HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 8, 2007--Administaff, Inc.
(NYSE:ASF), a leading provider of human resources services for small
and medium-sized businesses, today announced that its board of
directors has authorized an expansion of its share repurchase program
from 9.5 million to 10.5 million shares. Administaff has repurchased

shares repurchased since April 1, 2007. As a result of this expansion,
the company now has 1,273,316 shares available for repurchase.
Additionally, Administaff announced that in May 2007 the company

arrangement with AIG, a portion of Administaff's monthly premiums is
set aside to fund the payment of claims, and any excess premiums
funded into the program are returned to Administaff subsequent to the
end of the policy period.

organization (PEO), serving as a full-service human resources

The statements contained herein that are not historical facts are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal
securities laws (Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). You can identify such

Forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties. In the normal course of business, Administaff, Inc., in
an effort to help keep our stockholders and the public informed about
our operations, may from time to time issue such forward-looking
statements, either orally or in writing. Generally, these statements
relate to business plans or strategies, projected or anticipated
benefits or other consequences of such plans or strategies, or
projections involving anticipated revenues, earnings, unit growth,
profit per worksite employee, pricing, operating expenses or other
aspects of operating results. We base the forward-looking statements
on our current expectations, estimates and projections. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks
and uncertainties that we cannot predict. In addition, we have based
many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future
events that may prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, the actual results
of the future events described in such forward-looking statements
could differ materially from those stated in such forward-looking
statements. Among the factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially are: (i) changes in general economic conditions;
(ii) regulatory and tax developments and possible adverse application
of various federal, state and local regulations, including but not
limited to the California State Unemployment Tax matter; (iii) changes
in our direct costs and operating expenses including, but not limited
to, increases in health insurance costs and workers' compensation
rates and underlying claims trends, financial solvency of workers'
compensation carriers and other insurers, state unemployment tax
rates, liabilities for employee and client actions or payroll-related
claims, changes in the costs of expanding into new markets, and
failure to manage growth of our operations; (iv) the effectiveness of
our sales and marketing efforts; (v) changes in the competitive
environment in the PEO industry, including the entrance of new
competitors and our ability to renew or replace client companies; (vi)
our liability for worksite employee payroll and benefits costs; and
(vii) an adverse final judgment or settlement of claims against
Administaff. These factors are discussed in further detail in
Administaff's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission. Any of these factors, or a combination of such factors,
could materially affect the results of our operations and whether
forward-looking statements we make ultimately prove to be accurate.
