Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Contingencies	Contingencies The Company is continuously engaged in litigation, threatened litigation, claims, audits or investigations arising in the ordinary course of its business, such as matters alleging employment discrimination, wage and hour violations, claims for indemnification or liability, violations of privacy rights, anti-competition regulations, commercial and contractual disputes, and tax-related matters which could result in a material adverse outcome. We record accruals for loss contingencies when we believe it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and in accrued workers’ compensation and other claims in the consolidated balance sheet. At third quarter-end 2022 and year-end 2021, the gross accrual for litigation costs amounted to $5.6 million and $1.4 million, respectively. The Company maintains insurance coverage which may cover certain losses. When losses exceed the applicable policy deductible and realization of recovery of the loss from existing insurance policies is deemed probable, the Company records receivables from the insurance company for the excess amount, which are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. At third quarter-end 2022, the related insurance receivables amounted to $2.7 million. At year-end 2021, there were no related insurance receivables. The Company estimates the aggregate range of reasonably possible losses, in excess of amounts accrued, is $0.5 million to $4.0 million as of third quarter-end 2022. This range includes matters where a liability has been accrued but it is reasonably possible that the ultimate loss may exceed the amount accrued and for matters where a loss is believed to be reasonably possible, but a liability has not been accrued. The aggregate range only represents matters in which we are currently able to estimate a range of loss and does not represent our maximum loss exposure. The estimated range is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and only based upon currently available information. For other matters, we are currently not able to estimate the reasonably possible loss or range of loss. While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, to require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively to business combinations that occur after the effective date. We early adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2022 and the adoption did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 which clarifies the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. The guidance clarifies how to account for the transition into and out of the equity method of accounting when considering observable transactions under the measurement alternative. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 simplifying various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. The guidance removes exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. Not Yet Adopted Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Credit Losses	Credit Losses The rollforward of our allowance for credit losses related to trade accounts receivable, which is recorded in trade accounts receivable, less allowance in the consolidated balance sheet, is as follows (in millions of dollars): September Year to Date 2022 2021 Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance $ 9.4 $ 9.8 Current period provision 1.3 0.8 Currency exchange effects (0.4) (0.4) Write-offs (1.8) (0.7) Ending balance $ 8.5 $ 9.5 Write-offs are presented net of recoveries, which were not material for September year-to-date 2022 and 2021. We were engaged in litigation with a customer over a disputed accounts receivable balance for certain services rendered more than five years ago, which had been recorded as a long-term receivable in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The related allowance for credit losses on this long-term customer receivable was $10.9 million and represented the likelihood of collection. In September 2021, a final ruling in the case was entered in favor of the customer. As a result, in the third quarter of 2021, we wrote off the entire receivable balance with this customer, including $0.6 million not previously reserved. The unreserved portion was recorded in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings. The 2021 September year-to-date rollforward of our allowance for credit losses related to the long-term customer receivable, which was recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet, is as follows (in millions of dollars): September Year to Date 2021 Allowance for credit losses: Beginning balance $ 10.9 Current period provision 0.6 Write-offs (11.5) Ending Balance $ — There were no allowances for long-term customer receivables during September year-to-date 2022. No other allowances related to other receivables were material for September year-to-date 2022.

Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions [Abstract]
Acquisitions and Disposition	Acquisitions and Disposition Acquisitions In the second quarter of 2022, Kelly Services USA, LLC ("KSU"), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired Pediatric Therapeutic Services ("PTS"), as detailed below. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company acquired Rocket Power Holdings LLC and Rocket Power Ops LLC (collectively, "RocketPower"), as detailed below. In the second quarter of 2021, the Company acquired Softworld, Inc. ("Softworld"), as detailed below. Pediatric Therapeutic Services On May 2, 2022, KSU acquired 100% of the membership interests of PTS for a purchase price of $82.1 million. PTS is a specialty firm that provides and manages various state and federally mandated in-school therapy services. This acquisition expands Education's K-12 solution offering in the education staffing market and serves as an entry point into the therapeutic services market. Under terms of the purchase agreement, the purchase price was adjusted for cash held by PTS at the closing date and estimated working capital adjustments resulting in the Company paying cash of $85.7 million. Total consideration includes $1.1 million of additional consideration that is payable to the seller by the end of 2022 related to employee retention credits and is recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company paid $0.1 million of the employee retention credits. The total consideration is as follows (in millions of dollars): Cash consideration paid $ 85.7 Additional consideration payable 1.1 Total consideration $ 86.8 Due to the limited amount of time that has passed since acquiring PTS, the purchase price allocation for this acquisition is preliminary and could change. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (in millions of dollars): Cash $ 0.9 Trade accounts receivable 10.0 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 1.6 Net property and equipment 0.4 Goodwill 36.3 Intangibles 40.3 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current (2.6) Accrued payroll and related taxes, current (0.1) Total consideration, including working capital adjustments $ 86.8 The fair value of the acquired receivables represents the contractual value. Included in the assets purchased in the PTS acquisition was $40.3 million of intangibles, made up of $29.8 million in customer relationships, $9.3 million associated with PTS's trade names and $1.2 million for non-compete agreements. Customer relationships will be amortized over 15 years with no residual value, trade names will be amortized over 15 years with no residual value, and the non-compete agreements will be amortized over five years with no residual value. Goodwill generated from the acquisition was primarily attributable to expected synergies from combining operations and expanding market potential and was assigned to the Education operating segment (see Goodwill and Intangible Assets footnote). All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. PTS's results of operations are included in the Education segment. Our consolidated revenues for the third quarter and September year-to-date 2022 included $8.0 million and $15.2 million, respectively, from PTS. Our consolidated earnings from operations for the third quarter and September year-to-date 2022 included $0.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively, from PTS. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as the acquisition does not have a material impact to the consolidated statements of earnings. RocketPower On March 7, 2022, the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of RocketPower for a purchase price of $59.3 million. RocketPower is a leading provider of RPO and other outsourced talent solutions to U.S. high-tech companies. This acquisition expands OCG's RPO solution and delivery offering and enhances the specialty RPO strategy and expertise within the high-tech industry. Under terms of the purchase agreement, the purchase price was adjusted for cash held by RocketPower at the closing date and estimated working capital adjustments resulting in the Company paying cash of $61.8 million. Total consideration includes $1.1 million of additional consideration that is payable to the seller in 2023 related to employee retention credits and contingent consideration with an initial estimated fair value of $0.6 million related to an earnout payment with a maximum potential cash payment of $31.8 million in the event certain financial metrics are met per the terms of the agreement. The initial fair value of the earnout was established using a Black Scholes model and it was reassessed in the third quarter of 2022 (see Fair Value Measurements footnote). The total consideration is as follows (in millions of dollars): Cash consideration paid $ 61.8 Additional consideration payable 1.1 Contingent consideration 0.6 Total consideration $ 63.5 Due to the limited amount of time that has passed since acquiring RocketPower, the purchase price allocation for this acquisition is preliminary and could change. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of the acquisition (in millions of dollars): Cash $ 3.5 Trade accounts receivable 6.9 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 1.8 Net property and equipment 0.1 Goodwill 41.0 Intangibles 15.8 Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, current (2.9) Accrued payroll and related taxes, current (1.5) Other long-term liabilities (1.2) Total consideration, including working capital adjustments $ 63.5 The fair value of the acquired receivables represents the contractual value. Included in the assets purchased in the RocketPower acquisition was $15.8 million of intangible assets, made up of $7.5 million in customer relationships, $6.6 million associated with RocketPower's trade names and $1.7 million for non-compete agreements. Customer relationships will be amortized over three years with no residual value, trade names will be amortized over 10 years with no residual value, and the non-compete agreements will be amortized over six years with no residual value. Goodwill generated from the acquisition was primarily attributable to expected synergies from combining operations and expanding market potential and was assigned to the OCG operating segment. The amount of goodwill expected to be deductible for tax purposes is approximately $28.0 million. In the third quarter of 2022, changes in market conditions triggered interim impairment tests for both long-lived assets and goodwill, resulting in the Company recording goodwill impairment expense of $30.7 million (see Goodwill and Intangible Assets footnote). RocketPower's results of operations are included in the OCG segment in 2022 on a one-month lag, accordingly our first quarter 2022 consolidated revenues and earnings from operations did not include any results from RocketPower. Our consolidated revenues for the third quarter and September year-to-date 2022 included $7.0 million and $18.5 million, respectively, from RocketPower. Our consolidated earnings from operations for the third quarter and September year-to-date 2022 included a loss of $0.6 million and earnings of $0.5 million, respectively, from RocketPower. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented as the acquisition does not have a material impact to the consolidated statements of earnings. Softworld On April 5, 2021, the Company acquired 100% of the shares of Softworld for a purchase price of $215.0 million. Softworld is a leading technology staffing and workforce solutions firm that serves clients across several end-markets, including financial services, life sciences, aerospace, defense, insurance, retail and IT consulting. This acquisition is intended to expand our capabilities, scale and solution set in our technology specialty. Under terms of the purchase agreement, the purchase price was adjusted for cash held by Softworld at the closing date and estimated working capital adjustments resulting in the Company paying cash of $220.4 million. Total consideration includes $2.6 million of additional consideration that is payable to the seller in the fourth quarter of 2022. In the third quarter of 2021, the Company received cash for a post-close working capital adjustment of $6.0 million. The total consideration is as follows (in millions of dollars): Cash consideration paid $ 220.4 Additional consideration payable 2.6 Net working capital adjustment (6.0) Total consideration $ 217.0 As of first quarter-end 2022, the purchase price allocation for this acquisition was final. Goodwill generated from the acquisition was primarily attributable to expanding market potential and the expected revenue synergies and was assigned to the SET operating segment (see Goodwill and Intangible Assets footnote). All of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for tax purposes. Disposition On July 20, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its Russia operations ("disposal group"), which was included in the Company's International operating segment. The Company received cash proceeds of $7.4 million, which is less than the cash disposed of in the sale, resulting in investing cash outflows of $6.0 million in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The disposal group was previously reported as held for sale as of our second quarter-end 2022 with an $18.5 million impairment charge associated with the transaction. The total loss on the sale is $18.7 million, resulting from an additional $0.2 million loss on the transaction in the third quarter of 2022, which is recorded in loss on disposal in the consolidated statements of earnings. The loss on disposal includes the liquidation of the cumulative translation adjustment of $1.4 million. The disposal group does not meet the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations as the sale does not have a material effect on the Company's operations and does not represent a strategic shift in the Company's strategy. Our consolidated revenue for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 included $5.0 million and $33.0 million, respectively, from the Russia operations and for September year-to-date 2022 and 2021 included $63.4 million and $99.3 million, respectively, from the Russia operations. Our consolidated earnings before taxes for the third quarter of 2022 and 2021 included $0.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively, from the Russia operations and for September year-to-date 2022 and 2021 included $1.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively, from the Russia operations. The major classes of divested assets and liabilities were as follows (in millions of dollars): Assets divested Cash and equivalents $ 13.4 Trade accounts receivable, net 22.8 Prepaid expenses and other current assets 0.7 Property and equipment, net 0.7 Deferred taxes 0.4 Other assets 0.3 Assets divested 38.3 Liabilities divested Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (0.6) Accrued payroll and related taxes (7.3) Income and other taxes (5.7) Liabilities divested (13.6) Disposal group, net $ 24.7

Investment in Persol Holdings [Abstract]
