Business Objectives
Kelly’s philosophy is rooted in our conviction that we can and do make a difference on a daily basis— for our customers, in the lives of our employees, in the local communities we serve and in our industry. Our vision is “To provide the world’s best workforce solutions.” We aspire to be a strategic business partner to our customers, and strive to assist them in running efficient, profitable organizations. Our consultative approach to customer relationships leverages a collective expertise spanning more than 60 years of thought leadership, while Kelly solutions are customizable to benefit them on any scope or scale required.
For most of our customers, navigating the human capital arena has never been more complex. As the use of contingent labor, consultants, and independent contractors becomes more prevalent and critical to the ongoing success of our customer base—our core competencies are refined to help them realize their respective business objectives. Kelly offers a comprehensive array of outsourcing and consulting services, as well as world-class staffing on a temporary, temp-to-hire and permanent placement basis. Kelly will continue to deliver the strategic expertise our customers need to transform their workforce management challenges into opportunity.opportunities.
Business Operations
Service Marks
We own numerous service marks that are registered with the United States Patent and Trademark
Office, the European Union Community Trademark Office and numerous individual country trademark
offices.
Seasonality
Our quarterly operating results are affected by the seasonality of our customers’ businesses. Demand for staffing services historically has been lower during the first and fourth quarters, in part as a result of holidays, and typically increases during the second and third quarters of the year.
Working Capital
Our working capital requirements are primarily generated from temporary employee payroll and customer accounts receivable. Since receipts from customers generally lag payroll to temporary employees, working capital requirements increase substantially in periods of growth.
Customers
We are not dependent on any single customer, or a limited segment of customers. Our largest single customer accounted for approximately fourthree percent of total revenue in 2009.2010.
Government Contracts
Although we conduct business under various federal, state, and local government contracts, they do not account for a significant portion of our business.
Competition
The worldwide temporary staffing industry is competitive and highly fragmented. In the United States, approximately 100 competitors operate nationally, and approximately 10,000 smaller companies compete in varying degrees at local levels. Additionally, several similar staffing companies compete globally. In 2009,2010, our largest competitors were Allegis Group, Adecco S.A, Manpower Inc., Randstad Holding N.V., Allegis Group, Robert Half International, Inc., Randstad Holding N.V. and Spherion Corporation.SFN Group, Inc.
Key factors that influence our success are geographic coverage, breadth of service, quality of service, and price.
Geographic presence is of utmost importance,important, as temporary employees are generally unwilling to travel great distances for assignment, and customers prefer working with companies in their local market. Breadth of service, or ability to manage staffing suppliers, has become more critical as customers seek “one-stop shopping” for all their staffing needs.
54
Quality of service is highly dependent on the availability of qualified, competent temporary employees, and our ability to recruit, screen, train, retain, and manage a pool of employees who match the skills required by particular customers. Conversely, duringDuring an economic downturn, we must balance competitive pricing pressures with the need to retain a qualified workforce. Price competition in the staffing industry is intense—particularly for office clerical and light industrial personnel—and pricing pressure from customers and competitors continues to be significant.
Environmental Concerns
Because we are involved in a service business, federal, state or local laws that regulate the discharge of materials into the environment do not materially impact us.
Employees
We employ approximately 1,100 people at our corporate headquarters in Troy, Michigan, and approximately 6,8006,900 staff members in our international network of branch offices. In 2009,2010, we assigned approximately 480,000530,000 temporary employees with a variety of customers around the globe.
While services may be provided inside the facilities of customers, we remain the employer of record for our temporary employees. We retain responsibility for employee assignments, the employer’s share of all applicable payroll taxes and the administration of the employee’s share of these taxes.
Foreign Operations
For information regarding sales, earnings from operations and long-lived assets by domestic and foreign operations, please refer to the information presented in the Segment Disclosures note to our consolidated financial statements, presented in Part II, Item 8 of this report.
Access to Company Information
We electronically file our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The public may read and copy any of the reports that are filed with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F. Street, NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC also maintains an Internet website at www.sec.gov that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically.
We make available, free of charge, through our Internet website, and by responding to requests addressed to our directorvice president of investor relations, our annual report on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and all amendments to those reports. These reports are available as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. Our website address is: www.kellyservices.com. The information contained on our website, or on other websites linked to our website, is not part of this report.
We operate in a highly competitive industry with low barriers to entry, and may be unable to compete successfully against existing or new competitors.
The worldwide staffing services market is highly competitive with limited barriers to entry. We compete in global, national, regional and local markets with full-service and specialized temporary staffing companies. While the majority of our competitors are significantly smaller than us, several competitors, including Allegis Group, Adecco S.A.S.A, Manpower Inc., ManpowerRobert Half International, Inc., Randstad Holding N.V., Allegis and SFN Group, Robert Half International, Inc. and Spherion Corporation,, have substantial marketing and financial resources. In particular, Adecco S.A.,S.A, Manpower Inc., and Randstad Holding N.V. are considerably larger than we are and, thus, have significantly more marketing and financial resources than we do. Price competition in the staffing industry is intense, particularly for the provision of office clerical and light industrial personnel. We expect that the level of competition will remain high, which could limit our ability to maintain or increase our market share or profitability.
65
There has been a significant increase in theThe number of customers consolidating their staffing services purchases with a single provider or small group of providers. The trendproviders continues to consolidate purchases hasincrease which, in some cases, mademay make it more difficult for us to obtain or retain customers. We also face the risk that our current or prospective customers may decide to provide similar services internally. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter increased competition in the future.
Our business is significantly affected by fluctuations in general economic conditions.
Demand for staffing services is significantly affected by the general level of economic activity and employment in the United States and the other countries in which we operate. When economic activity increases, temporary employees are often added before full-time employees are hired. As economic activity slows, however, many companies reduce their use of temporary employees before laying off full-time employees. We may also experience more competitive pricing pressure during periods of economic downturn. A substantial portion of our revenues and earnings are generated by our business operations in the United States. Any significant economic downturn in the United States or certain other countries in which we operate has a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In 2009, the already-weak economic conditions and employment trends present at the start of the year continued to worsenworsened as the year progressed. The weakened global economy significantly affected our earnings performance in 2009. WeWhile our earnings performance improved during 2010, we cannot predict whenbe certain that the global economy will begincontinue to recover or when and to what extentthat the conditions affecting the temporary staffing industry will continue to improve. We also cannot ensure that the actions we have taken or may take in the future in response to these challenges will continue to be successful or that our business, financial condition or results of operations will not continue to be adversely impacted by these conditions.
We may not achieve the intended effects of our business strategy.
Our business strategy focuses on improving profitability through scale and specialization, particularly with our professional and technical and OCG businesses. We have implemented steps to increase our presence in the commercial staffing markets, grow our higher margin specialty staffing and grow our outsourcing and consulting business. We plan to implement cost-efficient service delivery models to enable local teams to focus on profit-generating activities and relationships. If we are not successful in achieving these objectives, our revenues, costs and overall profitability could be negatively affected. If we are unable to execute our business strategy effectively, our productivity and cost competitiveness could be negatively affected.
Our loss of major customers or the deterioration of their financial condition or prospects could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Our business strategy is increasingly focused on serving large corporate customers through high volume global service agreements. While our strategy is intended to enable us to increase our revenues and earnings from our major corporate customers, the strategy also exposes us to increased risks arising from the possible loss of major customer accounts. In addition, some of our customers are in industries, such as the automotive and manufacturing industries, that have experienced adverse business and financial conditions in recent years. The deterioration of the financial condition or business prospects of these customers could reduce their need for temporary employment services, and result in a significant decrease in the revenues and earnings we derive from these customers.
Impairment charges relating to our goodwill and long-lived assets could adversely affect our results of operations.
We regularly monitor our goodwill and long-lived assets for impairment indicators. In conducting our goodwill impairment testing, we compare the fair value of each of our reporting units to the related net book value. In conducting our impairment analysis of long-lived assets, we compare the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the long-lived assets to the related net book values. Changes in economic or operating conditions impacting our estimates and assumptions could result in the impairment of our goodwill or long-lived assets. In the event that we determine that our goodwill or long-lived assets are impaired, we may be required to record a significant charge to earnings that could adversely affect our results of operations.
6
Our customer contracts contain termination provisions that could decrease our future revenues and earnings.
Most of our customer contracts can be terminated by the customer on short notice without penalty. Our customers are, therefore, not contractually obligated to continue to do business with us in the future. This creates uncertainty with respect to the revenues and earnings we may recognize with respect to our customer contracts.
We depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified temporary personnel (employed directly by us or through a third-party supplier).
We depend on our ability to attract qualified temporary personnel who possess the skills and experience necessary to meet the staffing requirements of our customers. We must continually evaluate our base of available qualified personnel to keep pace with changing customer needs. Competition for individuals with proven professional skills is intense, and demand for these individuals is expected to remain strong for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance that qualified personnel will continue to be available in sufficient numbers and on terms of employment acceptable to us. Our success is substantially dependent on our ability to recruit and retain qualified temporary personnel.
7
We may be exposed to employment-related claims and losses, including class action lawsuits, thatwhich could have a material adverse effect on our business.
Temporary staffing services providers employ and assign personnel in the workplaces of other businesses. The risks of these activities include possible claims relating to:
discrimination and harassment;
wrongful termination or denial of employment;
violations of employment rights related to employment screening or privacy issues;
classification of employees including independent contractors;
employment of illegal aliens;
violations of wage and hour requirements;
retroactive entitlement to employee benefits; and
errors and omissions by our temporary employees, particularly for the actions of professionals such as attorneys, accountants and scientists.
We are also subject to potential risks relating to misuse of customer proprietary information, misappropriation of funds, damage to customer facilities due to negligence of temporary employees, criminal activity and other similar claims. We may incur fines and other losses or negative publicity with respect to these problems. In addition, these claims may give rise to litigation, which could be time-consuming and expensive. In the U.S. and certain other countries in which we operate, new employment and labor laws and regulations have been proposed or adopted that may increase the potential exposure of employers to employment-related claims and litigation. There can be no assurance that the corporate policies we have in place to help reduce our exposure to these risks will be effective or that we will not experience losses as a result of these risks. There can also be no assurance that the insurance policies we have purchased to insure against certain risks will be adequate or that insurance coverage will remain available on reasonable terms or be sufficient in amount or scope of coverage.
Unexpected changes in claim trends on our workers’ compensation and benefit plans may negatively impact our financial condition.
We self-insure, or otherwise bear financial responsibility for, a significant portion of expected losses under our workers’ compensation program and medical benefits claims. Unexpected changes in claim trends, including the severity and frequency of claims, actuarial estimates and medical cost inflation could result in costs that are significantly different than initially reported. If future claims-related liabilities increase due to unforeseen circumstances, our costs could increase significantly. There can be no assurance that we will be able to increase the fees charged to our customers in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to cover increased costs as a result of any changes in claims-related liabilities.
7
Failure to maintain specified financial covenants in our bank credit facilities, or credit market events beyond our control, could adversely restrict our financial and operating flexibility and subject us to other risks, including inadequate access to capital markets.liquidity.
Our Bank Credit Facilities contain covenants that require us to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial conditions. In the past year,During 2010, we did not meet certainmet all of the covenant requirements, received temporary waivers of those requirements and subsequently renegotiated our Bank Credit Facilities.requirements. Our ability to continue to meet these financial covenants, particularly with respect to EBITDAinterest coverage (see Debt Note 8note in the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements), may not be assured. If we default under this or any other of these requirements, the lenders could declare all outstanding borrowings, accrued interest and fees to be due and payable or significantly increase the cost of the facility. In these circumstances, there can be no assurance that we would have sufficient liquidity to repay or refinance this indebtedness at favorable rates or at all. Events beyond our control could result in the failure of one or more of our banks, reducing our access to liquidity and potentially resulting in reduced financial and operating flexibility. If broader credit markets were to experience dislocation, our potential access to other funding sources would be limited.
8
Damage to our key data centers could affect our ability to sustain critical business applications.
Many business processes critical to the Company’sour continued operation are housed in the Company’sour data center situated within the corporate headquarters complex as well as regional data centers in Asia-Pacific and Europe. Those processes include, but are not limited to, payroll, customer reporting and order management. While we have taken steps to protect the Company’sthese operations, the loss of a data center would create a substantial risk of business interruption.
Our investment in theour PeopleSoft payroll, billing and accounts receivable project may not yield its intended results.
In the fourth quarter of 2004, we commenced theour PeopleSoft project to replace our payroll, billing and accounts receivable information systems in the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom and Ireland. To date we have several modules in production including accounts receivable andin all locations, payroll in Canada, and payroll and billing in the United Kingdom and Ireland. We are delaying implementation of the remaining components, including payrollIreland and billinggeneral ledger in the United StatesU.S., Puerto Rico and billingCanada. We anticipate spending approximately $25 to $30 million from 2011 through 2014 to complete the PeopleSoft project. Although the technology is intended to increase productivity and operating efficiencies, the PeopleSoft project may not yield its intended results. Any delays in Canada, until at least 2011completing, or an inability to successfully complete, this technology initiative or an inability to achieve the anticipated efficiencies could adversely affect our operations, liquidity and do not have an estimate of the cost for completion.financial condition. There is also a risk that if the remaining modules are not completed or the cost of completion is prohibitive, an impairment charge relating to all or a portion of the $6.2$5.5 million capitalized cost of the in-process modules as of January 2, 2011 could be required.
We are highly dependent on our senior management and the continued performance and productivity of our local management and field personnel.
We are highly dependent on the continued efforts of the members of our senior management. We are also highly dependent on the performance and productivity of our local management and field personnel. The loss of any of the members of our senior management may cause a significant disruption in our business. In addition, the loss of any of our local managers or field personnel may jeopardize existing customer relationships with businesses that use our services based on relationships with these individuals. The loss of the services of members of our senior management could have a material adverse effect on our business.
8
Our business is subject to extensive government regulation, which may restrict the types of employment services we are permitted to offer or result in additional or increased taxes, including payroll taxes, or other costs that reduce our revenues and earnings.
The temporary employment industry is heavily regulated in many of the countries in which we operate. Changes in laws or government regulations may result in prohibition or restriction of certain types of employment services we are permitted to offer or the imposition of new or additional benefit, licensing or tax requirements that could reduce our revenues and earnings. In particular, we are subject to state unemployment taxes in the U.S. which typically increase during periods of increased levels of unemployment. There can be no assurance that we will be able to increase the fees charged to our customers in a timely manner and in a sufficient amount to cover increased costs as a result of any changes in laws or government regulations. Any future changes in laws or government regulations, or interpretations thereof, may make it more difficult or expensive for us to provide staffing services and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
The net financial impact of recent U.S. healthcare legislation on our results of operations could be significant.
In March 2010, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (collectively, the “Acts”) were signed into U.S. law. The Acts represent comprehensive healthcare reform legislation that, in addition to other provisions, will require that we provide healthcare coverage to our temporary employees in the United States or incur penalties. Although we intend to bill these costs to our customers, there can be no assurance that we will be able to increase the fees charged to our customers in a sufficient amount to cover the increased costs. Additionally, since significant provisions of the Acts will not become effective until 2014, possible future changes to the Acts could significantly impact any estimates we develop during that period. While we are unable at this time to estimate the net impact of the Acts, we believe the net financial impact on our results of operations could be significant.
We conduct a significant portion of our operations outside of the United States and we are subject to risks relating to our international business activities, including fluctuations in currency exchange rates.
We conduct our business in all major staffing markets throughout the world. Our operations outside the United States are subject to risks inherent in international business activities, including:
fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
varying economic and political conditions;
differences in cultures and business practices;
differences in tax laws and regulations;
differences in accounting and reporting requirements;
changing and, in some cases, complex or ambiguous laws and regulations; and
9
Our operations outside the United States are reported in the applicable local currencies and then translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable currency exchange rates for inclusion in our consolidated financial statements. Exchange rates for currencies of these countries may fluctuate in relation to the U.S. dollar and these fluctuations may have an adverse or favorable effect on our operating results when translating foreign currencies into U.S. dollars.
Our controlling stockholder exercises voting control over our company and has the ability to elect or remove from office all of our directors.
Terence E. Adderley, the Chairman of our board of directors, and certain trusts with respect to which he acts as trustee or co-trustee, control approximately 92.9%93% of the outstanding shares of Kelly Class B common stock, which is the only class of our common stock entitled to voting rights. Mr. Adderley is therefore able to exercise voting control with respect to all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election or removal from office of all of our directors.
9
We are not subject to most of the listing standards that normally apply to companies whose shares are quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market.
Our Class A and Class B common stock are quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market. Under the listing standards of the NASDAQ Global Market, we are deemed to be a “controlled company” by virtue of the fact that Terence E. Adderley, the Chairman of our board of directors, and certain trusts of which he acts as trustee or co-trustee have voting power with respect to more than fifty percent of our outstanding voting stock. A controlled company is not required to have a majority of its board of directors comprised of independent directors. Director nominees are not required to be selected or recommended for the board’s selection by a majority of independent directors or a nominations committee comprised solely of independent directors, nor do the NASDAQ Global Market listing standards require a controlled company to certify the adoption of a formal written charter or board resolution, as applicable, addressing the nominations process. A controlled company is also exempt from NASDAQ Global Market’s requirements regarding the determination of officer compensation by a majority of independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors. A controlled company is required to have an audit committee composed of at least three directors, who are independent as defined under the rules of both the Securities and Exchange Commission and the NASDAQ Global Market. The NASDAQ Global Market further requires that all members of the audit committee have the ability to read and understand fundamental financial statements and that at least one member of the audit committee possess financial sophistication. The independent directors must also meet at least twice a year in meetings at which only they are present.
We currently comply with certain of the listing standards of the NASDAQ Global Market that do not apply to controlled companies. Our compliance is voluntary, however, and there can be no assurance that we will continue to comply with these standards in the future.
Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law may delay or prevent an acquisition of our company.
Our restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could make it harder for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. For example, if a potential acquirer were to make a hostile bid for us, the acquirer would not be able to call a special meeting of stockholders to remove our board of directors or act by written consent without a meeting. The acquirer would also be required to provide advance notice of its proposal to replace directors at any annual meeting, and would not be able to cumulate votes at a meeting, which would require the acquirer to hold more shares to gain representation on the board of directors than if cumulative voting were permitted.
Our board of directors also has the ability to issue additional shares of common stock that could significantly dilute the ownership of a hostile acquirer. In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law limits mergers and other business combination transactions involving 15 percent or greater stockholders of Delaware corporations unless certain board or stockholder approval requirements are satisfied. These provisions and other similar provisions make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without negotiation.
Our board of directors could choose not to negotiate with an acquirer that it did not believe was in our strategic interests. If an acquirer is discouraged from offering to acquire us or prevented from successfully completing a hostile acquisition by these or other measures, our shareholders could lose the opportunity to sell their shares at a favorable price.
10

