costs and workers' compensation costs fluctuations. It appears that a significant portion of
these fluctuations are due to changes in estimates. However, in your prepared remarks of
your earnings call on February 12, 2018 you stated, ""Gross profit increased 17% on 10%
worksite employee growth as we effectively managed changes in client mix, pricing and
direct cost trends. In the payroll tax area, we benefited from the recently passed Small
Business Efficiency Act, effective management of our health plan resulted in an increase
in benefit cost for covered employee of only 1.2% over 2016 net of plan migration.
Workers’ compensation costs as a percentage of non-bonus payroll declined slightly from
2016 due to continued discipline around our clients’ election and safety and claims
management." Please explain to us why your results of operations analysis is inconsistent
with your earnings call discussion. Enhance your results of operation discussion to clearly
state what percentage of the fluctuation is related to changes in estimates versus changes
in business practice (i.e. management effectiveness). Describe the underlying reason for
management effectiveness.
We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of
action by the staff.
