(Eastex Freeway), Kingwood, Texas 77339.
Voting Information
          Stockholders of record may vote in one of four ways:
    by attending the meeting and voting in person;
 
    by signing, dating and returning your proxy in the envelope provided;
 
    by submitting your proxy on the Internet at the address listed on your proxy card; or
 
    by submitting your proxy using the toll-free number listed on your proxy card.
          If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm or bank, you may submit your voting instructions by signing and timely returning the enclosed voting instruction form, by Internet at the address shown on your voting instruction form, by telephone using the toll-free number shown on that form, or by providing other proper voting instructions to the registered owner of your shares.
          If you either return your signed proxy or submit your proxy using the Internet or telephone procedures that may be available to you, your shares will be voted as you direct. If the accompanying proxy is properly executed and returned, but no voting directions are indicated thereon, the shares represented thereby will be voted FOR each of the proposals set forth in this proxy statement. In addition, the proxy confers discretionary authority to the persons named in the proxy authorizing those persons to vote, in their discretion, on any other matters properly presented at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Board of Directors is not currently aware of any such other matters. Any stockholder of record giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before it is voted by: (i) submitting written notice of revocation to the Secretary of the Company at the address listed above; (ii) submitting another proxy that is properly signed and later dated; (iii) submitting a proxy again on the Internet or by telephone; or (iv) voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Stockholders who hold their shares through a nominee or broker are invited to attend the meeting but must obtain a signed proxy from the broker in order to vote in person.
          The Company pays the expense of preparing, printing and mailing proxy materials to our stockholders. Our transfer agent, Mellon Investor Services, LLC, will assist in the solicitation of proxies from stockholders at a fee of approximately $500 plus reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, proxies may be solicited personally or by telephone by officers or employees of the Company, none of whom will receive additional compensation. We will also reimburse brokerage houses and other nominees for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of our Common Stock.
          The approximate date on which this proxy statement and the accompanying proxy card will first be sent to stockholders is March 28, 2007.

          At the close of business on March 5, 2007, the record date for the determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or any reconvened meeting after an adjournment thereof, 27,914,372 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), were outstanding. Each share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be voted on at the meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock is required for a quorum. If a quorum is present at the meeting, under the Company’s bylaws, action on a matter (other than the election of directors) shall be approved if the votes cast in favor of the matter exceed the votes cast opposing the matter. Directors of the Company shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast. In determining the number of votes cast, shares abstaining from voting or not voted on a matter will not be treated as votes cast. Accordingly, although proxies containing broker non-votes (which result when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner has not received timely voting instructions on certain matters from such beneficial owner) are considered “shares present” in determining whether there is a quorum present at the Annual Meeting, they are not treated as votes cast with respect to any matter, and thus will not affect the outcome of the voting on a particular proposal.
SECURITY OWNERSHIP
          The table below sets forth, as of March 5, 2007, certain information with respect to the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by: (i) each person known by the Company to beneficially own 5% or more of the Common Stock; (ii) each director and director nominee of the Company; (iii) each of the executive officers of the Company identified in the Summary Compensation Table on page 18 of this proxy statement; and (iv) all directors, director nominees and executive officers of the Company as a group.

The Certificate of Incorporation also provides that such classes shall be as nearly equal in number as possible. The terms of office of the Class I, Class II and Class III directors expire at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders in 2008, 2009 and 2007, respectively.
          The term of office of each of the current Class III directors expires at the time of the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, or as soon thereafter as their successors are elected and qualified.

          On an annual basis, each director and executive officer is obligated to complete a questionnaire that requires disclosure of any transactions with the Company in which the director or executive officer, or any member of his or her immediate family, have a direct or indirect material interest.
Determinations of Director Independence
          Under rules of the New York Stock Exchange, the Company must have a majority of independent directors. No board member qualifies as independent unless the Board of Directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with the Company). In evaluating each director’s independence, the Board of Directors considered all relevant facts and circumstances and relationships and transactions between each director, her or his family members or any business, charity or other entity in which the director has an interest on the one hand, and the Company, its affiliates, or the Company’s senior management on the other. As a result of this review, at its meeting held on January 30, 2007, the Board of Directors affirmatively determined that all of the Company’s directors are independent from the Company and its management, with the exception of Messrs. Sarvadi and Rawson, both of whom are members of the senior management of the Company.
          The Board of Directors has considered what types of disclosure should be made relating to the process of determining director independence. To assist the Board in making disclosures regarding its determinations of independence, the Board has adopted categorical standards as permitted under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. These categorical standards deal only with what types of relationships need to be disclosed and not whether a particular director is independent. The Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances in determining whether a director is independent. However, the relationships satisfying the categorical standards are not required to be disclosed or separately discussed in our proxy statement. A relationship satisfies the categorical standards adopted by the board if it:
    is not a relationship that would preclude a determination of independence under Section 303A.02(b) of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual;
 
    consists of charitable contributions by Administaff to an organization where a director is an executive officer and does not exceed the greater of $1 million or 2% of the organization’s gross revenue in any of the last three years; and
 
