PROXY STATEMENT
-------------
The accompanying proxy is solicited by the Board of Directors of
Administaff, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), for use at the 2000
Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 2, 2000, and at any reconvened
meeting after an adjournment thereof. The Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be
held at 10:00 a.m., Central Daylight Savings Time, at the Company's Corporate
Headquarters, Centre II in the University Rooms, located at 29801 Loop 494,
Kingwood, Texas 77339.
Stockholders of record may vote by attending the meeting or by signing,
dating and returning your proxy in the envelope provided. If you return your
signed proxy, 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 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, or (iii) voting in person
at the Annual Meeting.
The expense of preparing, printing and mailing proxy materials to the
Company's stockholders will be borne by the Company. The Company has engaged
Corporate Investor Communications, Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies
from stockholders at a fee of approximately $3,500 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. The Company will also reimburse brokerage
houses and other nominees for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy
materials to beneficial owners of Common Stock.
The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and the accompanying
proxy card will first be sent to stockholders is March 29, 2000.
At the close of business on March 3, 2000, the record date for the
determination of stockholders of the Company entitled to receive notice of, and
to vote at, the 2000 Annual Meeting of Stockholders or any reconvened meeting
after an adjournment thereof, 13,489,837 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
determined to exist at the meeting, 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.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The Compensation Committee is responsible for evaluating the performance
of and determining the compensation for executive officers including the Chief
Executive Officer. It is also responsible for overseeing the Company's 1997
Incentive Plan and Nonqualified Stock Option Plan. The Compensation Committee
has furnished the following report on executive compensation for 1999. Although
Mr. Sarvadi, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, was a member
of the Compensation Committee during 1999, he abstained from all discussions and
deliberations regarding his own compensation, and abstained from voting on all
matters. Mr. Sarvadi resigned from the Compensation Committee on January 19,
2000.
The Company's compensation programs are designed to attract and retain
key executives responsible for the success of the Company and motivate
management to enhance long-term stockholder value. The annual compensation
package for executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, generally
consists of three components: (i) a base salary payable in cash, (ii) variable
compensation, which is targeted as a percentage of base pay and may be payable
in cash awards, phantom shares, performance units, bonus stock or other
stock-based awards and (iii) long-term incentive compensation, which generally
consists of stock options.
In determining the overall level of compensation for each of the
Company's executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, the
Compensation Committee takes into account various qualitative and quantitative
indicators of corporate and individual performance. The Compensation Committee
annually reviews the overall compensation levels of executives of a peer group
of companies, and generally seeks to set base compensation at the median point
of the range of those compensation levels and total compensation (variable plus
base) at the third quartile of the range in comparison to such peer companies.
The Company's peers for executive compensation purposes include some, but not
all, of the companies included in the self-constructed peer index on the
performance graph. The Company compares itself for compensation purposes to
companies with which the Company believes it is more likely to compete for
executive talent, and thus excludes some larger companies that are included in
the peer index. The Company likewise includes as peers for compensation purposes
some companies in the service industry that have similar revenue as the Company,
but that are not PEOs. In setting base salary for executives other than the
Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee also considers the Chief
Executive Officer's subjective evaluation of the executive's performance.
Variable compensation is generally computed as a percentage of base
salary, which is determined by the Compensation Committee based on factors such
as the Company's revenue growth, increase in the number of worksite
11
<PAGE> 13
employees, achievement of the Company's expansion goals and profitability. More
specifically, 1999 variable compensation (which was paid in 2000) was based on a
gross profit improvement factor and operating expense savings from budget (which
constituted 16% of the total pay) and achievement of the following major
initiatives (which constituted 10% of the total pay): favorable resolution of
401(k) Plan non-discrimination testing issues; deployment of expanded
functionality within Administaff Assistant, including improved and expanded
reporting capabilities and the on-line submission and approval of payroll data;
opening of the Atlanta Service Center by the end of the third quarter; the
implementation by the end of the second quarter of a change in the method used
to calculate service fees for clients who experience employee turnover; and
completion of the sales expansion plan by the end of the second quarter. In
addition to the variable compensation calculated as a percentage of base salary,
pursuant to understandings of certain executive officers with the Company, such
executive officers receive an additional bonus amount equal to the interest paid
by such officers on loans from the Company plus any applicable taxes due on such
additional bonus amount. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions."
