EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-146564) filed on October 9, 2007 is filed to deregister certain securities remaining available for issuance under such Registration Statement as described below.

On October 9, 2007, Automatic Data Processing, Inc. (the “Registrant”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-146564) to register an aggregate of 3,500,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Common Stock”), under the Amended and Restated Automatic Data Processing, Inc. Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Executive Compensation Plan”). On November 11, 2008, at the Registrant’s annual meeting of stockholders, the Registrant’s stockholders approved the adoption of the 2008 Omnibus Award Plan (the “2008 Plan”). In connection with the approval of the 2008 Plan no future awards will be made under the Executive Compensation Plan. Certain shares of Common Stock that remain available for issuance under the Executive Compensation Plan and that are not subject to outstanding awards under the Executive Compensation Plan are to be included in the shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2008 Plan (collectively, the “Carried Forward Shares”).

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed to deregister the Carried Forward Shares. The Registrant is filing a separate Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “2008 Plan Registration Statement”) to register the Carried Forward Shares for issuance under the 2008 Plan and to carry over the filing fees for the Carried Forward Shares.

In accordance with the principles set forth in Interpretation No. 89 under Section G of the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (July 1997) and Instruction E to the General Instructions to Form S-8, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (i) to reallocate the Carried Forward Shares from the Executive Compensation Plan to the 2008 Plan and (ii) to carry over the registration fees paid with respect to the Carried Forward Shares from the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-146564), filed for the Executive Compensation Plan, to the 2008 Plan Registration Statement.