Our stock price may be subject to significant volatility and could suffer a decline in value.
The market price of our common stock may be subject to significant volatility. We believe that many factors, including several which are beyond our control, have a significant effect on the market price of our common stock. These include:
actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results;
announcements of new services by us or our competitors;
announcements relating to strategic relationships or acquisitions;
changes in financial estimates by securities analysts;
changes in general economic conditions;
actual or anticipated changes in laws and government regulations;
changes in industry trends or conditions; and
sales of significant amounts of our common stock or other securities in the market.
In addition, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Global Market in particular, have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of listed companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our common stock, regardless of our operating performance. In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s securities. A securities class action suit against us could result in substantial costs, potential liabilities and the diversion of our management’s attention and resources. Further, our operating results may be below the expectations of securities analysts or investors. In such event, the price of our common stock may decline.

| ITEM 3. | | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.PROCEEDINGS. |
See Note 17, Contingencies,The Company is the subject of two pending class action lawsuits. The two lawsuits, Fuller v. Kelly Services, Inc. and Kelly Home Care Services, Inc., pending in the NotesSuperior Court of California, Los Angeles, and Sullivan v. Kelly Services, Inc., pending in the U.S. District Court Southern District of California, both involve claims for monetary damages by current and former temporary employees working in the State of California.
The Fuller matter involves claims relating to Consolidated Financial Statementsalleged misclassification of personal attendants as exempt and not entitled to overtime compensation under state law and to alleged technical violations of a state law governing the content of employee pay stubs. On April 30, 2007, the Court in the Fuller case certified both plaintiff classes involved in the suit. In the third quarter of 2008, Kelly was granted a hearing date for its motions related to summary judgment on both certified claims. On March 13, 2009, the Court granted Kelly’s motion for decertification of the classes. Plaintiffs filed a petition for review on April 3, 2009 requesting the decertification ruling be overturned. Plaintiffs’ request was granted on May 17, 2010 and the suit was recertified as a class action. The Sullivan matter relates to claims by temporary workers for compensation while interviewing for assignments. On April 27, 2010, the Court in the Sullivan matter certified the lawsuit as a class action. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses in both lawsuits and will continue to vigorously defend itself during the litigation process.
The Company is also involved in a number of other lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of its business, typically employment discrimination and wage and hour matters. While management does not expect any of these other matters to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and the Company is not at this Annual Reporttime able to predict the outcome of these matters. It is reasonably possible that some matters could be decided unfavorably to the Company and, if so, could have a material adverse impact on Form 10-K for a discussionour consolidated financial statements. During 2010 and 2009, the Company reassessed its potential exposure from pending litigation and established additional reserves of current legal proceedings.$3.5 million and $4.4 million, respectively.

On August 8, 2007, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $50 million of the Company’s outstanding Class A common shares. In connection with this program, which expired in August, 2009, the Company repurchased $42.7 million of shares in the open market. We may reacquire shares outside the program in connection with the surrender of shares to cover taxes due upon the vesting of restricted stock held by employees. Accordingly, 8,1837,237 shares were reacquired in transactions outside the repurchase program during the Company’s fourth quarter.

