Item 5.02(e): Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 30, 2017, CBIZ, Inc., upon authorization by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, executed an amendment to the employment agreement between the Company and its Chief Financial Officer, Ware H. Grove (“CFO”). The terms and conditions of this amendment are set out in the Amended and Restated Employment Agreement (“Amendment”).

The Amendment maintains most of the same employment terms as the original Employment Agreement, dated December 12, 2000, and as amended on November 22, 2010. The material change in the Amendment relates to the circumstances under which the CFO is entitled to receive severance payments in the event of a termination by the CFO for Good Reason within two years of a Change in Control. Under the Amendment, the CFO’s entitlement to such severance benefits is now subject to a double-trigger acceleration mechanism.

A copy of the Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Item 9.01(d). Exhibits

10.1 Amended and Restated Employment Agreement between Ware H. Grove and CBIZ, Inc., dated March 30, 2017.
