008 Omnibus Award Plan. Stock options were also granted under the company’s 2008 Omnibus Award Plan.

The grant dates shown in column (b) of the table were determined pursuant FASB ASC Topic 718. Column (bb) of the table shows the actual dates on which our compensation committee set target award amounts under the one-year performance-based restricted stock program and granted stock options.

In determining the foregoing awards and grants, we took into account the employment agreements with Messrs. Butler and Reidy, which are summarized below.

We computed the grant date fair value of each restricted stock award and option grant shown in column (l) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, 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, 2011 included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

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. Butler’s 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 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.

Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Butler received a one-time stock option grant of 150,000 shares of common stock on July 1, 2006. In addition, 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 company’s 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 person’s retirement from, or cessation of employment with, the company) that are generally available to other senior executives of the company.

Mr. Butler’s employment agreement also contains provisions related to 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. Reidy’s 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 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. 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. Reidy’s employment agreement also contains provisions related to his involuntary termination from the company, which are summarized below under “Potential Payments to Named Executive Officers Upon Termination or Change In Control.”

Restricted Stock

We currently grant restricted stock under our 2008 Omnibus Award Plan. Restricted stock awards granted in connection with our performance-based restricted stock program vest six months following issuance. Other restricted stock awards vest over periods determined by our compensation committee. Holders of shares of restricted stock are entitled to receive dividends paid on their restricted shares.

Beginning in February 2009, restricted stock awards under our 2008 Omnibus Award Plan allow the compensation committee to cause a recipient’s award to be forfeited, and to require the recipient to pay to us any gain realized on the award (the fair market value, on the applicable vesting date, of the shares delivered to the participant), if the recipient engages in an activity that is in conflict with or adverse to our interests, including but not limited to fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities, or if the recipient violates a restrictive covenant.

Stock Options

We currently grant stock options under our 2008 Omnibus Award Plan with an exercise price equal to our closing stock price on the date of grant, although options outstanding under our 2000 Stock Option Plan have an exercise price equal to the average of the high and the low sales prices of our stock on the day of grant. Stock options have a term of up to ten years from the date of grant. No option may be exercised after the expiration of its ten-year term.

Stock options granted in April 2008 and thereafter generally vest over four years. Options granted prior to April 2008 generally 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 other than Mr. Butler, whose options started vesting on the first anniversary of the grant date), or the first anniversary of the grant date (for all other optionholders).

Stock options granted under our 2008 Omnibus Award Plan become fully vested and exercisable upon the death or disability of an optionholder who (i) is an active employee, (ii) satisfied the company’s retirement criteria and retired on or after age 55 with ten years of service (Normal Retirement) or (iii) retired in the previous twelve months on or after age 55 with between five and ten years of service with the company and its subsidiaries. Stock options will continue to vest following a Normal Retirement that occurs after the first anniversary of an option’s grant date.

Vested options granted under our 2008 Omnibus Award Plan may generally be exercised for up to 60 days following an optionholder’s termination of employment with the company, provided that:

optionholders who retire on or after Normal Retirement will have up to 37 months following retirement to exercise their vested options (subject to extension in the case of subsequent death);
optionholders who retire on or after age 55 with between five and ten years of service will have up to twelve months following retirement to exercise their vested options (subject to extension in the case of subsequent death);
optionholders who die or become disabled on or after eligibility for Normal Retirement will have up to 36 months following their death or disability to exercise their vested options (subject to extension in the case of subsequent death following a disability); and
optionholders who were not eligible for Normal Retirement on the date of death or disability will have up to twelve months following their death or disability to exercise their vested options (subject to extension in the case of subsequent death following a disability).

Beginning in February 2009, stock option awards under our 2008 Omnibus Award Plan allow the compensation committee to cause a recipient’s award to be forfeited, and to require the recipient to pay to us any option gain, if the recipient engages in an activity that is in conflict with or adverse to our interests, including but not limited to fraud or conduct contributing to any financial restatements or irregularities, or if the recipient violates a restrictive covenant.