Performance Graph
The following graph compares the cumulative total return of our Class A common stock with that of the S&P MidCap 400 Index, the S&P 600 SmallCap Index and the S&P 1500 Human Resources and Employment Services Index for the five years ended December 31, 2009.2010. The graph assumes an investment of $100 on December 31, 20042005 and that all dividends were reinvested. Standard & Poor’s often makes S&P index changes for the S&P MidCap 400 and the S&P SmallCap 600 at the end of the year. As a result of these changes Kelly Services moved from the S&P MidCap 400 to the S&P SmallCap 600 Index. We have included both indices in the Total Return Performance Graph below.

| ITEM 7. | | MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.OPERATIONS. |
Executive Overview
Fiscal 2009The U.S. and global economies exhibited signs of slowly strengthening throughout 2010. Economic growth, coupled with the emergence of positive labor market trends, was one offavorable to the most challengingstaffing industry. In the U.S., the temporary employment penetration rate increased for the 15th consecutive month in Kelly’s 63-year history. Global economic conditions had a profound and unprecedented impact on our financial performance, and fundamental changesDecember to 1.7%, the highest level in over 21/2 years. More than 300,000 temporary jobs were added in the U.S. during 2010, a growth of nearly 30% since the low point in September, 2009. While still short of pre-recession levels, the current environment is encouraging for the staffing industry as employers seek more flexible labor models. However, it will likely take several years for the overall labor market emerged, as larger companies increased their focus on developing comprehensive solutions for managing their workforce going forward. to fully recover.
For Kelly, the strengthening economic trends are reflected in our 2010 fiscal year weresults. We reported a net lossearnings from continuing operations of $3.01$0.71 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.35$3.01 per diluted share in 2008. Our2009. Revenue, which declined significantly in 2009, increased by 15% during 2010, and our expense base continues to reflect the benefit from restructuring initiatives we undertook in 2009. However, our gross profit rate declined to 16.0% in 2010 from 16.3% in the prior year, reflecting changing business mix and related pressure on temporary margins.
While the continued pace of the global economic recovery is expected to remain slow, we believe that the strategic and restructuring actions we have taken will enable us to leverage our experience and expertise as we help our customers adapt to the changing marketplace. We remain focused on emphasizing higher-margin specialty-staffing, expanding fee-based business and delivering customer-focused workforce solutions, from traditional staffing to professional and technical offerings and outsourcing and consulting services.
Results of Operations
2010 versus 2009
Revenue from services for 2010 totaled $5.0 billion, an increase of 14.7% from 2009. This was the result of an increase in hours worked of 16.8%, partially offset by a decrease in average hourly bill rates of 2.7% on a constant currency basis. Fee-based income, which is included in revenue from services, totaled $99.0 million, or 2.0% of total revenue, for 2010, an increase of 15.0% (12.6% on a constant currency basis) as compared to $86.1 million for 2009. On a constant currency basis, revenue for 2010 increased in all seven business segments, with the exception of EMEA Commercial.
17
Compared to 2009, the U.S. dollar was weaker against many foreign currencies, including the Australian dollar and Canadian dollar, and stronger against the euro. As a result, on a net basis, our consolidated U.S. dollar translated revenue was higher than would have otherwise been reported. On a constant currency basis, revenue for 2010 increased 13.7% as compared with the prior year. When we use the term “constant currency,” it means that we have translated financial data for 2010 into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that we used to translate financial data for 2009. We believe that constant currency measurements are an important analytical tool to aid in understanding underlying operating trends without distortion due to currency fluctuations. The table below summarizes the impact of foreign exchange adjustments on revenue from services for 2010 on a 53-week reported basis for 2009:

The 2009 fiscal year included a 53rd week. This fiscal leap year occurs every five or six years and is necessary to align the fiscal and calendar periods. The 53rd week added approximately 1% to 2009 revenue.
Gross profit of $794.5 million was 13.2% higher than the gross profit of $701.7 million for the prior year. The gross profit rate for 2010 was 16.0%, versus 16.3% for 2009. Compared to the prior year, declinedthe gross profit rate decreased or remained flat in all business segments, with the exception of EMEA Commercial and APAC PT. The decrease in the gross profit rate was caused by a reduction in our temporary margins, primarily within the Americas and OCG businesses. Our average temporary margin continues to 16.3%be impacted by shifts to a higher proportion of light industrial business compared to clerical, to large corporate customers compared to retail and, within OCG, to a higher proportion of the lower-margin PPO business. In addition, our temporary margins were impacted by higher state unemployment taxes in the Americas to the extent not recovered through pricing. All of these items negatively impacting the gross profit rate were partially offset by the favorable impact from 17.7%the HIRE Act. The Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (“HIRE”) Act, which allows employers to receive tax incentives to hire and retain previously unemployed individuals, resulted in 2008, primarilya benefit of $21 million in 2010. The HIRE Act expired at the end of 2010.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses totaled $754.4 million and decreased year over year by $40.3 million, or 5.1% (5.9% on a constant currency basis), due to changing business mixthe impact of expense reduction initiatives implemented in 2009 and declining fee-based income.lower restructuring costs, partially offset by an increase in incentive compensation. Included in SG&A expenses are pretax charges for restructuring costs of $7.2 million in 2010 and $29.9 million in 2009.
During this period, we tookRestructuring costs in 2010 relate primarily to severance and lease termination costs for branches in the opportunityEMEA Commercial and APAC Commercial segments that were in the process of closure at the end of 2009, as well as severance costs related to reassess our operationsthe corporate headquarters. Restructuring costs in 2009 relate primarily to global severance, lease terminations, asset write-offs and adjust our strategy — reshaping Kellyother miscellaneous costs incurred in connection with the reduction in the number of permanent employees and the consolidation, sale or closure of branch locations.
We recorded asset impairment charges of $2.0 million in 2010 and $53.1 million in 2009.

We recorded income tax expense for 2010 at an effective rate of 20.2%, compared to an income tax benefit at an effective rate of 29.1% in 2009. The 2010 rate was positively impacted by nontaxable income from the cash surrender value of life insurance policies used to fund the Company’s deferred compensation plan, and by work opportunity tax credits. The 2009 rate was positively impacted by these items, but was also negatively impacted by non-deductible asset impairment charges and valuation allowances on operating losses and restructuring charges in certain foreign countries. See the Income Taxes footnote in the notes to consolidated financial statements.
Earnings from continuing operations were $26.1 million in 2010, compared to a loss of $105.1 million in 2009.

The change in Americas Commercial revenue from services reflected an increase in hours worked of 22%. Americas Commercial represented 49.1% of total Company revenue for 2010 and 45.9% for 2009.
The decrease in the gross profit rate was primarily due to an increase in the proportion of lower-margin light industrial business to higher-margin clerical business and higher state unemployment taxes to the extent not recovered through pricing, partially offset by the impact of HIRE Act benefits. The HIRE Act benefits impacted the gross profit rate by 60 basis points. SG&A expenses excluding restructuring were essentially flat as lower facilities costs, depreciation and corporate allocation offset higher performance-based compensation.

The change in revenue from services in EMEA Commercial resulted from a decrease in average hourly bill rates of 5.8% on a constant currency basis, partially offset by a 4.8% increase in hours worked. The decrease in the constant currency average hourly bill rates for EMEA Commercial was due to a change in the mix from countries with higher average bill rates to those with lower average bill rates, such as Russia and Portugal. During 2009, EMEA Commercial completed a significant restructuring within the United Kingdom and exited the staffing business in Spain, Turkey, Ukraine and Finland, and in 2010 exited the staffing business in the Czech Republic. Exiting these locations accounted for approximately 4 percentage points of the 2010 constant currency decline. EMEA Commercial revenue represented 17.6% of total Company revenue in 2010 and 20.7% in 2009.
20
The change in the gross profit rate is due to higher fee-based income, as well as higher temporary margins as a result of business and customer mix. Fee-based income has a significant impact on gross profit rates. There are very low direct costs of services associated with fee-based recruitment income. Therefore, increases or decreases can have a disproportionate impact on gross profit rates. The restructuring actions and other continuing cost-savings initiatives, partially offset by higher incentive-based compensation, resulted in the decrease in SG&A expenses.

Revenue from services in the OCG segment for 2010 increased in the Americas, EMEA and APAC regions, due primarily to growth in our PPO and RPO practices. OCG revenue represented 5.1% of total Company revenue in 2010 and 2009.
22
The OCG gross profit rate decreased primarily due to the growth in our lower-margin PPO practice and training costs associated with our BPO Kellyconnect unit. The decline was mitigated somewhat from increased revenues in our higher margin RPO, CWO and executive placement practice areas during 2010. SG&A expenses increased, due to increased investments in implementation and travel costs for new customer business, as well as higher technology costs in 2009, representing primarily severance, lease terminationsour CWO practice area.
During 2010, OCG had positive growth in our PPO, RPO and asset write-offs. The discretionaryCWO practice areas. However, earnings from operations were negatively impacted by decreased operating earnings in our outplacement business unit, as well as the aforementioned investments for new customer programs and structural cost-containment initiatives we implemented in late 2008 more than offset the effects of this additional spending. As a result, total expenses for 2009, including restructuringupfront Kellyconnect BPO training costs, were $173 million below 2008.
We intendwhere the revenue stream tends to remain vigilant in controlling costs and leveraginglag our lower expense base to focus on profitability in the year ahead. We have adjusted our strategy to meet the changes in the marketplace and remain committed to achieving profitability in each operation, accelerating growth of higher-margin services such as our professional and technical disciplines, increasing our focus on customer acquisition and partnering with our valued customers to effectively manage their workforce needs through our Outsourcing and Consulting Group.investment.
Results of Operations
2009 versus 2008
Revenue from services for 2009 totaled $4.31 billion, a decrease of 21.8% from 2008. This was the result of a decrease in hours worked of 18.7% combined with a decrease in average hourly bill rates of 5.0% (1.2% on a constant currency basis). Fee-based income, which is included in revenue from services, totaled $86.1 million, or 2.0% of total revenue, for 2009, a decrease of 43.1% as compared to $151.3 million for 2008. Revenue for 2009 decreased in all seven business segments, reflecting the global economic slowdown.
17
Compared to 2008, the U.S. dollar was stronger against many foreign currencies, including the euro, British pound, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar. As a result, our consolidated U.S. dollar translated revenue was lower than would have otherwise been reported. On a constant currency basis, revenue for 2009 decreased 19.2% as compared with the prior year. When we use the term “constant currency,” it means that we have translated financial data for 2009 into U.S. dollars using the same foreign currency exchange rates that we used to translate financial data for 2008. We believe that constant currency measurements are an important analytical tool to aid in understanding underlying operating trends without distortion due to currency fluctuations. The table below summarizes the impact of foreign exchange adjustments on revenue for 2009 on a 53-week reported basis:

In addition, the 2009 fiscal year included a 53rd week. This fiscal leap year occurs every five or six years and is necessary to align the fiscal and calendar periods. The 53rd week added approximately 1% to 2009 revenue.
Gross profit of $701.7 million for 2009 was 28.2% lower than the gross profit of $977.6 million for the prior year.2008. The gross profit rate for 2009 was 16.3%, versus 17.7% for 2008. Compared to the prior year,2008, the gross profit rate decreased in all business segments, with the exception of APAC PT. The decrease in the gross profit rate iswas primarily due to decreases in fee-based income, lower margins as a result of business and customer mix and a lower level of favorable workers’ compensation adjustments in the Americas. Our average mark-up has beenwas impacted by shifts to a higher proportion of light industrial business compared to clerical, and to large corporate customers compared to retail.
23
Fee-based income has a significant impact on gross profit rates. There are very low direct costs of services associated with fee-based recruitment income. Therefore, increases or decreases can have a disproportionate impact on gross profit rates.
As more fully described in Critical Accounting Estimates, we regularly update our estimates of the ultimate costs of open workers’ compensation claims. As a result, we reduced the estimated cost of prior year workers’ compensation claims by $2.8 million for 2009. This compares to an adjustment reducing prior year workers’ compensation claims by $12.7 million for 2008.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”)&A expenses totaled $794.7 million, a year-over-year decrease of $172.7 million, or 17.9% (14.8% on a constant currency basis). Included in SG&A expenses for 2009 are litigation costs of $5.3 million and restructuring charges of $29.9 million, of which $14.4 million related to severance, $7.9 million related to lease termination costs and $7.6 million related to asset write-offs and other costs. Included in SG&A expenses for 2008 are litigation costs of $22.5 million and restructuring costs of $6.5 million.