    is not required to be, and it is not otherwise, disclosed in Administaff’s annual proxy statement.
          In the course of the Board’s determination regarding the independence of directors other than Messrs. Sarvadi and Rawson, it considered all transactions, relationships and arrangements in which such directors and Administaff were participants. In particular, with respect to each of the most recent three fiscal years, the Board evaluated Administaff’s provision of PEO-related services to companies owned by Mr. Fields, and its employment of Dr. Jones’s daughter. The Board of Directors has determined that these relationships are not material. In making this determination with respect to Mr. Fields, the Board considered the facts that: (i) the company pays Administaff comprehensive service fees on the same basis as all other clients; and (ii) payments net of payroll costs made by the company were less than 0.1% of Administaff’s revenues in each of the last three fiscal years. In making this determination with respect to Dr. Jones, the Board considered the position and salary of Dr. Jones’s daughter within the Company.
Selection of Nominees for the Board of Directors
Identifying Candidates
          The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee solicits ideas for potential Board candidates from a number of sources including members of the Board of Directors, executive officers of the Company, individuals personally known to the members of the Board of Directors, and research. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee also has sole authority to select and compensate a third-party executive search firm to help identify candidates, if it deems advisable. In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider candidates for the Board submitted by stockholders. Any such submissions should include the candidate’s name and qualifications for Board membership and should be directed to the Corporate Secretary of Administaff at 19001 Crescent Springs Drive, Kingwood, Texas 77339. Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not require the stockholder to submit any particular information regarding the qualifications of the stockholder’s candidate, the level of consideration that the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will give to the stockholder’s candidate will be commensurate with the quality and quantity of

Table of Contents

information about the candidate that the nominating stockholder makes available to the Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider all candidates identified through the processes described above, and will evaluate each of them on the same basis.
          In addition, the Bylaws of the Company permit stockholders to nominate directors for election at an annual stockholders meeting whether or not such nominee is submitted to and evaluated by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. To nominate a director using this process, the stockholder must follow the procedures described under “Additional Information — Advance Notice Required for Stockholder Nominations and Proposals” below.
Evaluating Candidates
          Each candidate must meet certain minimum qualifications, including:
    the ability to represent the interests of all stockholders of the Company and not just one particular constituency;
 
    independence of thought and judgment;
 
    the ability to dedicate sufficient time, energy and attention to the performance of her or his duties, taking into consideration the prospective nominee’s service on other public company boards; and
 
    the skills and expertise of the prospective nominee are complementary to the existing Board members’ skills; in this regard, the Board of Directors will consider the Board’s need for operational, sales, management, financial, governmental or other relevant expertise.
          In addition, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers other qualities that it may deem to be desirable from time to time, such as the extent to which the prospective nominee contributes to the diversity of the Board of Directors—with diversity being construed broadly to include a variety of perspectives, opinions, experiences and backgrounds. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may also consider the ability of the prospective nominee to work with the then-existing interpersonal dynamics of the Board of Directors and her or his ability to contribute to the collaborative culture among Board members.
          Based on this initial evaluation, the Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will determine whether to interview the nominee, and if warranted, will recommend that one or more members of the Committee, other members of the Board and senior management, as appropriate, interview the nominee in person or by telephone. After completing this evaluation and interview process, the Committee makes a recommendation to the full Board of Directors as to the persons who should be nominated by the Board of Directors, and the Board of Directors determines the nominees after considering the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
          The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”), governing the conduct of the Company’s directors, officers and employees. The Code, which meets the requirements of Rule 303A.10 of the New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual and Item 406 of Regulation S-K, is intended to promote honest and ethical conduct, full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the Company’s public filings, compliance with laws and the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code. You can access the Code on the Company’s Web site at www.administaff.com under Corporate Governance in the Company Information section. Any stockholder who so requests may obtain a printed copy of the Code free of charge by contacting Ruth Holub, Investor Relations Specialist, Administaff, Inc., 19001 Crescent Springs Drive, Kingwood, Texas 77339. Changes in and waivers to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for the Company’s directors, executive officers and certain senior financial officers will be posted on the Company’s Internet Web site within five business days and maintained for at least 12 months. If you wish to raise a question or concern or report a violation to the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee, you should go to www.ethicspoint.com or call the Ethicspoint toll-free hotline at 1-866-384-4277.

