Board of Employee Leasing Meeting Report: September

The Board of Employee Leasing Companies (“Board”) recently held its September, 2008 meeting to consider employee leasing company applications, name changes, relinquishments, and receive reports.

The meeting was called to order by Chairwoman Kelly Lanza, with a quorum of Board members in attendance.

The following items were reviewed and approved unanimously:

• The Employee Leasing Company application for Payday, Inc.
• Controlling Person applications for:
  • Reid W. Rushing, Payday, Inc.
  • Burton M. Goldfield, TriNet HR Corporation
  • Norman LeClair, EvolveHR I, II, and III, Inc.

Additional actions taken by the Board included:

• Approval of a Controlling Person application by Robert W. Kimball, Payday, Inc. Board members inquired if Mr. Kimball’s license is currently valid. Mr. Kimball’s attorney stated that, since there was a dispute with the Board regarding whether he has been a Controlling Person within the last 90 days, in the eyes of the Board, his license is invalid. The Board ultimately approved Mr. Kimball’s application, with two members voting against.
• The Controlling Person application submitted by Patricia L. Dutschke, Employee Professionals-Northeast, LLC and HHG, III LLC was withdrawn at her request.
• Board members questioned Mark Matarazzo about a larceny charge he received in 1980 and did not disclose on the application during the review of his Controlling Person application for Smart Payroll Solutions I, II and III. Board members expressed concern that the non-disclosure equates to an incomplete application. The Board voted to table Mr. Matarazzo’s application until a complete version is submitted.

The following Change of Ownership applications were reviewed and approved unanimously:

• National HR Advantage, Inc.
• RealTime PEO, LLC

The following company name changes were reviewed and approved unanimously:

• Aerostaff Services of America, Inc. to Harbor America East, Inc.
• Trinet Acquisition Corporation to Trinet HR Corporation
• Southeastern Staffing, Inc. I, II, III, V and VI to Global Employment Solutions I, II, III, V and VI

The following Controlling Person relinquishments were reviewed and approved unanimously:

• Marc Fortune, Fortune Staffing, Inc.
• Jacob Harvey Hardin, Staffing Concepts National, Inc. and Venture Resources Group, LLC
• Donna C. Mickle, Payroll Management, Inc.
• Dylan R. Zsebe, Professional Payroll Solutions, Inc.

The Office of the Attorney General Report was given by the Board’s General Counsel.   Amendments to one of the Rules governing the Board were requested to make that Rule consistent with the applicable statute. The Board approved filing a notice in the Florida Administrative Weekly to start the rulemaking process.

The meeting was then adjourned.
