The result was net income fell to $1.1 billion for the most recently ended period, down 21.3 percent from $1.38 billion a year ago. Revenue reached slight. More than $3 billion, down 8.5 percent from $3.227 billion.

However, that segment was not immune as the payroll business suffered after mid-March.