Alternatively, you may mail your correspondence to the Board in care of the Corporate Secretary, 19001 Crescent Springs Drive, Kingwood, Texas 77339.
          Unless any director directs otherwise, communications received (via U.S. mail or email) will be reviewed by the Corporate Secretary who will exercise his discretion not to forward to the Board correspondence that is inappropriate such as business solicitations, frivolous communications and advertising, routine business matters (i.e., business inquiries, complaints, or suggestions), and personal grievances.
MEETINGS AND COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD
The Board
          Directors are expected to attend all or substantially all Board meetings and meetings of the Committees of the Board on which they serve. Directors are also expected to spend the necessary time to discharge their responsibilities appropriately (including advance review of meeting materials) and to ensure that other existing or future commitments do not materially interfere with their responsibilities as members of the Board. The Board met five times in 2006, which included four regularly scheduled meetings and one unscheduled meeting. All of the members of the Board participated in more than 75% of the meetings of the Board and Committees of which they were members during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Board expects its members to attend the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders. Last year seven of the Company’s eight directors attended the Annual Meeting of the Stockholders.
Executive Sessions of the Board of Directors and the Presiding Director
          The Company’s non-management directors hold executive sessions at which the Company’s management is not in attendance at each regularly scheduled Board meeting. The Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, currently Mr. Petsch, serves as presiding director at the executive sessions. In the absence of the Chairperson, a majority of the members present at the executive session will appoint a member to preside at the meeting.
Committees of the Board of Directors
          The Board of Directors has appointed three committees: the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee; the Compensation Committee; and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The charters for each of the three committees, which have been adopted by the Board of Directors, contain a detailed description of the respective committee’s duties and responsibilities and are available under Corporate Governance in the Company Information section on the Company’s Web site at www.administaff.com. Any stockholder who so requests may obtain a printed copy of the committee charters free of charge by contacting Ruth Holub, Investor Relations Specialist, Administaff, Inc., 19001 Crescent Springs Drive, Kingwood, Texas 77339.

All three members are “independent” under the standards of The New York Stock Exchange and Securities and Exchange Commission Regulations. In addition, the Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Young is an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the financial affairs, risk management, accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of financial statements of the Company by reviewing and monitoring: (i) the financial

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Compensation Program Objectives
          Administaff is committed to attracting, motivating, retaining and encouraging long-term employment of individuals with a demonstrated commitment to integrity and exemplary personal standards of performance. The Administaff culture is based upon the value of and respect for each individual, encouraging personal and professional growth, rewarding outstanding individual and corporate performance, and achieving excellence through a high-energy, fun work environment. We are convinced these elements contribute to the vision of Administaff to be an “employer of choice,” which increases the value and potential of the Company for clients, employees, stockholders, and the communities where we live and work.
          Our compensation policies for executives are based on the same principles that we employ in establishing all of our compensation programs. For executives, our compensation programs are designed to:
    attract and retain key executive officers responsible for the success of the Company, and
 
    motivate management to achieve both short-term business goals and to enhance long-term stockholder value through our “pay for performance” philosophy.
 
      To accomplish these goals, Administaff adheres to the compensation strategies discussed below.
Compensation Strategies
    We have established and strive to maintain a performance-driven culture that generates Company growth by recognizing and rewarding employees who believe in their own ability to reach and exceed their compensation objectives.

11


Table of Contents

    As part of our competitive compensation program, Administaff’s base salary system compensates employees based upon job responsibilities, level of experience, individual performance, comparisons to the market, and internal comparisons. As employees progress to higher levels in the Company, an increasing proportion of their compensation is linked to Company performance.
 
    We provide substantial incentive compensation to recognize and reward individual and corporate performance through a variable pay component that is affordable and equitable to both employees and stockholders, and that directly supports our business objectives. Our variable pay component utilizes business performance criteria that encourage the attainment of strategic objectives, with the goal of aligning the interests of the executive officers with those of the stockholders.
 
    We have also created a strong mutuality of interest between executive officers and stockholders through the use of long-term equity incentive compensation opportunities.
 
    We provide a competitive benefits package at the best possible value to the Company that recognizes and encourages work-life balance and fosters a career commitment to Administaff.
Elements of Compensation
          The annual compensation package for executive officers consists of: (i) an annual base salary payable in cash; (ii) variable cash compensation, which is targeted as a percentage of base pay; (iii) long-term equity incentive compensation; and (iv) special or supplemental benefits, including management perquisites.
Base Salary
          A competitive base annual salary is designed to secure and retain talented executive officers. Administaff conducts an annual executive compensation study to ensure executive compensation remains competitive. A more detailed discussion of this study is included below under “Determination of Compensation Amounts and Formulas.”
Variable Cash Compensation
          The Company believes that variable cash compensation is a key element of the total compensation of each executive officer. Such compensation embodies our pay-for-performance philosophy whereby a significant portion of executive compensation is at risk and tied to corporate, departmental, and individual performance.
Long-term Equity Incentive Compensation
          Long-term equity incentives align the interests of the executive officers with those of the stockholders. We believe that long-term incentives enhance retention while rewarding executive officers for their service. The objectives of Administaff’s long-term equity incentive compensation, which is awarded under the stockholder-approved Administaff, Inc. 2001 Incentive Plan (“Incentive Plan”), are detailed under “Determination of Compensation Amounts and Formulas” below.
Special or Supplemental Benefits, Including Management Perquisites
          Executive compensation also includes a limited number of perquisites and supplemental benefits that enhance the Company’s ability to attract and retain talented executive officers in today’s market. The Company also believes certain perquisites assist in the operation of business, allowing executive officers more time to focus on business objectives.
Retirement Benefits
          We do not provide pension arrangements, post-retirement health coverage, or nonqualified defined contribution or other deferred compensation plans for our directors, executive officers or employees. Our executive officers and employees are eligible to participate in our 401(k) defined contribution plan. We will contribute to each participant a matching contribution equal to 100% of the first 6% of the participant’s compensation that has been contributed to the plan, up to the maximum contribution amount allowed under the federal tax rules. All of our executive officers participated in our 401(k) plan during fiscal year 2006 and received matching contributions, which are included under the caption “All Other Compensation” in the Summary Compensation Table on page 18.

