Item 8.01. Other Events

On July 30, 2008, Gevity HR, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that, in response to inquiries from, and contact with, several third parties regarding possible strategic transactions, its Board of Directors has authorized management to initiate a formal process to engage in strategic discussions and to seek proposals from potentially interested parties.

The Company also announced that on July 30, 2008, it entered into confidentiality and standstill agreements with General Atlantic Service Company, LLC (“General Atlantic”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide General Atlantic with non-public information in order to evaluate a possible strategic transaction. The standstill agreement with General Atlantic prohibits, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, General Atlantic from, without the Company’s prior written consent, acquiring additional shares of the Company’s common stock and taking other specified actions that would cause a change of control of the Company through January 30, 2009.

The Company does not expect to disclose further information regarding the status of the formal process until the process has been completed. The Company emphasizes that there can be no assurance that the initiation of a formal process to explore possible strategic transactions, including a business combination, will result in any transaction.

A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