Investment in Persol Holdings	Investment in Persol Holdings Prior to February 2022, the Company had a yen-denominated investment through the Company's subsidiary, Kelly Services Japan, Inc., in the common stock of Persol Holdings Co., Ltd. ("Persol Holdings"), the 100% owner of Persol Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., the Company’s joint venture partner in PersolKelly Pte. Ltd. (the "JV"). In February 2022, the Company's board approved a series of transactions that ended the cross-shareholding agreement with Persol Holdings. On February 14, 2022, the Company repurchased 1,576,169 Class A and 1,475 Class B common shares held by Persol Holdings for $27.2 million. The purchase price was based on the average closing price of the last five business days prior to the transaction. The shares were subsequently retired and returned to an authorized, unissued status. In accordance with the Company's policy, the amount paid to repurchase the shares in excess of par value of $25.6 million was recorded to earnings invested in the business in the consolidated balance sheet at the time of the share retirement. On February 15, 2022, Kelly Services Japan, Inc. sold the investment in the common stock of Persol Holdings in an open-market transaction for proceeds of $196.9 million, net of transaction fees. As our investment was a noncontrolling interest in Persol Holdings, the investment was recorded at fair value based on the quoted market price of Persol Holdings stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange through the date of the transaction (see Fair Value Measurements footnote). The $67.2 million loss in the first quarter of 2022 recorded in gain (loss) on investment in Persol Holdings in the consolidated statements of earnings included $52.4 million for losses related to changes in fair value up to the date of the transaction and $14.8 million for the discount from the market price on the date of the sale and transaction costs. The gain on the investment of $35.5 million and $71.8 million in the third quarter and September year-to-date 2021, respectively, was recorded in gain (loss) on investment in Persol Holdings in the consolidated statements of earnings. Subsequent to the transaction discussed above, the Company commenced the dissolution process of its Kelly Services Japan, Inc. subsidiary, which was considered substantially liquidated as of first quarter-end 2022. As a result, the Company recognized a $20.4 million cumulative translation adjustment loss in the first quarter of 2022, which is recorded in loss on currency translation from liquidation of subsidiary in the consolidated statements of earnings. The Company also recognized a $5.5 million foreign exchange gain related to U.S.-denominated cash equivalents held by Kelly Services Japan, Inc. following the sale of the Persol Holdings shares and prior to a dividend payment to the Company in the first quarter of 2022. The foreign exchange gain is recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of earnings.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investment in PersolKelly Pte Ltd.	Investment in PersolKelly Pte. Ltd. Prior to February 2022, the Company had a 49% ownership interest in the JV (see Investment in Persol Holdings footnote above), a staffing services business operating in ten geographies in the Asia-Pacific region. On February 14, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to sell 95% of the Company's shares in the JV to Persol Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd. On March 1, 2022, the Company received cash proceeds of $119.5 million. The carrying value of the shares sold was $117.6 million. In addition, the Company had $1.9 million of accumulated other comprehensive income representing the Company's share of the JV's other comprehensive income over time related to the shares sold that was realized upon the sale, offsetting the $1.9 million gain that resulted from the proceeds in excess of the carrying value. The operating results of the Company’s interest in the JV were accounted for on a one-quarter lag under the equity method and were reported in equity in net earnings (loss) of affiliate in the consolidated statements of earnings through the date of the sale. Such amounts were earnings of $0.8 million in September year-to-date 2022, representing the results through the date of the sale, and earnings of $1.7 million and $2.3 million in the third quarter and September year-to-date 2021, respectively. After the sale, the Company has a 2.5% ownership interest in the JV and discontinued its use of equity method accounting. The remaining investment is accounted for as an equity investment without a readily determinable fair value (see Fair Value Measurements footnote). The equity investment, included in other assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, totaled $6.4 million as of third quarter-end 2022 and the investment in equity affiliate on the Company's consolidated balance sheet totaled $123.4 million as of year-end 2021.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Trade accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accrued payroll and related taxes approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables present assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of third quarter-end 2022 and year-end 2021 in the consolidated balance sheet by fair value hierarchy level, as described below. Level 1 measurements consist of unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 measurements include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 measurements include significant unobservable inputs.