Determination of Compensation Amounts and Formulas
          The Company conducts an annual executive compensation study which compares each executive officer’s compensation to market data for similar positions as well as considering various internal factors of the Company. Each year, the Compensation Committee determines whether the study is to be performed internally by Administaff’s Manager of Compensation or by an outside consulting firm.
          Administaff’s Manager of Compensation conducted an executive compensation study (the “Compensation Study”) to determine competitive market pay for each executive officer of the Company. The Compensation Study was presented to the Compensation Committee in February 2006 for its review in considering salary adjustments for executive officers. The Compensation Study identified and analyzed a peer group of companies (the “Compensation Peer Group”) using the most recent public information regarding the total compensation package for each of the top five highest paid executive officers, including base salary, annual incentives, total cash compensation (base salary plus annual incentives), long-term incentives, total pay (total cash plus annualized value of long-term incentives) and perquisites. The Compensation Peer Group, which was selected in 2003 with the assistance of an outside consulting firm, Pearl Meyer & Partners, consisted of 13 publicly-traded companies that provide human resource services and whose median revenues equated to $1.1 billion. The Compensation Peer Group included 10 companies in addition to those included in the peer group for comparing total stockholder return (“TSR Peer Group”). The TSR Peer Group consists of companies that either provide PEO services or whose operations include PEO services. The additional companies included in the Compensation Peer Group are companies that compete with Administaff for executive talent. The Compensation Peer Group and TSR Peer Group are as follows:
                 
    Compensation    
Name of Company   Peer Group   TSR Peer Group
                 
Automatic Data Processing, Inc.
    X       X

    X          
Paychex, Inc.
    X       X  
Spherion Corporation
    X          
TeamStaff, Inc.
    X          
          In addition to the Compensation Study, the Compensation Committee also reviewed comparisons of perquisites and long-term incentives included in published survey data provided from the Watson Wyatt Survey Report on Nonqualified Benefits and Perquisites Practices and the Clark Consulting CHiPS Survey, respectively.
          Internal factors are also an important consideration when determining each executive officer’s compensation. These factors include: the executive officer’s performance review conducted by the Chief Executive Officer; the executive officer’s tenure with the Company; his or her industry experience; his or her ability to influence stockholder value; and the importance of the executive officer’s position to the Company in relation to the other executive officer positions within the Company.
Base Salary 1
          The base salary is intended to provide stable annual compensation to attract and retain talented executive officers. Changes in base salary for each executive officer are determined based upon the executive officer’s individual contribution to the success of the Company and external market comparisons. For example, in 2006, the Compensation Study indicated that the salary of our Chief Financial Officer was significantly below market considering his experience within his position. The Chief Financial Officer’s base salary, therefore, was increased to reflect the knowledge and expertise he currently contributes to his position. The average annual merit increase for executive officers in 2006 was 9.5%, which is competitive with the average merit increase for the Compensation Peer Group in the most recently ended fiscal year for which data was available.

Variable Compensation 1
          Variable compensation for all executive officers as well as most non-management employees is paid through the Administaff Annual Incentive Plan (“AAIP”), a non-equity incentive plan. The AAIP is intended to link each executive officer’s compensation to the Company’s performance as well as to his or her individual performance. For 2006, the Compensation Committee set a target for variable compensation that was computed as a percentage of each executive officer’s base salary. The AAIP provided a payout scale with significant opportunity for high performance and zero payout for low performance.
          The percentage of the target variable compensation paid could range from zero to 150% of target, depending on whether the executive officer met the threshold, target or maximum level of his or her performance goals established in early 2006. If the executive officer reached the threshold level for performance measurements, he or she was paid 50% of the targeted variable compensation. If the executive officer reached the targeted level for performance measurements, he or she was paid 100% of the targeted variable compensation. If the executive officer reached the maximum level for performance measurements, he or she was paid 150% of the targeted variable compensation. The targeted variable compensation as a percentage of base salary for 2006 was set at: 120% for the Chief Executive Officer; 100% for the President, the Chief Operating Officer, and the Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing; and 80% for the Chief Financial Officer.
          For 2006, the targeted variable compensation was based on three performance measurements: corporate, departmental and individual. The Company sets specific metric goals each year for the corporate performance measurement. In 2006, the corporate performance measurement was based on the Company’s operating income per worksite employee. For corporate performance, the threshold, target, and maximum would be met if we achieved operating income per worksite employee of $42, $46, and $50, respectively. The corporate performance measurement portion of variable compensation was the same for all employees of the Company. The departmental performance measurements were developed by each department based on various projects to be completed within each department that would have a major impact upon the Company’s operations as a whole. Each executive officer’s departmental goals are derived from the goals set for his or her department. The individual performance measurements were based on annual performance reviews of the achievement of pre-set, specific individual performance goals and competencies. During each year, the Compensation Committee periodically reviews the progress made towards meeting the corporate and departmental goals. Criteria considered in evaluation of individual performance of executive officers included generating revenue, mobilizing talent, personal and professional development, ability to run the business, servant leadership, and setting the course of the business. Administaff utilizes a talent management software system to track individual goals and rate each employee on predetermined competencies.
          The variable compensation for executive officers was weighted more heavily toward the corporate performance and differed among the executive officers depending upon their position. For 2006, the Chief Executive Officer’s compensation was weighted 80% on corporate performance and 20% on individual performance. The President, Chief Operating Officer, and Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing had measurement weightings of 60% corporate, 20% departmental, and 20% individual. The Chief Financial Officer had measurement ratings of 50% corporate, 30% departmental, and 20% individual.
          In 2006, the Company’s operating income per worksite employee was $51, which exceeded the maximum target level established by the AAIP. As a result, the Compensation Committee awarded the executive officers, along with substantially all other employees, an award amount in excess of the maximum amounts provided by the corporate performance component of the AAIP. The amounts awarded were determined using a pro-rata scale based on the actual operating income per worksite employee earned in 2006.
Long-term Incentive Compensation 2
          Long-term incentive compensation is provided through the Incentive Plan, the objectives of which are: (i) to provide incentives to attract and retain persons with training, experience and ability to serve as employees of the Company; (ii) to promote the interests of the Company by encouraging employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to acquire or increase their equity interest in the Company; (iii) to provide a means whereby employees and outside directors may develop a sense of proprietorship and personal involvement in the development and financial success of the Company; and (iv) to encourage employees and outside directors to remain with and devote their best efforts to the business of the Company, thereby advancing the interests of the Company and its stockholders. Awards granted under the Incentive Plan have historically been made in the form of stock options or restricted stock. Pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan, future awards may include phantom