____________________

(1)		Consists of the number of years of service credited as of June 30, 2011 for the purpose of determining benefit service under the applicable pension plan. Credited service is defined in the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan as the number of months elapsed from the later of a participant’s entry into the plan and January 1, 1989 and subject, in the case of vesting, to a schedule set forth in the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan. Executives must be selected for participation in the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan. Credited service under the Pension Retirement Plan is defined as elapsed time of employment with the company starting on January 1 following the completion of six months of service.

(2)		The Pension Retirement Plan and Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan provide benefits in the form of a lump sum and/or an annuity. We calculated a present value of the executive’s benefit using an interest crediting rate, a discount rate and a mortality assumption. We calculated the actuarial present values of accumulated benefits as of June 30, 2011 under the Pension Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan using the RP-2000 white collar mortality table (projected to 2018) and a 5.40% discount rate. For the Pension Retirement Plan only, we also used a 3.90% interest crediting 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, 2011 are as follows: Mr. Butler, $398,816; Mr. Reidy, $31,995; Mr. Rodriguez, $107,161; Ms. Lee, $286,203; and Mr. Anenen, $345,799.

(4)		The present values of accumulated benefits for the Pension Retirement Plan and the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan were determined as of the normal retirement age, i.e., 65.

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 three years of service to receive any benefit.

Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan

The company sponsors a Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan, which is a non-qualified defined benefit plan that pays a lump sum and/or an annuity upon retirement. Eligible participants include the named executive officers and other officers of the company with titles of corporate vice president and above.

On August 14, 2008, our board approved amendments to the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan. These amendments included changes to the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan benefits formula and the early retirement factors, in each case, used for any active employee not already earning a benefit by January 1, 2008 or any participant who had not attained age 50 by January 1, 2009 (we refer to such participants as “non-grandfathered participants,” and to all other participants as “grandfathered participants”), as well as changes relating to the forms of benefit available for all current and future participants.

On November 10, 2009, our board approved additional amendments effective January 1, 2010 to (1) exclude performance-based restricted stock awards from the definition of final average compensation of grandfathered participants, (2) change the formulas used to compute benefits for grandfathered participants after 2009, (3) provide that for both benefit accrual and vesting credit, service will be determined based on the number of months elapsed from the later of a participant’s entry into the plan and January 1, 1989 and subject, in the case of vesting, to a schedule set forth in the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan and (4) provide that effective after December 31, 2009, our chief executive officer will no longer be able to grant service credit in his discretion to Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan participants who are involuntarily terminated or who receive severance from the company.

All participants must have at least five years of service to receive any benefit under the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan. After ten years of service, a participant will qualify for the full annual benefit. We refer to the percentage of the benefit that has been earned by a participant as the “vested percentage”. The vested percentage is determined using a schedule set forth in the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan.

Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan benefits begin on the earliest of (i) the later of attainment of age 60 and the first day of the seventh month following separation from service, (ii) disability or (iii) death. Participants can receive their benefits in the form of a single life annuity, a 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% joint and survivor annuity with a beneficiary, or a ten year certain and life annuity. Subject to rules required under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code, participants may generally also elect to have either 25% or 50% of their benefits paid in a single lump sum. A participant who terminates employment by reason of disability is eligible to receive an unreduced benefit payable as of the participant’s termination. Upon the death of a participant, the participant’s surviving spouse or other designated beneficiary is eligible to receive a 50% survivor benefit, payable as a life annuity, or if elected, a guaranteed payment for 120 months only. Under certain circumstances, annual benefits are subject to reduction for payments from social security, the Pension Retirement Plan and the Retirement and Savings Plan, and any retirement benefits from a former or subsequent employer of the participant.

For grandfathered participants, prior to January 1, 2010, 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 (we refer to such average annual compensation as “final average annual pay”), and then multiplying that amount by a factor of 1.5%, the number of years of service and his or her vested percentage. The maximum annual plan benefit which may be paid to grandfathered participants was limited to 25% of a participant’s final average annual pay (which we express as a maximum service period of 16.67 years).