Long-term Incentive Compensation
Long-term incentive compensation is provided through the Company's
Incentive Plan, the objectives of which are 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 and to provide a means whereby
such persons may develop a sense of proprietorship and personal involvement in
the development and financial success of the Company, and to encourage them 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
under the Incentive Plan have generally been made in the form of stock options,
although in the future such awards may include phantom shares, performance
units, bonus stock or other stock-based awards. The Compensation Committee
believes that stock options align the interest of the Company's executives with
those of its stockholders by encouraging executives to enhance the value of the
Company, and hence, the price of the Common Stock and each stockholder's return.
The Company may periodically grant new options or other long-term equity-based
incentives to provide continuing incentive for future performance. In making the
decision to grant options, the Compensation Committee considers factors
including an executive's current ownership stake in the Company, the degree to
which increasing that ownership stake would provide the executive with
additional incentives for future performance, the likelihood that the grant of
those options would encourage the executive to remain with the Company and the
value of the executive's service to the Company.
In 1999, the Company granted options to purchase an aggregate of
130,000 shares of Common Stock to executive officers of the Company, including a
grant made to the Chief Executive Officer.
CEO Compensation
The compensation of the Chief Executive Officer is determined in the
same manner as the other executives of the Company, as set forth above. In 1999,
the Compensation Committee granted Mr. Sarvadi options to purchase 40,000 shares
of Common Stock. In making the grant, the Compensation Committee considered Mr.
Sarvadi's large ownership position in the Company. Although the Compensation
Committee believes that the grant of options to Mr. Sarvadi further aligns his
interests with those of stockholders, the Compensation Committee considered the
grant to Mr. Sarvadi to be more in the nature of variable compensation than a
long-term incentive.
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code
Because the Company has not yet granted any executive officer
compensation exceeding $1,000,000 in any year, the Compensation Committee has
not yet adopted a policy with respect to the limitation under Section 162(m) of
the Internal Revenue Code, which generally limits the Company's ability to
deduct compensation in excess of $1,000,000 to a particular executive officer in
any year. The Compensation Committee, in consultation with the Board of
Directors, will adopt such a policy if the compensation awarded to an executive
exceeds such amount.

FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31.
The above graph compares the cumulative total return of the Company's
Common Stock with the cumulative total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock
Index, the Russell 2000 Index and an industry peer group index for the period
from February 3, 1997 to December 31, 1999 (assuming reinvestment of any
dividends and an investment of $100 in each on February 3, 1997). This is the
first year that the Company has compared its stock performance to the Russell
2000 Index. The Company intends to use this index in future years because the
companies included in the Russell 2000 Index generally have market
capitalizations that are more similar to that of the Company than those included
in the S&P 500. Therefore, the Company believes that the Russell 2000 Index
provides a more accurate basis for comparison of the Company's relative
performance. In compliance with SEC rules, the Company is also comparing its
stock performance to the S&P 500 Index, which it has used in past years.
The peer group consists of Vincam, Inc. (through December 31, 1998),
Employee Solutions, Inc., Team America Corporation, TeamStaff, Inc. (formerly
known as Digital Solutions, Inc.), Staff Leasing, Inc. and NovaCare Employee
Services, Inc. (through December 31, 1998), each of which provides or provided
professional employer services. Vincam, Inc. and NovaCare Employee Services,
Inc. were dropped from the return calculation after December 31, 1998 as a
result of each of them being acquired in 1999, and the then market value
attributable to each was assumed to be reinvested in the other four companies in
the index.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
During 1999, the members of the Compensation Committee were Ms.
Levinson, Mr. Fields and Mr. Sarvadi, who is also the Company's President and
Chief Executive Officer. Other than Mr. Sarvadi, no member of the Compensation
13
<PAGE> 15
Committee (or board committee performing equivalent functions) (i) was an
officer or employee of the Company, (ii) was formerly an officer of the Company
or (iii) had any business relationship or conducted any transactions with the
Company. As discussed in the Report of the Compensation Committee above, Mr.
Sarvadi participated in deliberations regarding executive compensation, but
abstained from voting on all matters.
During 1999, no executive officer of the Company served as (i) a member
of the compensation committee (or other board committee performing equivalent
functions or, in the absence of any such committee, the entire board of
directors) of another entity, one of whose executive officers served on the
Board of Directors of the Company, or (ii) a director of another entity, one of
whose executive officers served on the Board of Directors of the Company or its
subsidiaries.
