Item 5.02(e): Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On March 22, 2007, the Compensation Committee of CBIZ, Inc. authorized the execution of an amendment to the employment agreement between the Company and its principal executive officer Steven L. Gerard. The full terms and conditions of this agreement are set out in the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (the “Amendment”), dated March 22, 2007.
The agreement maintains most of the same employment terms as the original Employment Agreement, dated October 11, 2000. The Amendment changes the contract from an annually renewable term to an ongoing term; extends the period during which the executive can initiate a Good Reason termination following a Change in Control from 30 days to two years; establishes the amount payable to the executive in the event of a Without Cause or Good Reason termination related to a Change in Control as 2.99 times the sum of the executive’s then current Base Salary plus Average Bonus; broadens the definition of Change in Control to include the DeGroote Group ceasing to own fifteen percent (15%) or more of the total issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock; accelerates the vesting of all option and restricted stock equity grants in the event the executive is terminated by the Company Without Cause or by the executive for Good Reason; and defers any termination payments that would be in excess of annual deductibility limits imposed by IRS Section 162(m).
Item 9.01(d). Exhibits
     99.1 Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between Steven L. Gerard and CBIZ, Inc., dated March 22, 2007.