Since January 1, 2010, the following formulas are used to determine the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan benefits of Messrs. Butler, Reidy and Anenen and Ms. Lee, who are grandfathered participants:

Mr. Butler – the product of (i) Mr. Butler’s final average annual pay, (ii) future service period up to 20 years, (iii) 1.95% and (iv) his vested percentage. Mr. Butler’s annual plan benefit cannot exceed 39% of his final average annual pay.
Messrs. Reidy and Anenen and Ms. Lee – the product of (i) the participant’s final average annual pay, (ii) future service period up to 18.75 years, (ii) 2.4% and (iv) the participant’s vested percentage. The annual plan benefit for each of Mr. Reidy and Ms. Lee cannot exceed 45% of the participant’s final average annual pay.

A grandfathered participant’s benefit under the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan will not be less than the participant’s benefit determined as of December 31, 2009, taking into account the participant’s actual vesting service through the date of his or her termination of employment.

Early retirement benefits for grandfathered participants will be calculated using the factors applicable to participants who are not grandfathered participants, except when determining the protected early retirement benefit accrued as of December 31, 2009.

For grandfathered participants, compensation covered under the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan includes base salary and bonus amounts (paid or deferred) and, for periods before January 1, 2010, compensation realized from restricted stock vesting during the fiscal year. A grandfathered participant whose benefit payments begin before the first day of the month on or after the participant’s 65th birthday will receive payments which are reduced at a rate of 5/12 of 1% per month for each full month by which the participant’s benefit commencement precedes the participant’s 65th birthday.

For non-grandfathered participants the amount of the annual benefit is determined by taking such participant’s final average annual pay, and then multiplying that amount by a factor of 2%, the number of years of service (up to 20 years), and his or her vested percentage. For non-grandfathered participants with more than 20 years of service only, added to that first amount will be an amount equal to such participant’s final average annual pay, multiplied by 1%, up to five additional years of service, and his or her vested percentage. Final average annual pay for non-grandfathered participants will be based on salary, bonuses, and incentive payment awards, excluding restricted stock and other stock-based awards. The maximum annual plan benefit which may be paid to non-grandfathered participants will be limited to 45% of a participant’s final average annual pay. A non-grandfathered participant whose benefit payments begin before the first day of the month on or after the participant’s 65th birthday will receive payments which are reduced at a rate of 4/12 of 1% per month for each month (up to 36 months) by which the participant’s benefit commencement precedes the participant’s 65th birthday, and, if applicable, further reduced at a rate of 5/12 of 1% for each month by which the benefit commencement precedes the participant’s 62nd birthday. Non-grandfathered participants cannot receive a benefit less than the benefit they had accrued on December 31, 2008 under the formula applicable to grandfathered participants.

If any participant within 24 months after his or her employment terminates violates the non-competition provisions of any agreement such participant has entered into with the company, such participant will forfeit all of his or her benefits under the Supplemental Officers Retirement Plan.

The amounts listed in column (b) reflect 100% and 50% of the annual bonuses for fiscal year 2010 that were payable in fiscal year 2011, but which were deferred by Messrs. Butler and Anenen, respectively; the amount for Mr. Butler was reported as compensation in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal year 2010. In

		addition, 100% and 50% of the annual bonuses earned for fiscal year 2011 by Messrs. Butler ($2,487,000) and Anenen ($226,650), respectively, that were paid in August 2011 were also deferred by Messrs. Butler and Anenen; these amounts were reported as compensation in the Summary Compensation Table for fiscal year 2011. As the amounts in respect of the fiscal year 2011 bonuses were not deferred until after we concluded fiscal year 2011, such amounts are not included in columns (b) and (f).

(2)		The earnings amounts are not reported as compensation in fiscal year 2011 in the Summary Compensation Table.

(3)		The following amount was previously reported as compensation in the Summary Compensation Table for previous years: Mr. Butler, $7,650,000.

