ADMINISTAFF EXPANDS SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA OPERATIONS WITH OPENING OF SECOND OFFICE

  • New Office Strengthens Administaff’s West Coast Operations

HOUSTON, TX –January 14, 1999 – Administaff, Inc. (NYSE: ASF), a leading Professional Employer Organization (PEO), today announced the opening of its second sales office in the San Francisco Bay Area – its 23rd nationwide. The opening of this additional office continues Administaff’s planned expansion program to establish 90 offices in 40 markets across the nation.

"Opening a second office in the San Francisco Bay Area provides Administaff with more resources to service the more than 40,000 small and medium-sized companies in the region," said Paul J. Sarvadi, Administaff president and chief executive officer. "Since opening our first Bay Area office in September, we have found a strong compatibility between the entrepreneurial spirit in the Bay Area and the services Administaff offers its clients. Because business in the Bay Area is progressive and growth oriented, local entrepreneurs tend to recognize the value of outsourcing their human resources functions so they can focus on their own core competencies."

The office is scheduled to officially open Jan. 14, 1999, in conjunction with an event to promote Administaff’s marketing alliance with American Express. The company began its alliance with American Express Financial Advisors in March 1998. Since then, the two companies have worked together to provide small and mid-sized businesses with a wide range of complementary services.

Administaff operates sales offices in 14 major metropolitan markets, including Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, Orlando, Phoenix, San Antonio, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Washington, D.C. The company also recently announced its plans to begin operations in New York City in April 1999, its 15th market. Together, those 15 markets represent more than 500,000 businesses and approximately 7.5 million worksite employees that fit the company’s target profile.

Thomas Mangini has been appointed District Manager for the second Bay Area office. Like the company’s first Bay Area office, the new office will be centrally located in San Mateo, providing it with excellent geographic access to the entire Bay Area. Administaff’s new office will be at 1825 South Grant Street, Suite 600, San Mateo, Calif., 94402; and can be reached locally at (650) 357-9930. More information on the company is available at www.administaff.com, or by calling 1.888.245.2800.

Administaff is one of the nation's leading Professional Employer Organizations, providing small- to medium-sized businesses with a comprehensive Personnel Management System that includes benefits and payroll administration, medical and workers' compensation insurance programs, personnel records management, employer liability management, employee recruiting and selection, performance management, and training and development services. The company currently has 23 offices in 14 major markets and serves clients and worksite employees throughout the United States.
