Note 13. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 23.6% and 23.2%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a benefit for adjustments to prior year tax liabilities in the three months ended December 31, 2023, partially offset by a higher excess tax benefit on stock-based compensation in the three months ended December 31, 2024.The effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 23.1% and 22.3%, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate is primarily due to a benefit for adjustments to prior year tax liabilities, lower reserves for uncertain tax positions and a valuation allowance release in the six months ended December 31, 2023.

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

In May 2020, a putative class action complaint was filed against ADP, TotalSource and related defendants in the U.S. District Court, District of New Jersey. The complaint asserts violations of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) in connection with the ADP TotalSource Retirement Savings Plan’s fiduciary administrative and investment decision-making. The complaint seeks statutory and other unspecified monetary damages, injunctive relief and attorney’s fees. The Company is unable to estimate any reasonably possible loss, or range of loss, with respect to this matter. The Company is vigorously defending against this lawsuit. The Company is subject to various claims, litigation, and regulatory compliance matters in the normal course of business. When a loss is considered probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records a liability in the amount of its best estimate for the ultimate loss. Management currently believes that the resolution of these claims, litigation and regulatory compliance matters against us, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. These matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future.  It is not the Company’s business practice to enter into off-balance sheet arrangements. In the normal course of business, the Company may enter into contracts in which it makes representations and warranties that relate to the performance of the Company’s services and products. The Company does not expect any material losses related to such representations and warranties.