Table of Contents

shares, performance units, bonus stock or other incentive awards. The Company may periodically grant new options, restricted stock, or other long-term incentives to provide continuing incentive for future performance. The award size and recipients of awards are determined by the degree to which a particular position in the Company has the ability to influence stockholder value. The Company anticipates continuing to utilize restricted stock with a three-year vesting schedule. The awards are valued using the closing price of the Company’s stock on the day the awards are approved by the Compensation Committee.
          In recent years, the Company has awarded restricted stock rather than options. The Company believes the current accounting treatment of restricted stock more closely reflects the economic value of the award to the employees as compared to that of stock options. The Company requested an increase in the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Incentive Plan, which was approved by the stockholders in May 2006. Thereafter, the Chief Executive Officer presented his recommendations for awards of restricted stock to the Compensation Committee. The Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations for the executive officers’ awards were based upon the performance of each executive officer and the importance of each executive officer’s role in the Company’s future business operations. In the past, executive officers who were not meeting expected performance received a reduced award or had the award eliminated entirely. The 2006 recommendations did not include any restricted stock grants to the Chief Executive Officer or the President in order to increase the number of shares awarded to other executive officers so that their incentives would be maximized. The Compensation Committee then determined and approved the awards after considering the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations and revising the amount of the awards as the Compensation Committee deemed necessary.
          Under the terms of the Incentive Plan, all conditions and/or restrictions that must be met with respect to vesting or exercisability of an award immediately lapse upon a “change in control” of the Company as defined under the Incentive Plan.
Special or Supplemental Benefits, Including Management Perquisites 1
          The Company provides a limited number of supplemental benefits and perquisites to assist executive officers in the operation of the Company, as well as to attract and retain key executive officers. These include the following:
          Automobile
          The Company provides automobiles to executive officers for both business and personal use. The executive officers are taxed for their personal use of the automobile.
          Supplemental Executive Disability Income Plan
          In 2006, the Company implemented a supplemental executive disability income plan for executive officers and a small group of upper management employees in order to more fairly provide disability benefits to that group. The supplemental executive disability income plan provides replacement of 75% of total cash compensation up to $20,000 per month. The plan recognizes the significant variable pay at the senior levels in the Company and the benefit limitations of the Company’s basic long term disability plan, which provides replacement of 60% of base salary only up to $10,000 per month.
          Executive Wellness Plan
          The Company offers an Executive Wellness Plan to the executive officers to assist them in maintaining their health. The plan pays up to $2,000 each year for wellness services which allow the executive officers an opportunity to have a clear understanding of their current physical condition, risk factors, and ways to improve their health.
          Chairman’s Trip
          An annual Chairman’s Trip is held for employees recognized during the year for their outstanding service and for sales representatives meeting a certain sales target. The Company believes executive officers should be part of the trip to recognize these outstanding employees of the Company. Therefore, the Company provides the opportunity for all executive officers and their spouses to attend the Chairman’s Trip. The Company also pays the associated income taxes related to the trip on behalf of the employees and the executive officers.

