Approval of Amendment Number One to the Gevity HR, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan

On May 21, 2008, the shareholders of the Company approved Amendment Number One to the Gevity HR, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amendment”). The Amendment was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on January 21, 2008 and by the Board of Directors on February 20, 2008, subject to shareholder approval.

The Amendment modified the separate 400,000 share limit in the Gevity HR, Inc. 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), to allow the full pool of shares available for issuance under the Plan to be issued in the form of options, stock awards, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, phantom shares and performance units (collectively, “Stock Incentives”). Generally, after the 400,000 share limit is exceeded, each Stock Incentive granted under the Plan other than as an option or stock appreciation right shall reduce the 2,000,000 plans of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan by three shares for every one share subject to such Stock Incentive.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

At its May 21, 2008 meeting of the Board of Directors, the Company declared a dividend of $0.05 per share on outstanding shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company, payable on July 31, 2008, to holders of the common stock of the Company of record on July 15, 2008.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the

liabilities of that section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