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 SEC
and the New York Stock Exchange. Officers, directors and greater than 10%
stockholders are required by SEC regulation 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, 1999 applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10%
beneficial owners, were timely filed.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
In June 1995, Richard G. Rawson, Executive Vice President of
Administration, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and a director of the
Company, exercised options to purchase 448,667 shares of Common Stock at a price
of $0.75 per share. The purchase price was paid in cash by Mr. Rawson. In
connection with the exercise of the options, the Company entered into a loan
agreement with Mr. Rawson in the amount of approximately $694,000, whereby the
Company paid certain federal income tax withholding requirements related to the
stock option exercise. The loan agreement called for an additional amount to be
advanced to Mr. Rawson in the event the ultimate tax liability resulting from
the exercise exceeded the statutory withholding requirements. In April 1996, an
additional $300,000 was loaned to Mr. Rawson pursuant to this provision of the
agreement. Mr. Rawson, his wife and a family limited partnership of which Mr.
Rawson is the general partner are obligors of such loans. The maturity date of
the June 1995 loan was extended in February 2000 to June 2002. The April 1996
loan matures in April 2001. Both loans are secured by 48,982 shares of Common
Stock owned by the obligors. The loans accrue interest at 6.93%; however,
pursuant to an understanding Mr. Rawson has with the Company, in each year that
the loans have been outstanding, Mr. Rawson has received a bonus amount equal to
the interest paid by Mr. Rawson on the loans, plus any applicable taxes due on
such component of his bonus. See "Report of the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors."
In September 1995, Jerald L. Broussard, the former Senior Vice
President of Business Development, exercised options to purchase 40,000 shares
of Common Stock at a price of $1.50 per share. The purchase price was paid in
cash by Mr. Broussard. In connection with the exercise of the options, the
Company entered into a loan agreement with Mr. Broussard whereby the Company
paid certain federal income tax withholding requirements related to the stock
option exercise on behalf of Mr. Broussard in the amount of $141,000. The loan
agreement called for an additional amount to be advanced to Mr. Broussard in the
event the ultimate tax liability resulting from the exercise exceeded the
statutory withholding requirements. In June 1997, the Company loaned Mr.
Broussard an additional $46,000 pursuant to this provision of the agreement. In
June 1999, both loans were renewed, extended and modified by a loan agreement in
the amount of $192,791, which is repayable in five years, accrues interest at
10%, and is secured by 15,061 shares of the Company's Common Stock. Mr.
Broussard resigned from the Company in May 1999.
Steven Alesio was elected to the Company's Board of Directors in July
1999 to replace Anne Busquet who resigned as a director in July 1999. Mr. Alesio
is President and General Manager - Small Business Services Group, a division of
American Express Company ("American Express"). In March 1998, the Company
completed a Securities Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with AETRS whereby
the Company sold units consisting of 693,126 shares of its Common Stock (293,126
shares from Treasury Stock) and warrants to purchase an additional 2,065,515
shares of Common Stock to AETRS for a total purchase price of $17.7 million. The
warrants have exercise prices ranging from $40 to $80 per share and terms
ranging from
14
<PAGE> 16
three to seven years. Mrs. Busquet was elected a director of the Company
pursuant to the terms of the Agreement. Upon Mrs. Busquet's resignation as a
director, Mr. Alesio was elected to replace her in keeping with the terms of the
Agreement.
In conjunction with the Securities Purchase Agreement with AETRS, the
Company entered into a Marketing Agreement with AETRS to jointly market the
Company's services to American Express' substantial small business customer base
across the country. Under the terms of the Marketing Agreement, AETRS is
utilizing its resources to generate appointments with prospects for the
Company's services. In addition, the Company and AETRS are working to jointly
develop product offerings that enhance the current PEO services offered by the
Company. The Marketing Agreement has a seven year term and provides that AETRS
will not enter into an alliance with another PEO for the first three years. The
Company pays a commission to AETRS based upon the number of worksite employees
paid after being referred to the Company pursuant to the Marketing Agreement.
In January 1997, the Company entered into an employment agreement with
John H. Spurgin, II, pursuant to which the Company agreed to employ Mr. Spurgin
on the terms set forth therein as the Company's Vice President of Legal, General
Counsel and Secretary. This agreement expired on December 31, 1999.