Starting in the third quarter of 2008, we began taking selected cost savings actions, including employee headcount reductions and branch closings. In January, 2009, we initiated a more significant restructuring plan for our U.K. operations, and completed it during the year.2009. Throughout 2009, we continued to expand our focus to achieve further cost savings and related efficiencies by assessing the scale of our global branch network, along with permanent employee headcount levels. By the 2009 year end, our restructuring actions encompassed a global reach beyond that originally anticipated. Accordingly, we included all related costs, including severance and lease terminations, in connection with these actions taken around the world, in our reported restructuring charges for 2009 and 2008. Refer to the segment discussions for more detail of the restructuring actions.
The largest components of the $172.7 million year-over-year decrease in SG&A expenses arewere approximately $110 million of structural changes, $55 million of compensation and other discretionary savings and the $17 million decrease in year-over-year litigation costs, partially offset by restructuring charges and incremental costs related to prior year’s acquisitions and investments.investments in 2008. Structural changes representrepresented the restructuring actions we have takentook around the world during the last 18 monthssince June 2008 to reduce expenses, including a reduction of approximately 1,900 full-time employees and the closing, sale or consolidation of approximately 240 branches, some of which arewere still in process.process at year-end 2009. Compensation and other discretionary savings representrepresented the impact of expense-reduction initiatives implemented during the first quarter of 2009, including suspension of headquarters and field-based incentive compensation and retirement matching contribution, along with a reduction in discretionary spending on travel and general expenses.
During 2009, asset impairment charges of $53.1 million were also recorded. Due to significantly worse than anticipated economic conditions and the impacts to our business in the second quarter of 2009, we revised our internal forecasts for all of our segments, which we deemed to be a triggering event for purposes of assessing goodwill for impairment. Accordingly, goodwill at all of our reporting units was tested for impairment in the second quarter of 2009. This resulted in the recognition of a goodwill impairment loss of $50.5 million in total, of which $16.4 million related to the Americas Commercial segment, $22.0 million related to the EMEA PT segment and $12.1 million related to the APAC Commercial segment and $22.0 million related to the EMEA PT segment.
Additionally, we evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. When estimated undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value, determined by estimated future discounted cash flows. The Company’s estimates as of June 28, 2009 resulted in a $2.1 million reduction in the carrying value of long-lived assets and intangible assets in Japan. The Company’s estimates as of September 27, 2009 resulted in a $0.5 million reduction in the carrying value of long-lived assets and intangible assets in Europe.
During 2008, we recorded goodwill impairment charges of $50.4 million related to the EMEA Commercial segment, long-lived asset impairment charges of $11.4 million related to U.K. and an other-than-temporary impairment of $18.7 million related to our investment in Temp Holdings.Holdings Co., Ltd. (“Temp Holdings”), a leading integrated human resources services company in Japan.
As a result of the above, we reported a loss from operations for 2009 totaling $146.1 million, compared to $70.3 million reported for 2008.
Income tax benefit on continuing operations for 2009 was $43.2 million, compared to expense of $8.0 million for 2008. Income taxes were negatively impacted in 2009 and 2008 by non-deductible impairment charges and valuation allowances on operating losses and restructuring charges in certain foreign countries, offset by work opportunity tax credits in the U.S. 2009 income taxes also benefited from investments in life insurance policies used to fund the Company’s deferred compensation plan, which generated non-taxable income in 2009, and non-deductible losses in 2008. The Company incurred tax losses in 2009 in the United States and a number of foreign countries. Continued tax losses in these jurisdictions could result in recording an additional valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets. See Note 14, Income Taxes, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
24
Loss from continuing operations was $105.1 million in 2009, compared to $81.7 million in 2008. Included in loss from continuing operations in 2009 were $50.0 million, net of tax, of asset impairment charges, $24.0 million, net of tax, of restructuring charges and $3.3 million, net of tax, related to litigation expenses. Included in loss from continuing operations in 2008 were $77.2 million, net of tax, of impairment charges, $13.9 million, net of tax, of litigation expenses and $5.3 million, net of tax, of restructuring charges.
19
Discontinued operations include the operating results of Kelly Home Care, (“KHC”), which was sold in 2007 and Kelly Staff Leasing, (“KSL”), which was sold in 2006. Earnings from discontinued operations totaled $0.6 million for 2009, compared to a loss of $0.5 million for 2008. These amounts represent adjustments to assets and liabilities retained as part of the sale agreements.
Net loss for 2009 totaled $104.5 million, compared to $82.2 million in 2008. Diluted loss from continuing operations per share for 2009 was $3.01, as compared to diluted loss from continuing operations per share of $2.35 for 2008.
Effective with the first quarter of 2009, we adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board guidance which clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends before vesting should be considered participating securities and, therefore, included in the calculation of earnings per share using the two-class method in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, all prior period earnings per share data presented waswere adjusted retrospectively to conform withto the provisions of this guidance. Adopting these provisions had no effect on previously reported basic or diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 28, 2008.

The change in translated U.S. dollar revenue from services in APAC PT resulted from a decrease in the translated U.S. dollar average hourly bill rates of 13.4% (11.8% on a constant currency basis), combined with a decrease in hours worked of 14.8% and the decrease in fee-based income. The decrease in the average hourly bill rates for APAC PT was due to a change in mix from countries with higher average bill rates to those with lower average bill rates, such as India. APAC PT revenue represented 0.6% of total Company revenue for 2009 and 2008.
SG&A expenses declined, due to reductions in personnel and incentive compensation.

Revenue from services in the OCG segment for 2009 decreased in all three regions — Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. OCG revenue represented 5.1% of total Company revenue for 2009 and 4.2% for 2008.
The OCG gross profit rate decreased primarily due to a shift in revenue mix among the OCG business units. Revenue in the higher-margin recruitment process outsourcing (“RPO”)RPO and contingent workforce outsourcing (“CWO”)CWO units declined, while revenue in our lower-margin business process outsourcing (“BPO”)BPO unit grew modestly during 2009. This change in business mix, coupled with a decrease in the gross profit rates in our RPO practice as compared to 2008, resulted in the overall gross profit decline.
Total SG&A expenses were relatively unchanged from the prior year. Continuing costs related to investments to build out implementation and operations infrastructure from the second and third quarters of 2008, and continued investment in new initiatives, were partially offset by a reduction in salary costs in our RPO and executive placement business units, as well as an overall decrease in discretionary spending on business travel and general staffing expenses.
Results of Operations
2008 versus 2007
Revenue from services for 2008 totaled $5.5 billion, a decrease of 2.7% from 2007. This was the result of a decrease in hours worked of 8.3%, partially offset by an increase in average hourly bill rates of 4.1% (3.0% on a constant currency basis). Fee-based income, which is included in revenue from services, totaled $151.3 million, or 2.7% of total revenue for 2008, an increase of 11.1% as compared to $136.3 million in 2007. Revenue decreased in the Americas Commercial and Americas PT business segments and increased in each of the five other business segments. Reflecting the accelerating slowdown in the global economy, the trend in revenue growth during 2008 was negative in all business units, with the largest decline occurring in the fourth quarter.
24
Compared to 2007, the U.S. dollar was weaker against certain foreign currencies, including the euro and the Swiss franc. As a result, our consolidated U.S. dollar translated revenue was higher than would have otherwise been reported. On a constant currency basis, 2008 revenue from services decreased 3.7% as compared with 2007. The table below summarizes the impact of foreign exchange adjustments on revenue from services for 2008:

Gross profit of $977.6 million was 1.2% lower than in 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 17.7% in 2008 and increased 0.2 percentage points compared to the 17.5% rate in 2007. Compared to 2007, the gross profit rate increased in the EMEA PT and OCG segments, and was relatively flat in the Americas Commercial business segment. The gross profit rate decreased in all other business segments. The improvement in the gross profit rate was primarily due to growth in fee-based income.
The gross profit rate for 2008 and 2007 also included the effect of French payroll tax credits. During 2007, the French government changed the method of calculating payroll tax credits, retroactive to the beginning of 2006 and on a go-forward basis until October 1, 2007. During 2008, the French government extended eligibility to claim payroll tax credits to 2005. In connection with these changes, $2.4 million of French payroll tax credits were recognized in 2008 and $4.8 million were recognized in 2007.
As a result of regularly updating our estimates of the ultimate cost of open workers’ compensation claims, we reduced the estimated cost of 2008 workers’ compensation claims by $12.7 million. This compares to an adjustment reducing prior year workers’ compensation claims by $11.6 million in 2007.
SG&A expenses totaled $967.4 million, an increase of 6.4% (5.2% on a constant currency basis) from 2007. SG&A expenses expressed as a percentage of gross profit were 99.0% in 2008, a 7.1 percentage point increase compared to the 91.9% rate in 2007. Included in SG&A expenses for 2008 are $22.5 million of litigation costs for several pending lawsuits. (See Note 17, Contingencies, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.) Also included in SG&A expenses for 2008 was $6.5 million of costs related to global restructuring charges. Included in SG&A expenses for 2007 were $8.9 million of expenses related to 2007 Americas and U.K. restructuring actions.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, impairment charges of $80.5 million were also recorded. We completed our goodwill impairment test during the fourth quarter of 2008 and, due to worsening economic conditions, the Company’s discounted cash flow forecast for future years was revised. This resulted in the recognition of a goodwill impairment loss of $50.4 million in the EMEA Commercial segment in 2008. At December 28, 2008, the Company also determined that its available-for-sale investment in Temp Holdings Co. Ltd. (“Temp Holdings,” formerly Tempstaff), a Japanese staffing company, was impaired and an other-than-temporary impairment of $18.7 million was recorded. While Temp Holdings’ performance was strong, its value was affected by global market movements. The Company’s determination that the impairment was other-than-temporary was based on the length of time (approximately nine months as of December 28, 2008) and extent to which the market value of the investment had been less than cost.
25
Additionally, the Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When estimated undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount, the asset is written down to its fair value, determined by estimated future discounted cash flows. The Company’s evaluation as of December 28, 2008, which included consideration of a history of losses in the U.K. and uncertainty around future financial projections, resulted in an $11.4 million reduction in the carrying value of long-lived assets in the U.K.
As a result of the above, the Company reported losses from operations for 2008 of $70.3 million, compared to earnings from operations of $80.1 million reported in 2007.
Other expense was $3.4 million in 2008, compared to income of $3.2 million in 2007. Included in other expense for 2008 was $3.7 million of foreign exchange losses booked primarily in the fourth quarter, related to yen-denominated net debt for the Temp Holdings investment and ruble-denominated intercompany balances in Russia. Foreign exchange losses were not significant in 2007.
Income tax expense on continuing operations for 2008 was $8.0 million, compared to expense of $29.6 million in 2007. Most of the impairment and restructuring charges were not tax deductible. In foreign countries where future tax deductions are possible, a valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax assets created by the charges. The valuation allowances related to impairment and restructuring charges equaled $2.2 million in Germany, $7.9 million in Japan and $1.3 million in the United Kingdom. The 2008 income tax expense was also impacted by nondeductible losses in the cash surrender value of life insurance policies used to fund the Company’s deferred compensation plans, and by losses in foreign countries which were not currently deductible.
Loss from continuing operations was $81.7 million in 2008, compared to earnings of $53.7 million in 2007. Included in loss from continuing operations in 2008 were $77.2 million, net of tax, of impairment charges, $13.9 million, net of tax, of litigation expenses, $5.3 million, net of tax, of restructuring costs and $1.6 million of French payroll tax credits, net of tax. Included in earnings from continuing operations in 2007 were $7.8 million of expenses, net of tax, related to the U.K. and Americas restructuring actions and $3.2 million of French payroll tax credits, net of tax.
Loss from discontinued operations, which includes KHC’s and KSL’s operating results, totaled $0.5 million for 2008, compared to earnings of $7.3 million for 2007. Discontinued operations for 2008 represent adjustments to assets and liabilities retained as part of the sale agreements. Discontinued operations for 2007 included the $6.2 million gain, net of tax, on the sale of KHC.
Net loss in 2008 was $82.2 million, compared to earnings of $61.0 million in 2007. Diluted loss per share from continuing operations for 2008 was $2.35, as compared to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $1.45 in 2007. Diluted loss per share from continuing operations for 2008 included the $2.22 per share cost of impairments, $0.40 per share cost of litigation expenses, $0.15 per share cost of restructuring costs and a $0.05 per share benefit related to French payroll tax credits. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations for 2007 included $0.21 per share of restructuring costs and a $0.09 per share benefit related to French payroll tax credits.
The impact of including share-based payment awards in the calculation of earnings per share using the two-class method in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles effective with the first quarter of 2009 was to lower previously reported earnings per share amounts for the year ended December 30, 2007 as follows: basic and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations by $0.02, basic earnings per share on net earnings by $0.03 and diluted earnings per share on net earnings by $0.02.

The change in revenue from services in the Americas Commercial segment reflected the decrease in fee-based income, a decrease in hours worked of 12.4%, partially offset by an increase in average hourly bill rates of 3.7% (3.6% on a constant currency basis). Year-over-year revenue comparisons reflect decreases of 6.5% in the first quarter, 6.1% in the second quarter, 9.4% in the third quarter, and 14.9% in the fourth quarter. Americas Commercial represented 45.6% of total Company revenue for 2008 and 48.9% for 2007.
As noted above, the Company revised its estimate of the cost of outstanding workers’ compensation claims and, accordingly, reduced expense in 2008. Of the total $12.7 million adjustment recorded in 2008, $10.5 million is reflected in the results of Americas Commercial. This compares to an adjustment of $10.0 million in 2007. SG&A expenses decreased compared to 2007, but were higher as a percentage of revenue due to lower revenue from services.

The change in revenue from services in Americas PT reflected the decrease in fee-based income, a decrease in hours worked of 4.2%, partially offset by an increase in average billing rates of 2.5%. On a year-over-year basis, revenue increased 2.8% in the first quarter and 1.7% in the second quarter, and decreased 2.5% in the third quarter and 7.0% in the fourth quarter. Americas PT revenue represented 17.0% of total Company revenue for 2008 and 16.8% for 2007.
27
Americas PT’s share of the reduction in workers’ compensation expense was $1.4 million in 2008 and $1.0 million in 2007. SG&A expenses were flat compared to 2007, but were higher as a percentage of revenue due to lower revenue from services.

The change in translated U.S. dollar revenue from services in EMEA Commercial resulted from the increase in fee-based income and an increase in average hourly bill rates of 4.0% (an increase of 0.7% on a constant currency basis), partially offset by a decrease in hours worked of 4.7%. Constant currency year-over-year revenue comparisons reflect decreases of 1.6% in the first quarter and 1.1% in the second quarter, an increase of 1.3% in the third quarter and decrease of 5.0% in the fourth quarter. EMEA Commercial revenue represented 23.8% of total Company revenue for 2008 and 22.8% for 2007. Acquisitions contributed approximately 2 percentage points to EMEA Commercial year-over-year constant currency revenue growth.
The change in the gross profit rate was due to lower French payroll tax credits recognized in 2008 as compared to 2007, and lower temporary gross profit rates primarily in the U.K. Included in SG&A expenses was the effect of $3.9 million of restructuring costs in 2008 and $5.9 million in U.K. restructuring costs in 2007.
EMEA Commercial earnings from operations for 2008 included $3.9 million of restructuring charges and a $2.4 million benefit related to French payroll tax credits. Earnings from operations for 2007 included a $5.9 million charge related to the restructuring of the U.K. operations and a $4.8 million benefit related to French payroll tax credits.

The change in translated U.S. dollar revenue from services in EMEA PT resulted from an increase in fee-based income, a 4.7% increase in average hourly bill rates (1.0% on a constant currency basis), and an increase in hours worked of 1.2%. Constant currency year-over-year revenue comparisons reflect increases of 9.3% in the first quarter, 5.6% in the second quarter, 2.7% in the third quarter and 1.6% in the fourth quarter. EMEA PT revenue represented 3.1% of total Company revenue for 2008 and 2.8% for 2007. Acquisitions contributed approximately 2 percentage points to EMEA PT year-over-year constant currency revenue growth.
The increase in the EMEA PT gross profit rate was primarily due to growth in fee-based income. SG&A expenses increased from 2007, due to costs associated with branch openings during the second half of 2007. Excluding the effect of acquisitions, constant currency SG&A expenses increased approximately 7% from 2007.

The change in translated U.S. dollar revenue from services in APAC PT resulted from an increase in hours worked of 27.6%, combined with an increase in average hourly bill rates of 0.1% (a decrease of 4.4% on a constant currency basis). The constant currency change in average hourly bill rates was impacted by a change in mix to lower average wage rate countries, such as Malaysia and India. Constant currency year-over-year revenue comparisons reflect increases of 63.5% in the first quarter, 42.4% in the second quarter, 9.5% in the third quarter and a decrease of 2.4% in the fourth quarter. APAC PT revenue represented 0.6% of total Company revenue for 2008 and 0.5% for 2007.
The decrease in the APAC PT gross profit rate in 2008 was due to a higher mix of traditional temporary-based revenue as compared to fee-based income. On a constant currency basis, SG&A expenses increased, due primarily to significant investments in this region, including costs associated with new branches.

Results of Operations
Financial Condition
Historically, we have financed our operations through cash generated by operating activities and access to credit markets. Our working capital requirements are primarily generated from temporary employee payroll and customer accounts receivable. Since receipts from customers generally lag payroll to temporary employees, working capital requirements increase substantially in periods of growth. As highlighted in the consolidated statements of cash flows, our liquidity and available capital resources are impacted by four key components: cash and equivalents, operating activities, investing activities and financing activities.
Cash and Equivalents
Cash and equivalents totaled $88.9$80.5 million at the end of 2009,2010, a decrease of $29.4$8.4 million from the $118.3$88.9 million at year-end 2008.2009. As further described below, during 2009,2010, we used $17.2generated $41.8 million of cash from operating activities, used $23.4$11.3 million of cash in investing activities and generated $9.4used $35.3 million fromin financing activities.

The increase from 2009 to 2010 was primarily due to improved earnings in 2010. The decrease from 2008 and 2007to 2009 was primarily due to the decline in operating earnings, after adjustment for non-cash asset impairments and deferral ofnon-cash changes in deferred tax benefits.assets.
Trade accounts receivable totaled $717.9$810.9 million at the end of 2009.2010. Global days sales outstanding for the fourth quarter were 49 days for 2010, compared to 51 days for 2009, compared to 50 days for 2008.2009.

Capital expenditures, which totaled $11.0 million in 2007. The decrease from 2008 and 2007 was due to lower capital expenditures and decreased spending for acquisitions. Capital expenditures totaled2010, $13.1 million in 2009 and $31.1 million in 2008, and $46.0 million in 2007. Capital expenditures are primarily related to the Company’s information technology programs. In 2008, and 2007, capital expenditures included costs for the implementation of the PeopleSoft payroll, billing and accounts receivable project.

Liquidity
We expect to meet our ongoing short- and long-term cash requirements principally through cash generated from operations, available cash and equivalents, securitization and committed unused credit facilities. Additional funding sources could include public or private bonds, asset-based lending, additional bank facilities or other sources. We expect these same sources of liquidity to fund the $61.7 million of our debt which matures on October 3, 2011.
We utilize intercompany loans, dividends, capital contributions and redemptions, and a notional cash pool to effectively manage our cash on a global basis. At the present time, we do not have specific plans to repatriate the majority of our international excess cash balances. As our business recovers, we expect this international cash will be needed to fund working capital growth in our local operations. The majority of our international cash was invested in our cash pool and was available to fund general corporate needs both at our headquarters and at other international affiliates. There are no significant restrictions on our ability to utilize the cash pool, and we did so throughout the year. As our global cash position improved in December, funds from the cash pool were used to help finance reductions of debt.
We manage our cash and debt very closely to minimize outstanding debt balances. As our cash balances build, we tend to pay down debt as appropriate. Conversely, when working capital needs grow, we tend to use corporate cash and cash available in the cash pool first, and then we access our borrowing facilities.
As of January 3, 2010,2, 2011, we had $81$90.0 million of available capacity on our $90 million revolving credit facility and $0.7$37.3 million of available capacity on our $100 million securitization facility. The securitization facility carried $55.0$17.0 million of short-term borrowings and $44.3$45.7 million of standby letters of credit related to workers’ compensation. Together, the revolving credit and securitization facilities provide the Company with committed funding capacity that may be used for general corporate purposes. While we believe these facilities will cover our working capital needs over the short term, if economic conditions improve rapidly or deteriorate further,operating results change significantly, we may need to seek additional sources of fundsfunds. During the first quarter of 2011, we expect to cover increased working capital needs.refinance the revolving credit facility and the securitization facility to increase capacity and improve pricing, terms, and conditions. Once this process is complete, it is our intention to prepay our term loans and move the debt onto the revolving credit facility and the securitization facility.

