State of Delaware...,
page 46
2. You disclose here that your certificate of incorporation will provide
that the federal
district courts of the U.S. will be the exclusive forum for Securities
Act claims, and also
note potential enforceability concerns with this provision. Please
revise to further clarify
that these enforceability concerns arise from the fact that Section 22
of Securities
Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over
all suits brought to
enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the
rules and regulations
thereunder. Also revise to state that investors cannot waive
compliance with the federal
securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.

4. We note that you include GAAP Loss from Operations, Non-GAAP Adjusted
Operating
Income and Non-GAAP Operating Income Margin in the table on page 62.
Please expand
the disclosure to include the respective comparable ratio calculated
using GAAP amounts
most closely associated with the Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Income
Margin. Refer
to Items 10(e)1(i)(A) and (B) of Regulation S-K and footnote 27 of
non-GAAP adopting
Release No. 33-8176. Please expand the disclosure on pages 2, 16, 62,
70, 71 and 86,
accordingly.
Key Factors Affecting Our Performance, page 64
5. You disclose that your per-employee-per-month (PEPM) rate is
increasing as you expand
your HCM product bundle and as your customers expand their usage of
your platform.
Please revise to disclose your average PEPM for each period presented
in your financial
statements. See Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K and Section III.B.1 of
SEC Release No.
33-8350.
6. You also state that your total list PEPM for all of your offerings was
$35 in July 2020. It
appears that this is the rate that a customer would pay
per-employee-per-month if the
customer subscribed to your full suite of offerings. If true, please
revise to balance this
statement by also providing here your average PEPM for the same
period.

10. We note on page 70 in your definition of Adjusted Gross Profit, you
add to gross profit
amortization of capitalized contract acquisition costs. Please
clarify, as it appears from
the disclosure on page F-16 that amortization of the costs to obtain a
contract is recorded
in sales and marketing expense. If you are adjusting for the
amortization of costs to fulfill
a contract, please explain why it is appropriate to adjust a
performance measure such as
Adjusted Gross Profit for costs that appear to be necessary in order
to earn revenue under
a contract with a customer. Refer to Question 100.01 of our Compliance
and Disclosure
Interpretations on Non-GAAP Financial Measures.
11. Please expand the discussion of Corporate Adjustments on page 71 to

Adjustments are in accordance with the guidance in Item 10(e)(1)(ii)
of Regulation S-K in
that they are not reasonably likely to recur within two years, with
particular attention to
the closure of a standalone facility.