Table of Contents

          Club Membership
          The Company provides and pays for a country club membership for each executive officer. The Company believes club memberships provide an opportunity to build business and client relationships while also promoting a healthy lifestyle for each executive officer.
          Aircraft
          The Company provides access to the Company-owned aircraft to the Chief Executive Officer, the President, the Chief Operating Officer, and the Executive Vice President, Sales and Marketing for personal use. These individuals are required to reimburse the Company for the incremental cost associated with their personal use of the aircraft. The incremental cost is calculated by multiplying the number of hours of personal use by the average incremental cost per hour.
          Personal Life Insurance
          The Company provided personal term life insurance policies with a face amount of $500,000 each to the Chief Executive Officer and the President. These policies were issued in July 1990 prior to the Company’s initial public offering. They were both cancelled in January 2007.
          Post Employment Compensation
          Administaff’s executive officers are employed at will. Administaff does not have any severance agreements with its executive officers or a formal severance policy. In 2006, no executive officers departed from the Company.
          Other Personal Benefits
          Periodically, executive officers attend Company-related activities, such as professional sporting events or out-of-town business meetings, in which the Company incurs travel and other event-related expenses. Such events may include the spouses of the executives.
Deductibility of Compensation
          Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, imposes a $1 million limit on the amount that a public company may deduct for compensation paid to the company’s chief executive officer or any of the company’s four other most highly compensated executive officers employed as of the end of the year. This limitation does not apply to compensation that is paid only if the executive’s performance meets pre-established objective goals based on performance criteria approved by stockholders. We have taken action, where possible and considered appropriate, to preserve the deductibility of compensation paid to the Company’s executive officers. We have also awarded compensation that might not be fully tax deductible when such grants were nonetheless in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders. The Company generally will be entitled to take tax deductions relating to compensation that is performance-based, which may include cash incentives, stock options, restricted stock, and other performance-based awards.
Summary
          Administaff’s overall compensation objective is a pay-for-performance philosophy. A majority of each executive officer’s total compensation package consists of a long-term incentive component and a variable compensation component, with a goal of aligning the interests of the executive officers with that of the stockholders, as well as tying their compensation to the performance of the Company. A stable base salary is provided in order to remain competitive with the market, with a small percentage of an executive officer’s total compensation consisting of supplemental benefits and perquisites. We believe this combination of compensation elements supports our compensation objective of a pay-for-performance philosophy.

SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE
          The table below summarizes the total compensation paid or earned by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and each of the three other most highly compensated executive officers of the Company (collectively the “Named Executive Officers”) for services rendered in all capacities to the Company during 2006. The Company has not entered into any employment agreements with any of the Named Executive Officers. When setting total compensation for each of the Named Executive Officers, the Compensation Committee reviews tally sheets which show the executive’s current compensation, including equity and non-equity based compensation.
          The compensation plans under which the grants in the following tables were made are generally described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, beginning on page 11 of this proxy statement, and include the AAIP, a non-equity incentive plan, and the Incentive Plan, which provides for, among other things, restricted stock grants.

1   Bonus amounts represent additional variable compensation awarded by the Compensation Committee in excess of the amounts earned and awarded under the AAIP.
 
2   The amounts in this column represent the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes with respect to 2006 for the fair value of restricted stock granted in 2006 as well as prior years, in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. For restricted stock, fair value is calculated using the closing price of Administaff’s Common Stock on the date of grant. For additional information, refer to Note 9, “Employee Incentive Plans,” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Administaff’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC on February 12, 2007. See the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table on page 19 for information on awards made in 2006. These amounts do not correspond to the actual value that will be realized by the Named Executive Officer.
 
3   All other compensation includes the following: Company-provided automobiles; country club memberships; 401(k) matching contributions; dividends on restricted stock grants; life insurance (Mr. Sarvadi and Mr. Rawson); costs associated with an executive retreat (Messrs. Sarvadi, Rawson, Arizpe and Mincks) and the annual Chairman’s incentive trip and associated federal income taxes. The federal income taxes associated with the Chairman’s incentive trip paid by the Company on behalf of the executives were as follows: Mr. Sarvadi, Mr. Arizpe, Mr. Mincks, and Mr. Sharp — $3,958; Mr. Rawson — $2,481. The 401(k) matching contributions made by the Company during 2006 for the Named Executive Officers totaled $13,200 each. Dividends paid to Mr. Arizpe on restricted stock holdings totaled $10,716. The Company owns an aircraft that is used by its executives for business and, on occasion, personal travel. In the instances where the aircraft is used for personal travel, the executive is required to reimburse the Company for the associated incremental costs. The incremental cost for personal use of Company aircraft is calculated as an hourly rate that takes into account variable costs incurred as a result of the personal flight activity, including fuel, communications and travel expenses for the flight crew. It excludes non-variable costs, such as regularly scheduled inspections and maintenance that would have been incurred regardless of whether there was any personal use of the aircraft. During 2006, Mr. Sarvadi and Mr. Rawson reimbursed the Company $123,636 and $48,781, respectively, for personal travel costs.

2   The securities remaining available for issuance under the Incentive Plan may be issued in the form of stock options, performance awards, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, bonus stock and other stock-based awards.
 
3   The Administaff Nonqualified Stock Option Plan was not approved by stockholders. For a description of the material features of the Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, see Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Although there are approximately 637,000 unissued shares in the Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, pursuant to stockholder approval of an amendment to the 2001 Incentive Plan in 2006, no new shares will be issued under the Nonqualified Stock Option Plan.
 