We also review the ratings and associated covenants are contained in the Debt footnoteholdings of our money market funds and other investment vehicles regularly to ensure high credit quality and access to our consolidated financial statements.invested cash.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In this process, it is necessary for us to make certain assumptions and related estimates affecting the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and the attached notes. Actual results can differ from assumed and estimated amounts.
Critical accounting estimates are those that we believe require the most difficult, subjective or complex judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those estimates may result in materially different amounts being reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. We consider the following estimates to be most critical in understanding the judgments involved in preparing our consolidated financial statements.
32
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable
We make ongoing estimates relating to the collectibility of our accounts receivable and maintain an allowance for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. In determining the amount of the allowance, we consider our historical level of credit losses and apply percentages to certain aged receivable categories. We also make judgments about the creditworthiness of significant customers based on ongoing credit evaluations, and we monitor current economichistorical trends that might impact the level of credit losses in the future. Historically, losses from uncollectible accounts have not exceeded our allowance. Since we cannot predict with certainty future changes in the financial stability of our customers, actual future losses from uncollectible accounts may differ from our estimates. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in their inability to make payments, a larger allowance may be required. In the event we determined that a smaller or larger allowance was appropriate, we would record a credit or a charge to SG&A expense in the period in which we made such a determination. In addition, we also include a provision for sales allowances, based on our historical experience, in our allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. If sales allowances vary from our historical experience, an adjustment to the allowance may be required. As of year-end 20092010 and 2008,2009, the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable was $12.3 million and $15.0 million, and $17.0 million, respectively.
33
Workers’ Compensation
We have a combination of insurance and self-insurance contracts under which we effectively bear the first $500,000 of risk per single accident, except in the state of California, where we bear the first $750,000 of risk per single accident. We establish accruals for workers’ compensation utilizing actuarial methods to estimate the undiscounted future cash payments that will be made to satisfy the claims, including an allowance for incurred-but-not-reported claims. This process includes establishing loss development factors, based on our historical claims experience, as well as industry experience, and applying those factors to current claims information to derive an estimate of our ultimate claims liability. In preparing the estimates, we also consider the nature, frequency and severity of the claims, analyses provided by third party claims administrators, performance of our medical cost management programs, changes in our territory and business line mix as well asand current legal, economic and regulatory factors. Where appropriate, multiple generally-accepted actuarial techniques are applied and tested in the course of preparing our estimates.
We evaluate the accrual, and the underlying assumptions, regularly throughout the year and make adjustments as needed. The ultimate cost of these claims may be greater than or less than the established accrual. While we believe that the recorded amounts are adequate, there can be no assurance that changes to our estimates will not occur due to limitations inherent in the estimation process. In the event we determine that a smaller or larger accrual is appropriate, we would record a credit or a charge to cost of services in the period in which we made such a determination. The accrual for workers’ compensation, net of related receivables which are included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet, was $67.0$70.5 million and $73.2$67.0 million at year-end 20092010 and 2008,2009, respectively.
Goodwill
We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. Generally accepted accounting principles require that goodwill be tested for impairment at a reporting unit level. We have determined that our reporting units are the same as our operating and reportable segments. Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process. In the first step, the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and no further testing is required. To derive the estimated fair value of reporting units, we primarily relied on an income approach. Under the income approach, estimated fair value is determined based on estimated future cash flows discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects the overall level of inherent risk of the reporting unit being measured. Estimated future cash flows are based on our internal projection model. We also considered estimated fair value based onAssumptions and estimates about future cash flows and discount rates are complex and often subjective. They can be affected by a market value approach.variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our internal forecasts.
33
If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value of a reporting unit, a second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. Determining the implied fair value of goodwill requires valuation of a reporting unit’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in a manner similar to the allocation of purchase price in a business combination. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, goodwill is deemed impaired and is written down to the extent of the difference.
Due to significantly worse than anticipated economic conditions and the impacts to our businessContinuing operating losses in the second quarter of 2009, we revised our internal forecasts for all of our segments, which weCompany’s OCG reporting unit were deemed to be a triggering event for purposes of assessing goodwill for impairment.impairment during the second quarter of 2010. Accordingly, we tested goodwill atrelated to OCG and determined that OCG goodwill was not impaired. Additionally, we completed our annual impairment test for all of our reporting units in the fourth quarter for the year ended January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010 and determined that goodwill was tested fornot impaired.
The goodwill impairment loss of $50.5 million recognized in the second quarter of 2009. From step one of the goodwill impairment test, we determined that the estimated fair values of our Americas Commercial, APAC Commercial and EMEA PT reporting units were less than their carrying value. As a result, we performed step two of the goodwill impairment tests to determine the implied fair value of Americas Commercial, APAC Commercial and EMEA PT goodwill. From step two of the goodwill impairment test, we determined that the implied fair value of the goodwill was less than the carrying value of the goodwill for these reporting units. As a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $16.4 million2009 related to the Americas Commercial, reporting unit, $12.1 million related to theEMEA PT and APAC Commercial reporting unit and $22.0units. The goodwill impairment loss of $50.4 million recognized in 2008 related to the EMEA PTCommercial reporting unit. This expense wasThese expenses have been recorded in the asset impairments line on the consolidated statement of earnings. The estimated fair values of all other reporting units exceeded their carrying values.
We completed our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter for the year ended January 3, 2010 and determined that goodwill was not impaired.

The goodwill impairment loss of $50.4 million recognized in the fourth quarter of 2008 related to the EMEA Commercial reporting unit. This expense has been recorded in the asset impairment line on the consolidated statement of earnings.
Our analysis used significant assumptions by segment, including: expected future revenue and expense growth rates, profit margins, cost of capital, discount rate and forecasted capital expenditures. Our projections assumed revenue remained relatively flat in the near term, followed by a recovery and long-term modest growth. Assumptions and estimates about future cash flows and discount rates are complex and subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our internal forecasts.
Although we believe the assumptions and estimates we have made are reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact our reported financial results. Different assumptions of the anticipated future results and growth from these businesses could result in an impairment charge, which would decrease operating income and result in lower asset values on our consolidated balance sheet. For example, a continued worsening of the economy or assumed growth rate reduced by half for the next two years could result in the estimated fair value of the OCG segment falling below its book value. At year-end 20092010 and 2008,2009, total goodwill amounted to $67.3 million and $117.8 million, respectivelymillion. (See Note 6)the Goodwill footnote in the notes to consolidated financial statements).
Income Taxes
Income tax expense is based on expected income and statutory tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Judgment is required in determining our income tax expense. We establish accruals for uncertain tax positions under generally accepted accounting principles, which require that a position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return be recognized in the consolidated financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities that have full knowledge of all relevant information. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Our effective tax rate includes the impact of accrual provisions and changes to accruals that we consider appropriate, as well as related interest and penalties. A number of years may elapse before a particular matter, for which we have or have not established an accrual, is audited and finally resolved. While it is often difficult to predict the final outcome or the timing of resolution of any particular tax matter, we believe that our accruals are appropriate under generally accepted accounting principles. Favorable or unfavorable adjustment of the accrual for any particular issue would be recognized as an increase or decrease to our income tax expense in the period of a change in facts and circumstances. Our current tax accruals are presented in the consolidated balance sheet within income and other taxes and long-term tax accruals are presented in the consolidated balance sheet within other long-term liabilities.
Tax laws require items to be included in the tax return at different times than the items are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. As a result, the income tax expense reflected in our consolidated financial statements is different than the liability reported in our tax return. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses which are not deductible on our tax return, and some are temporary differences, such as depreciation expense. Temporary differences createwhich give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets generally represent items that can be used as a tax deduction or credit in our tax return in future years for which we have already recorded the tax benefit in our consolidated income statement. We establish valuation allowances for our deferred tax assets when the amount of expected future taxable income is not likely to support the use of the deduction or credit. Deferred tax liabilities generally represent items for which we have already taken a deduction on our tax return, but have not yet recognized as expense in our consolidated financial statements.

Litigation
Kelly is subject to legal proceedings and claims arising out of the normal course of business. Kelly routinely assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes to these matters, as well as ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of the accruals required, if any, for these contingencies is made after analysis of each known issue. Development of the analysis includes consideration of many factors including: potential exposure, the status of proceedings, negotiations, results of similar litigation and participation rates. The required accruals may change in the future due to new developments in each matter. For further discussion, see Note 17,the Contingencies footnote in the Notesnotes to Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. At year-end 20092010 and 2008,2009, the accrual for litigation costs amounted to $2.3$3.6 million and $24.2$2.3 million, respectively, and is included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Of the $2.3 million litigation accrual for year-end 2009, Kelly paid $2.2 million on February 2, 2010.

New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements presented in Part II, Item 8 of this report for a description of new accounting pronouncements.
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements contained in this report are “forward-looking” statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements which are predictive in nature, which depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or which include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” or variations or negatives thereof or by similar or comparable words or phrases. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance (including future revenues, earnings or growth rates), ongoing business strategies or prospects, and possible future actions by us that may be provided by management are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about our company and economic and market factors in the countries in which we do business, among other things. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and we have no specific intention to update these statements.
Actual events and results may differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors. The principal important risk factors that could cause our actual performance and future events and actions to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, competitive market pressures including pricing, changing market and economic conditions, our ability to achieve our business strategy, including our ability to successfully expand into new markets and service lines, material changes in demand from or loss of large corporate customers, further impairment charges initiated by adverse industry or market developments, unexpected termination of customer contracts, availability of temporary workers with appropriate skills required by customers, increases in wages paid to temporary workers, liabilities for clientemployment-related claims and employee actions, foreign currency fluctuations,losses, including class action lawsuits, unexpected changes in claim trends on workers’ compensation and benefit plans, our ability to maintain specified financial covenants in our bank facilities, our ability to access credit markets and continued availability of financing for funding working capital, our ability to sustain critical business applications through our key data centers, our ability to effectively implement and manage our information technology programs, our ability to retain the services of our senior management, local management and field personnel, the impact of changes in laws and regulations (including federal, state and international tax laws), the net financial impact of recent U.S. healthcare legislation on our ability to effectively implementbusiness, and manage our information technology programs, and our ability to successfully expand into new markets and service lines.risks associated with conducting business in foreign countries, including foreign currency fluctuations. Certain risk factors are discussed more fully under “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of this report.