The money market funds that are restricted as to use account for the majority of our restricted cash balance and represents cash balances that are required to be maintained to fund disability claims in California. The remaining money market funds as of third quarter-end 2022 and year-end 2021 are included in cash and equivalents in the consolidated balance sheet. The valuations of money market funds are based on quoted market prices of those accounts as of the respective period end. On February 15, 2022, Kelly Services Japan, Inc. sold the investment in the common stock of Persol Holdings in an open-market transaction. The valuation of the investment was based on the quoted market price of Persol Holdings stock on the Tokyo Stock Exchange as of year-end 2021, and the related changes in fair value were recorded in the consolidated statements of earnings (see Investment in Persol Holdings footnote). The cost of this yen-denominated investment, which fluctuated based on foreign exchange rates, was $18.0 million at year-end 2021. As of third quarter-end 2022, the Company had an indemnification liability totaling $3.3 million with $0.3 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $3.0 million in other long-term liabilities, and $2.4 million at year-end 2021, in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet related to the 2020 sale of the Brazil operations. As part of the sale, the Company agreed to indemnify the buyer for losses and costs incurred in connection with certain events or occurrences initiated within a six-year period after closing. The aggregate losses for which the Company will provide indemnification shall not exceed $8.8 million. The valuation of the indemnification liability was established using a discounted cash flow methodology based on probability weighted-average cash flows discounted by weighted-average cost of capital. The valuation, which represents the fair value, is considered a Level 3 liability, and is being measured on a recurring basis. During year-to-date 2022, the Company reassessed the value of the indemnification liability and determined that it was necessary to record an increase to the liability of $0.8 million. Additionally, during year-to-date 2022, the Company recognized an increase of $0.1 million to the indemnification liability related to exchange rate fluctuations in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of earnings. The Company recorded an earnout liability relating to the 2020 acquisition of Greenwood/Asher, totaling $3.2 million at third quarter-end 2022 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $4.6 million at year-end 2021 with $2.3 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $2.3 million in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. The initial valuation of the earnout liability was established using a Black Scholes model and represented the fair value and is considered a Level 3 liability. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company paid the year one portion of the earnout totaling $2.3 million. In the consolidated statements of cash flows, $0.7 million of the payment is reflected as a financing activity representing the initial fair value of the earnout, with the remainder flowing through operating activities. During year-to-date 2022, the Company reassessed the value of the earnout liability and determined it was necessary to record an increase to the liability of $0.9 million. The Company recorded an initial earnout liability relating to the 2022 acquisition of RocketPower, totaling $0.6 million, with $0.5 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities and $0.1 million in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet (see Acquisitions and Disposition footnote). The initial valuation of the earnout liability was established using a Black Scholes model and represented the fair value and was considered a Level 3 liability. In the third quarter of 2022, we reassessed the value of the earnout liability and determined that the fair value was zero. The maximum total cash payments which may be due related to the earnout liability is $31.8 million. Equity Investment Without Readily Determinable Fair Value On March 1, 2022, the Company sold the majority of its investment in the JV (see Investment in PersolKelly Pte. Ltd. footnote), with the remaining 2.5% interest now being measured using the measurement alternative for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value. The measurement alternative represents cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes. The sale of the shares of the JV represented an observable transaction requiring the Company to calculate the current fair value based on the purchase price of the shares, in which the resulting adjustment was not material. The investment totaled $6.4 million as of third quarter-end 2022, representing total cost plus observable price changes to date. Prior to April 2021, the Company had a minority investment in Business Talent Group, LLC, which was included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The investment was also measured using the measurement alternative for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value as described above. In the second quarter of 2021, BTG entered into a merger agreement which resulted in all of the Company's shares of BTG being automatically canceled upon approval of the merger and resulted in the receipt of $5.0 million in cash, which was equal to the carrying value and purchase price of the BTG investment. Prior to March 2021, the Company had a minority investment in Kenzie Academy Inc., which was included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. The investment was also measured using the measurement alternative for equity investments without a readily determinable fair value as described above. On March 8, 2021, Kenzie entered into a transaction to sell its assets. As of the date of the sale, the investment had a carrying value of $1.4 million, representing total cost plus observable price changes to date. In the first quarter of 2021, the asset was written down as a result of the sale and the loss of $1.4 million was recorded in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of earnings. Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis During the third quarter of 2022, customers within the high-tech industry vertical in which RocketPower specializes reduced or eliminated their full-time hiring, reducing demand for RocketPower’s services, and on-going economic uncertainty has more broadly impacted the growth in demand for RPO in the near-term. These changes in market conditions therefore caused a triggering event requiring an interim impairment test for both long-lived assets and goodwill. As a result of the long-lived asset recoverability test for RocketPower’s intangible assets, we determined that undiscounted future cash flows exceeded the carrying amount of the asset group and were recoverable. As a result of the quantitative assessment for goodwill, we determined that the estimated fair value of the RocketPower reporting unit no longer exceeded the carrying value, and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $30.7 million in the third quarter of 2022 (see Goodwill and Intangible Assets footnote).