4   Shares of Common Stock may be issued pursuant to the 1997 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which enables employees of the Company to purchase Administaff Common Stock through payroll deductions each calendar month. After the end of each calendar month, shares of Common Stock are purchased by the ESPP. Participants may enroll, change or discontinue payroll deductions at any time. The Company pays all expenses of the ESPP other than brokerage commissions for sales. The ESPP was not approved by stockholders, and does not include a limitation on the number of shares that may be issued thereunder.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE OF CONTROL
          We have no employment agreements with any of our executive officers or employees and no severance policy. Our incentive plans provide that upon termination due to disability or death, stock option holders, other than directors, have up to one year to exercise vested stock options, and upon termination due to any other reason, other than for cause, they have up to three months to exercise vested stock options, provided they have been in continuous employment since the Award Date. Directors have up to three years to exercise their options upon termination due to any reason other than for cause and up to three months upon termination for cause. In 2005, the Company accelerated the vesting of all stock options and none have been granted since that time; therefore, there are no unvested outstanding stock options. The incentive plans also provide that all restricted stock becomes immediately fully vested upon a change in control or upon termination due to disability or death, provided the holder has been in continuous employment since the Award Date. Unvested shares of restricted stock are forfeited upon termination for any reason other than disability or death. The number of shares and market value of the restricted stock that would automatically vest for each Named Executive Officer upon a change of control, based on the closing price of our Common Stock on December 31, 2006, is set forth in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table on page 20 of this proxy statement, under the captions “Number of Shares or Units of Stock That Have Not Vested” and “Market Value of Shares or Units of Stock That Have Not Vested.”
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
          Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Compensation Committee Charter, the Compensation Committee periodically reviews the compensation of the Board of Directors and, from time to time, recommends changes thereto to the full Board of Directors. The Company uses a combination of cash and stock-based compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board of Directors. Non-employee directors of the Company are compensated as shown in the table below. Directors who are employees of the Company receive no additional compensation for serving on the Board of Directors.

          Each outside director is also reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in serving as a director. All compensation, except for reimbursement of actual expenses, can be taken in cash or Common Stock, at the director’s option.
          Pursuant to the Company’s Incentive Plan, each person who is initially appointed or elected as a director of the Company receives a grant of shares of restricted Common Stock on the date of election or appointment with an aggregate fair market value, determined the date prior to the date of grant, of $75,000, rounded up to the next higher whole share amount in the case of a fractional share amount, and such restricted Common Stock vests as to one-third of the shares on each anniversary of its grant date. If a director terminates his or her service as a member of the Board, his or her unvested portion of such restricted stock award, if any, shall terminate immediately on such termination date, unless such termination of service is due to death or disability, in which event the unvested portion of such restricted stock award shall become immediately 100% vested on such termination date.
          In addition, each non-employee director receives on the date of each annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (unless first elected or appointed at such meeting), a grant of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate fair market value, determined the date prior to the date of grant, of $50,000, or each non-employee director may elect to receive an immediately vested and exercisable option to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock which has an aggregate value, determined the

REPORT OF THE FINANCE, RISK MANAGEMENT AND AUDIT COMMITTEE
          The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee (the “Committee”) has been appointed by the Board of Directors to assist the Board in fulfilling its responsibility to oversee the financial affairs, risk management, accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of the financial statements of the Company. The Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors and reviewed annually by the Committee. The Committee has furnished the following report for 2006.

Table of Contents

          The Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company’s consolidated audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2006, with management and the independent auditor. The Committee has discussed with the independent auditor the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, (Communication with Audit Committees), as currently in effect.
          The Committee has received from the independent auditor the written disclosures and letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, as currently in effect, and the Committee has discussed with the independent auditor that firm’s independence. The Committee has also considered the compatibility of the provision of non-audit services with the independent auditor’s independence.
          Based on the Committee’s reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended that the Board of Directors include the audited consolidated financial statements in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
          Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires the Company’s directors and officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the Common Stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership (Forms 3, 4, and 5) of Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission and the New York Stock Exchange. Officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all such forms that they file.
          Based solely on review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, the Company believes that all Section 16(a) reports with respect to the year ended December 31, 2006, applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners, were timely filed except for Mr. Rawson who had two late filings.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
          The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee has adopted a statement of policy and procedures with respect to related party transactions covering the review, approval or ratification of transactions involving the Company and “Related Parties” (generally, directors and executive officers and their immediate family members and 5% stockholders). The policy covers transactions in which the Company and any Related Party is a participant in which a Related Party has a material interest, other than transactions involving less than $50,000 when aggregated with all similar transactions. The policy generally requires that such transactions be approved by the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee in advance of the consummation or material amendment of the transaction. Under the policy, prior to entering into a related party transaction, full disclosure of all of the facts and circumstances relating to the transaction must be made to the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee, which will approve such transaction only if it is in, or is not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. In the event a transaction is not identified as a related party transaction in advance, it will be submitted promptly to the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee or the Chair thereof, and such committee or Chair, as the case may be will evaluate the transaction and evaluate all options, including but not limited to ratification, amendment or termination of the transaction.
          A significant component of our marketing strategy is the title sponsorship of the Administaff Small Business Classic (“Administaff Classic”), a Champions PGA tour event held annually in Houston, Texas. Consistent with other PGA golf tournaments, the Administaff Classic benefits and is managed by a non-profit organization. The Administaff Classic is managed by Augusta Pines, Inc. (“Augusta”), a non-profit organization. In connection with the Company’s sponsorship, Mr. Jay E. Mincks, Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, was elected Chairman of Augusta. During 2006, the Company paid Augusta $2.5 million in sponsorship and tournament related expenses, as well as an additional $255,000 in other event sponsorships and charitable contributions.