| ITEM 7A. | | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. |
We do not hold or invest in derivative contracts. We are exposed to foreign currency risk primarily fromdue to our net investment in foreign subsidiaries, which conduct business in their local currencies, and relatedas well as our local currency-denominated borrowings. With the exception of our yen-denominated debt, the local currency-denominated debt offsets the exchange rate risk resulting from foreign currency-denominated net investments fluctuating in relation to the U.S. dollar.
During the second quarter of 2010, we entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to offset the variability in exchange rates on our yen-denominated debt. By using these derivative instruments to hedge exposures to foreign exchange risk, we expose ourselves to credit risk and market risk. To mitigate the credit risk, which is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the contract, we place hedging instruments with different investment grade-rated counterparties that we believe are minimal credit risk. To manage market risk, which is the change in the value of the contract that results from a change in foreign exchange rate, we match the contract and maturity with the yen-denominated debt repayment schedule. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
In addition, we are exposed to interest rate risks through our use of the multi-currency line of credit and other borrowings. A hypothetical fluctuation of 10% inof market interest rates would not have a material impact on 20092010 earnings.
Marketable equity investments, representing our investment in Temp Holdings, are stated at fair value and marked to market through stockholders’ equity, net of tax. Impairments in value below historical cost, if any, deemed to be other than temporary, would be expensed in the consolidated statement of earnings. See Note 2, Fair Value Measurements footnote in the Notesnotes to Consolidated Financial Statementsconsolidated financial statements of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for further discussion.
We are exposed to market risk as a result of our obligation to pay benefits under our nonqualified deferred compensation plan and our related investments in company-owned variable universal life insurance policies. The obligation to employees increases and decreases based on movements in the equity and debt markets. The investments in mutual funds, as part of the company-owned variable universal life insurance policies, are designed to mitigate, but not eliminate, this risk with offsetting gains and losses.
Overall, our holdings and positions in market risk-sensitive instruments do not subject us to material risk.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
The management of Kelly Services, Inc. (the “Company”), is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Company’s principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by the Company’s board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:
Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;
Provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company;
Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may change.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 3, 2010.2, 2011. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on our assessment, management determined that, as of January 3, 2010,2, 2011, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 3, 20102, 2011 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears on page 45.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Kelly Services, Inc.:
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kelly Services, Inc. and its subsidiaries at January 2, 2011 and January 3, 2010, and December 28, 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended January 3, 20102, 2011 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2)presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of January 3, 2010,2, 2011, based on criteria established inInternal Control — Integrated Frameworkissued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Controls OverControl over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of OperationsKelly Services, Inc. is a global workforce solutions provider operating in all major markets throughout the world.
Fiscal YearThe Company’s fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest to December 31. The three most recent years ended on January 2, 2011 (2010, which contained 52 weeks), January 3, 2010 (2009, which contained 53 weeks), and December 28, 2008 (2008, which contained 52 weeks) and December 30, 2007 (2007, which contained 52 weeks). Period costs included in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses are recorded on a calendar-year basis.
Principles of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements include the accounts and operations of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Available-For-Sale InvestmentAvailable-for-sale securitiesinvestments are carried at fair value with the unrealized gains or losses, net of tax, included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses and declines in value below cost judged to be other-than-temporary on such securities are included as a component of asset impairments expense in the consolidated statement of earnings. The fair values of available-for-sale securitiesinvestments are based on quoted market prices.
We have evaluated the consolidated financial statements for subsequent events through the date of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Foreign Currency TranslationAll of the Company’s international subsidiaries use their local currency as their functional currency. Revenue and expense accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars at average exchange rates, while assets and liabilities are translated to U.S. dollars at year-end exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments, net of deferred taxes, where applicable, are reported as accumulated foreign currency adjustments in stockholders’ equity and are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.
Revenue RecognitionRevenue from services is recognized as services are provided by the temporary or contract employees. Revenue from permanent placement services is recognized at the time the permanent placement candidate begins full-time employment. Revenue from other fee-based consulting services is recognized when the services are provided. Provisions for sales allowances, based on historical experience, are recognized at the time the related sale is recognized as a reduction in revenue from services.
Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts ReceivableThe Company records an allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable based on historical loss experience, customer payment patterns and current economic trends. The reserve for sales allowances, as discussed above, is also included in the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company reviews the adequacy of the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable on a quarterly basis and, if necessary, increases or decreases the balance by recording a charge or credit to SG&A expenses.
Cost of ServicesCost of services are those costs directly associated with the earning of revenue. The primary examples of these types of costs are temporary employee wages, along with associated payroll taxes, temporary employee benefits, such as service bonus and holiday pay, and workers’ compensation costs. These costs differ fundamentally from SG&A expenses in that they arise specifically from the action of providing our services to customers whereas SG&A costs are incurred regardless of whether or not we place temporary employees with our customers.
Advertising ExpensesAdvertising expenses from continuing operations, which are expensed as incurred and are included in SG&A expenses, were $7.0 million in 2010, $7.1 million in 2009 and $11.1 million in 2008 and 2007.2008.
Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, the accounting for the allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable, workers’ compensation, goodwill and long-lived asset impairment, litigation costs and income taxes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Cash and EquivalentsCash and equivalents are stated at fair value. The Company considers securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash and equivalents.
Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are stated at cost and are depreciated over their estimated useful lives, principally by the straight-line method. EstimatedCost and estimated useful lives of property and equipment by function are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The Company capitalizes external costs and internal payroll costs incurred in the development of software for internal use as required by the Internal-Use Software Subtopic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). Work in process represents capitalized costs for internal use software not yet in service and is included with computer hardware, software and software, equipment, furniture and leasehold improvementsother on the consolidated balance sheet. Depreciation expense from continuing operations was $31.3 million for 2010, $36.0 million for 2009 and $41.4 million for 2008 and $40.4 million for 2007.2008.
Operating LeasesThe Company recognizes rent expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. This includes the impact of both scheduled rent increases and free or reduced rents (commonly referred to as “rent holidays”). The Company records allowances provided by landlords for leasehold improvements as deferred rent in the consolidated balance sheet and as operating cash flows in the consolidated statement of cash flows.
Goodwill and Other Intangible AssetsGoodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired. Purchased intangible assets with definite lives are recorded at estimated fair value at the date of acquisition and are amortized over their respective useful lives (from 3 to 15 years) on an accelerated basis commensurate with the related cash flows.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangible AssetsThe Company evaluates long-lived assets and intangible assets with definite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. When estimated undiscounted future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover an asset’s carrying amount, the asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Assets to be disposed of by sale, if any, are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value less cost to sell.
We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. We have determined that our reporting units are the same as our operating and reportable segments based on our organizational structure and the financial information that is provided to and reviewed by management. Goodwill is tested for impairment using a two-step process. In the first step, the estimated fair value of a reporting unit is compared to its carrying value. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and no further testing is required.
If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to a reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value of a reporting unit, a second step of the impairment test is performed in order to determine the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill. Determining the implied fair value of goodwill requires valuation of a reporting unit’s tangible and intangible assets and liabilities in a manner similar to the allocation of purchase price in a business combination. If the carrying value of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, goodwill is deemed impaired and is written down to the extent of the difference.

Accounts PayableIncluded in accounts payable are outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit. Such amounts totaled $21.7$10.2 million and $28.4$21.7 million at year-end 20092010 and 2008,2009, respectively.
Accrued Payroll and Related TaxesIncluded in accrued payroll and related taxes are outstanding checks in excess of funds on deposit. Such amounts totaled $6.3$6.4 million and $9.9$6.3 million at year-end 20092010 and 2008,2009, respectively. Payroll taxes are recognized proportionately to direct wages for interim periods based on expected full-year amounts.
Income TaxesThe Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Valuation allowances are provided against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Uncertain tax positions that are taken or expected to be taken in a tax return are recognized in the financial statements when it is more likely than not (i.e., a likelihood of more than fifty percent) that the position would be sustained upon examination by tax authorities that have full knowledge of all relevant information. A recognized tax position is then measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Interest and penalties related to income taxes are accounted for as income tax expense.
Stock-Based CompensationThe Company may grant restricted stock awards, stock options (both incentive and nonqualified), stock appreciation rights and performance awards to key employees utilizing the Company’s Class A stock. The Company utilizes the market price on the date of grant as the fair market value for restricted stock awards and estimates the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of awards that are ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in SG&A expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of earnings.
Earnings Per ShareRestricted stock awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends before vesting are considered participating securities and, therefore, included in the calculation of earnings per share using the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, earnings from continuing operations (or net earnings) is reduced by the amount of dividends declared, and the remaining undistributed earnings is allocated to common stock and participating securities based on the proportion of each class’s weighted average shares outstanding to the total weighted average shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the effect of potential common shares outstanding in the average weighted shares outstanding.
Workers’ CompensationThe Company establishes accruals for workers’ compensation claims utilizing actuarial methods to estimate the undiscounted future cash payments that will be made to satisfy the claims. The estimates are based both on historical experience as well as current legal, economic and regulatory factors. The Company regularly updates its estimates, and the ultimate cost of these claims may be greater than or less than the established accrual. However, the Company believes that any such adjustments will not materially affect its consolidated financial position. During 2009,2010, the Company revised its estimate of the cost of outstanding workers’ compensation claims and, accordingly, reduced expense by $2.8$5.2 million. This compares to adjustments reducing prior year workers’ compensation claims by $2.8 million in 2009 and $12.7 million in 2008 and $11.6 million in 2007.2008.
ReclassificationsCertain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation.presentation, including the reclassification of the year-to-date decrease in book overdrafts of $10.2 million in 2009 and increase of $9.8 million in 2008 from financing to operating activities in the statement of cash flows, and the reclassification of $3.2 million and $7.6 million in workers’ compensation receivables in 2009 from current accrued insurance and noncurrent accrued insurance, respectively, to other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

2. Fair Value Measurements (continued)
During 2010, the Company entered into two forward foreign currency exchange contracts to offset the variability in exchange rates on its yen-denominated debt. These contracts, which are included on a net basis in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheet, are valued using market exchange rates and are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, gains and losses resulting from recording the foreign exchange contracts at fair value are reported in other expense, net on the consolidated statement of earnings, and amounted to a gain of $1.6 million for the year ended January 2, 2011. At January 2, 2011, the Company had an open forward foreign currency exchange contract with an expiration date of less than one year to buy foreign currencies with a U.S. dollar equivalent of $6.1 million. The Company does not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
During 2008, the Company recorded in the asset impairments line of the consolidated statement of earnings an other-than-temporary impairment of $18.7 million related to the investment in Temp Holdings.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, such as when there is evidence of impairment. The following table presents assets carriedIn 2010, management assessed the viability of certain incomplete software projects in Europe and the U.S. Based on the consolidatedestimated costs to complete, management terminated the projects and recorded impairment charges of $2.0 million. After the impairment charges, the remaining balance sheet byrelated to these software projects was zero, which represented the fair value hierarchy level described above asat January 2, 2011.
Continuing operating losses in the Company’s OCG reporting unit were deemed to be a triggering event for purposes of assessing goodwill for impairment during the second quarter of 2010. Accordingly, we tested goodwill related to OCG and determined that OCG goodwill was not impaired. Additionally, we completed our annual impairment test for all reporting units in the fourth quarter for the year ended January 3, 2010 for which a nonrecurring change in2, 2011 and determined that goodwill was not impaired. The estimated fair value has been recorded duringof each reporting unit significantly exceeded its related carrying value.
Our analysis used significant assumptions by segment, including: expected future revenue and expense growth rates, profit margins, cost of capital, discount rate and forecasted capital expenditures. Assumptions and estimates about future cash flows and discount rates are complex and subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and internal forecasts. Our revenue projections assumed a moderate recovery in the near term, followed by long-term modest growth.