Deferred Compensation Plan

Under the ADP Deferred Compensation Plan, all U.S. executives of the company (including the named executive officers) can defer up to 100% of their annual cash bonuses into a deferred compensation account. They can choose two investment options for their deferrals: a fixed income fund or a fund designed to track the performance of the Standard & Poor’s index of 500 leading U.S. companies. The fixed fund rate is adjusted each fiscal year. For fiscal year 2011, the fixed fund rate was 2.50%. The company does not match deferrals by its named executive officers or otherwise contribute any amounts to the named executive officers’ deferred compensation accounts.

The program does not allow changes to the investment fund choice once the annual deferral is made to the account. Each participant has the option of making a one-time election changing the timing and/or the form of distributions from his or her account. Any such change is required to comply with the “redeferral rules” in effect under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code and may only be used to delay the timing and/or change the number of payments to be received.

Participants may elect to receive payments of their deferred funds and matching contributions either in a lump sum payment or in installments. However, in the event of death, disability or termination of employment prior to age 65 or age 55 with 10 years of service, payments are made in a lump sum regardless of a participant’s election. Deferred funds and the earnings on such deferrals made for fiscal year 2005 and later may be distributed to a participant following separation from service 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.

We amended the ADP Deferred Compensation Plan to allow eligible participants the opportunity to defer receipt of their performance-based restricted stock awards beginning in fiscal year 2012.

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, 2011, there were 24 eligible 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 participant’s current total annual compensation;
- Full vesting of his or her options to purchase common stock;
- Full vesting of restricted shares issued under the time-based restricted stock program, to the extent such vesting restrictions would otherwise have lapsed within two years after the date of termination; and
- The number of restricted shares the participant would have been entitled to receive under the then ongoing performance-based restricted stock programs had the performance goals been achieved at 100% target rate.
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 lump sum payment equal to 100% of such participant’s current total annual compensation;
- Full vesting of his or her options to purchase common stock, to the extent that such options would have otherwise vested within one year after the date of termination; and
- Full vesting of restricted shares issued under the time-based restricted stock program, to the extent such vesting restrictions would otherwise have lapsed within one year after the date of termination.

A participant’s 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, Rodriguez, Anenen and Ms. Lee are payable solely pursuant to the terms of the change in control plan. However, Mr. Butler is 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 his employment agreement entered into on June 28, 2006.

A “change in control” will have occurred under the change in control plan 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 company’s 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 company’s 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 company’s 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 a 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. Butler’s 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 company’s 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 company’s 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 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.

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. Butler’s 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 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 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 company’s 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 company’s obligation to make any payment to Mr. Butler will cease on the date his employment ends.

If Mr. Butler’s employment is terminated other than for cause, or he resigns for good reason, within 24 months following a change in control of the company (unless more favorable conditions are provided under the change in control plan, as described above):

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); and
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 will be immediately and automatically issued to him and all restrictions thereon removed.

For purposes of the employment agreement, good reason means any action which results in a diminution in any respect in Mr. Butler’s current position, authority, duties or responsibilities as the company’s chief executive officer, or a reduction in the overall level of his compensation or benefits.

Mr. Butler’s 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 company’s 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, the restrictions on all of Mr. Butler’s restricted stock then owned by him will continue to lapse in the same manner as if he continued to be an employee of the company;
Mr. Butler will continue to participate in each of the then ongoing performance-based restricted stock programs in the same manner as if he continued to be an employee of the company, and he will receive the number of shares of restricted stock 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 if he continued to be an employee of the company; and
all of Mr. Butler’s 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. Butler elects to retire from the company for any reason, the company will provide Mr. Butler with appropriate office and secretarial support until his 72nd birthday, and will also allow him to keep his company car.

If Mr. Butler’s employment terminates other than for cause, then, for purposes of 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 company’s 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.

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 involuntarily 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, including named executive officers, 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.

Termination and Change in Control Tables

The following tables set forth the payments that each of our named executive officers would have received under various termination scenarios on June 30, 2011. With regard to the payments on a change in control, the amounts detailed below presume that each named executive officer’s employment was terminated by the company without cause or by the executive for good reason within two years following the change in control occurring on June 30, 2011.