PROPOSAL NUMBER 2:
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF
INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
General
          The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee has appointed the firm of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2007, subject to ratification by the Company’s stockholders. Ernst & Young has served as the Company’s independent public accountants since 1991. Representatives of Ernst & Young are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and to respond to appropriate questions from those attending the meeting.
Fees of Ernst & Young LLP
          Ernst & Young’s fees for professional services totaled $1,052,322 for 2006 and $1,019,052 for 2005. During 2006 and 2005, Ernst & Young’s fees for professional services included the following:
    Audit Fees — fees for audit services, which relate to the consolidated audit, internal control audit in compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404, quarterly reviews, subsidiary audits and related matters were $838,963 in 2006 and $827,770 in 2005.
 
    Audit-Related Fees — fees for audit-related services, which consisted primarily of the SAS 70 report, the retirement plan audits, and quarterly agreed-upon procedures were $210,959 in 2006 and $188,882 in 2005.
 
    Tax Fees — there were no fees for tax services in 2006 or in 2005.
 
    All Other Fees — there were fees for other services of $2,400 in 2006 and in 2005.
          The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee reviewed the non-audit services provided to the Company and considered whether Ernst & Young’s provision of such services was compatible with maintaining its independence.
Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy for Audit and Non-Audit Services
          The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee has established a policy that requires pre-approval of the audit and non-audit services performed by the independent auditor. Unless a service proposed to be provided by the independent auditor has been pre-approved by the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee under its pre-approval policies and procedures, it will require specific pre-approval of the engagement terms by the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee. Under the policy, pre-approved service categories are generally provided for up to 12 months and must be detailed as to the particular services provided and sufficiently specific and objective so that no judgments by management are required to determine whether a specific service falls within the scope of what has been pre-approved. In connection with any pre-approval of services, the independent auditor is required to provide detailed back-up documentation concerning the specific services to be provided.
          The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members, including a subcommittee of the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee. The member or members to

25

whom such authority is delegated shall report any pre-approval actions taken by them to the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee does not delegate to management any of its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor.
          None of the services related to the Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees or Other Fees described above was approved by the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee pursuant to the waiver of pre-approval provisions set forth in applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Required Affirmative Vote
          If the votes cast in person or by proxy at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders in favor of this proposal exceed the votes cast opposing the proposal, the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent public accountants for the year ending December 31, 2007, will be ratified. If the appointment of Ernst & Young is not ratified, the Finance, Risk Management and Audit Committee will reconsider the appointment.

     THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND THE FINANCE, RISK MANAGEMENT AND AUDIT COMMITTEE RECOMMEND THAT STOCKHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT AUDITORS.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Delivery of Proxy Statement
          The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements with respect to two or more security holders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement addressed to those security holders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for securityholders and cost savings for companies. This year, a number of brokers with accountholders who are Administaff stockholders will be householding the Company’s proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholder. Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be householding communications to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in householding and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement, please notify your broker or direct your written request to Administaff, Inc., Attention: Ruth Holub, Investor Relations Specialist, 19001 Crescent Springs Drive, Kingwood, Texas 77339 or contact Ruth Holub at 800-237-3170. The Company will promptly deliver a separate copy to you upon request.
Stockholder Proposals for 2007 Meeting
          In order for director nominations and stockholder proposals to have been properly submitted for presentation at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, notice must have been received by the Company between the dates of October 28, 2006, and November 27, 2006. The Company received no such notice, and no stockholder director nominations or proposals will be presented at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Stockholder Proposals for 2008 Proxy Statement
          Any proposal of a stockholder intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders must be received at the Company’s principal executive offices no later than the close of business on November 29, 2007.
Advance Notice Required for Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
          The Bylaws of the Company require timely advance written notice of stockholder nominations of director candidates and of any other proposals to be presented at an annual meeting of stockholders. Notice will be considered timely for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2008 if it is received not later than the close of business on November 29, 2007, and not earlier than the close of business on October 30, 2007. In addition, the Bylaws require that such written notice set forth: (a) for each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election, all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors, or as otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, including, without limitation, such person’s written consent to be named in the proxy

          In the case of other proposals by stockholders at an annual meeting, the Bylaws require that such written notice set forth as to each matter such stockholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting: (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting; (b) the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting; (c) the name and address, as they appear on the Company’s books, of such stockholder; (d) the class and number of shares of the Company’s stock which are beneficially owned by such stockholder; and (e) any material interest of such stockholder in such business.