Duedue to significantly worse than anticipated economic conditions and the impacts to our business, in the second quarter of 2009, we revised our internal forecasts for all of our segments, which we deemed to be a triggering event for purposes of assessing goodwill for impairment. Accordingly, goodwill at all of our reporting units was tested for impairment in the second quarter of 2009. The Company’s reporting units are the same as its operating and reportable segments.
The Company primarily used a discounted cash flow methodology to determine the estimated fair value of its reporting units. We also considered other valuation techniques, such as the market approach. We determined that the estimated fair value of our Americas Commercial, APAC Commercial and EMEA PT reporting units were less than their carrying value. As a result, we performed additional impairment testing to determine the implied fair value of goodwill for these reporting units. The implied fair value of the goodwill was less than the carrying value of the goodwill in each of those reporting units. As a result, we recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $50.5 million, of which $16.4 million is related to the Americas Commercial reporting unit, $12.1 million is related to the APAC Commercial reporting unit and $22.0 million is related to the EMEA PT reporting unit (See Note 6). Thisand $12.1 million related to the APAC Commercial reporting unit. The expense was recorded in the asset impairments line on the consolidated statement of earnings. The estimated fair
We evaluate long-lived assets, including intangible assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of all other reporting units exceeded their carrying value.
Our analysis used significant assumptions by segment, including: expectedan asset may not be recoverable, based on estimated undiscounted future revenue and expense growth rates, profit margins, costcash flows. The Company’s estimates as of capital, discount rate and forecasted capital expenditures. Our projections assumed that revenue remained relatively flatJune 28, 2009 resulted in a $2.1 million reduction in the near term, followed bycarrying value of long-lived assets and intangible assets in Japan. Additionally, the Company’s estimates as of September 27, 2009 resulted in a recovery and long-term modest growth. Assumptions and estimates about future cash flows and discount rates are complex and subjective. They can be affected by a variety of factors, including external factors such as industry and economic trends, and internal factors such as changes in our business strategy and our internal forecasts.
Although we believe the assumptions and estimates we made are reasonable and appropriate, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact our reported financial results. Different assumptions of the anticipated future results and growth from these businesses could result in an impairment charge of our remaining goodwill balance of $67.3 million. Such a charge would decrease operating income and result in lower asset values on our consolidated balance sheet. For example, a continued worsening of the economy or assumed growth rate reduced by half for the next two years could result$0.5 million reduction in the estimated faircarrying value of the OCG segment falling below its book value.

During 2008, we determined that the fair value of our EMEA Commercial reporting unit was less than its carrying value. As a result, we recognized a goodwill impairment loss of $50.4 million in the EMEA Commercial reporting unit during the fourth quarter of 2008. This expense was recorded in the asset impairments line on the consolidated statement of earnings.
The Company’s estimates as of June 28, 2009 resulted in a $2.1 million reduction in the carrying value of long-lived assets and intangible assets in Japan. Additionally, the Company’s estimates as of September 27, 2009 resulted in a $0.5 million reduction in the carrying value of long-lived assets and intangible assets in Europe. The Company tested its long-lived assets in the U.K. for impairment as of December 28, 2008, resulting in an impairment charge of $11.4 million, which was recorded in the asset impairments line of the Company’s consolidated statement of earnings. The impairment primarily included computer software and leasehold improvements.

In January, 2009, we initiated a more significant restructuring plangoodwill for our U.K. operations, and completed it during the year. Throughout 2009, we continued to expand our focus to achieve further cost savings and related efficiencies by assessing the scale of our global branch network, along with permanent employee headcount levels.

11.10. Earnings Per Share
In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance which clarifies that share-based payment awards that entitle their holders to receive nonforfeitable dividends before vesting should be considered participating securities and, therefore, included in the calculation of earnings per share using the two-class method. This guidance was effective beginning with the first quarter of 2009, and all prior period earnings per share data presented was adjusted retrospectively to conform with the provisions of this guidance. The impact of adopting the provisions of this guidance was to lower earnings per share amounts for 2007 as follows: basic and diluted earnings per share on income from continuing operations by $0.02, basic earnings per share on net earnings by $0.03 and diluted earnings per share on net earnings by $0.02. There was no impact on previously reported earnings per share amounts for 2008.
The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under this method, earnings from continuing operations (or net earnings) is reduced by the amount of dividends declared, and the remaining undistributed earnings is allocated to common stock and participating securities based on the proportion of each class’s weighted average shares outstanding to the total weighted average shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share includes the effect of potential common shares outstanding in the average weighted shares outstanding.

Reconciliations for 2009 and 2008 are not applicable, since an allocation of the net loss in those years to participating securities would have an anti-dilutive effect on basic and diluted per share amounts.

Due to the fact that there were no potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period, the computations of basic and diluted earnings per share on common stock are the same for 2010, 2009 and 2008. Stock options representing 0.7 million, 0.9 million and 1.1 million shares for 2010, 2009 and 0.5 million shares, respectively, for 2009, 2008, and 2007, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings (loss) earnings per share due to their anti-dilutive effect.
We have presented earnings per share for our two classes of common stock on a combined basis. This presentation is consistent with the earnings per share computations that result for each class of common stock utilizing the two-class method as described in ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula which determines earnings per share for each class of common stock according to the dividends declared (or accumulated) and participation rights in the undistributed earnings.
In applying the two class method, we have determined that the undistributed earnings should be allocated to each class on a pro rata basis after consideration of all of the participation rights of the Class B shares (including voting and conversion rights) and our history of paying dividends equally to each class of common stock on a per share basis.

11. Earnings Per Share (continued)
The Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation allows the Board of Directors to declare a cash dividend to Class A shares without declaring equal dividends to the Class B shares. Class B shares’ voting and conversion rights, however, effectively allow the Class B shares to participate in dividends equally with Class A shares on a per share basis.
The Class B shares are the only shares with voting rights. The Class B shareholders are therefore able to exercise voting control with respect to all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of or removal of directors. The Board of Directors has historically declared and the Company historically has paid equal per share dividends on both the Class A and Class B shares. Each class has participated equally in all dividends declared since 1987.
In addition, Class B shares are convertible, at the option of the holder, into Class A shares on a one for one basis. As a result, Class B shares can participate equally in any dividends declared on the Class A shares by exercising their conversion rights.

General business credits primarily represent work opportunity credits in the United States. Foreign business taxes are taxes based on revenue less certain expenses and are classified as income taxes under ASC 740. The increase in 2010 is primarily due to the French business tax, which had been classified as a component of SG&A prior to 2010. The French government changed the business tax from an asset-based tax to an income-based tax, thereby requiring the classification of this tax as an income tax for 2010.
The Company has U.S. general business credit carryforwards of $35.3$37.8 million which expire from 20272028 to 20292030 and foreign tax credit carryforwards of $0.9$1.7 million which expire in 2019.2019 and 2020.

The Company has established a valuation allowance for loss carryforwards and future deductible items in certain foreign jurisdictions. The valuation allowance is determined in accordance with the provisions of ASC Topic 740 (“ASC 740”), Income Taxes, which requires an assessment of both negative and positive evidence when measuring the need for a valuation allowance. The Company’s foreign losses in recent periods in these jurisdictions represented sufficient negative evidence to require a valuation allowance under ASC 740. The Company intends to maintain a valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support realization of the foreign deferred tax assets.
Provision has not been made for U.S. or additional foreign income taxes on an estimated $39.6$26.2 million of undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries, which are permanently reinvested. If such earnings were to be remitted, management believes that U.S. foreign tax credits would largely eliminate any such U.S. and foreign income taxes.

In the fourth quarter of 2009, an adjustment was made to deferred taxes to correct an immaterial error related to years prior to 2007. This caused the income tax benefit to be reduced by $1.7 million, and other comprehensive income to be reduced by $1.5 million.
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC 740 dealing with Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes on January 1, 2007. Upon adoption, the Company recognized a $0.3 million increase in its retained earnings balance. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows:

If the $6.4 million in 2010, $6.8 million in 2009 and $2.5 million in 2008 and $3.7 million in 2007 of unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, they would have a favorable effect of $6.0 million in 2010, $6.2 million in 2009 and $2.0 million in 2008 and $2.8 million in 2007 on the effective tax rate.

17.16. Contingencies
On February 5, 2003, an action was commenced in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of California by Lynn Noyes against the Company, alleging religious discrimination. In August 2004, Kelly’s Motion for Summary Judgment was granted dismissing the complaint. Noyes appealed and the case was remanded for trial. On April 4, 2008, a jury returned a verdict, finding the Company liable for religious discrimination. The verdict was comprised of: $0.2 million for economic damages, $0.5 million for emotional distress damages and $5.9 million in punitive damages. The Company pursued post trial motions which resulted in the reduction of punitive damages to $0.7 million. The Company continues to believe there is no basis for finding religious discrimination and has filed and argued its appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit. The Appeals Court upheld the jury’s verdict along with the reduction of the punitive damages amount. The Company paid the final settlement of $2.2 million on February 2, 2010.
The Company is the subject of two pending class action lawsuits. The two lawsuits, Fuller v. Kelly Services, Inc. and Kelly Home Care Services, Inc., pending in the Superior Court of California, Los Angeles, and Sullivan v. Kelly Services, Inc., pending in the U.S. District Court Southern District of California, both involve claims for monetary damages by current and former temporary employees working in the State of California.
The Fuller matter involves claims relating to various legal proceedingsalleged misclassification of personal attendants as exempt and not entitled to overtime compensation under state law and to alleged technical violations of a state law governing the content of employee pay stubs. On April 30, 2007, the Court in the Fuller case certified both plaintiff classes involved in the suit. In the third quarter of 2008, Kelly was granted a hearing date for its motions related to summary judgment on both certified claims. On March 13, 2009, the Court granted Kelly’s motion for decertification of the classes. Plaintiffs filed a petition for review on April 3, 2009 requesting the decertification ruling be overturned. Plaintiffs’ request was granted on May 17, 2010 and the suit was recertified as a class action.

19. New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-06, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASU 2010-06”). The new standard amends Subtopic 820-10 of the FASB ASC by adding new disclosure requirements on transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and on activity within Level 3 fair value measurements. The new disclosures are required for all entities that are required to provide disclosures about recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosure on Level 3 fair value activity, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. We are in the process of evaluating the potential impacts of this new guidance, but do not expect it will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