Restructuring	Restructuring In the first quarter of 2022, the Company took restructuring actions designed to increase efficiency. There were no restructuring charges incurred in the second or third quarter of 2022 or September year-to-date 2021. Restructuring costs incurred in the first quarter of 2022 totaled $1.7 million and were recorded entirely in SG&A expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings, as detailed below (in millions of dollars): Severance Costs Lease Termination Costs Total Professional & Industrial $ 0.1 $ 0.2 $ 0.3 Education 0.4 — 0.4 Outsourcing & Consulting 0.2 — 0.2 Corporate 0.8 — 0.8 Total $ 1.5 $ 0.2 $ 1.7 A summary of the global restructuring balance sheet accrual, included in accrued payroll and related taxes and accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet, is detailed below (in millions of dollars): Balance as of year-end 2021 $ 2.9 Additions charged to Professional & Industrial 0.3 Additions charged to Outsourcing & Consulting 0.2 Additions charged to Education 0.4 Additions charged to Corporate 0.8 Reductions for cash payments related to all restructuring activities (2.0) Balance as of first quarter-end 2022 2.6 Reductions for cash payments related to all restructuring activities (1.1) Accrual adjustments (0.2) Balance as of second quarter-end 2022 1.3 Reductions for cash payments related to all restructuring activities (0.6) Balance as of third quarter-end 2022 $ 0.7 The remaining balance of $0.7 million as of third quarter-end 2022 primarily represents severance costs, and the majority is expected to be paid by year-end 2022. No material adjustments are expected to be recorded.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill as of September year-to-date 2022 are included in the table below: As of Additions to Goodwill Impairment Adjustments As of Third (In millions of dollars) Science, Engineering & Technology $ 111.3 $ — $ — $ 111.3 Education 3.5 36.3 — 39.8 Outsourcing & Consulting — 41.0 (30.7) 10.3 Total $ 114.8 $ 77.3 $ (30.7) $ 161.4 The goodwill resulting from the acquisition of RocketPower during the first quarter of 2022 was allocated to the OCG reportable segment. The goodwill resulting from the acquisition of PTS during the second quarter of 2022 was allocated to the Education reportable segment. (See Additions to Goodwill column in the table above and the Acquisitions and Disposition footnote for more details regarding each acquisition.) The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment testing in the fourth quarter each year and regularly assesses whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. We also perform a qualitative review on a quarterly basis of our long-lived assets, comprised of net property and equipment and definite-lived intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. During the third quarter of 2022, customers within the high-tech industry vertical in which RocketPower specializes reduced or eliminated their full-time hiring, reducing demand for RocketPower’s services, and on-going economic uncertainty has more broadly impacted the growth in demand for RPO in the near-term. These changes in market conditions therefore caused a triggering event requiring an interim impairment test for both long-lived assets and goodwill. RocketPower has definite-lived intangible assets, consisting of trades names, customer relationships and non-compete agreements, which are amortized over their estimated useful lives. We performed a long-lived asset recoverability test for RocketPower and determined that undiscounted future cash flows exceeded the carrying amount of the asset group and were recoverable. We performed an interim step one quantitative test for RocketPower’s goodwill and determined that the estimated fair value of the reporting unit no longer exceeded the carrying value. Based on the result of our interim goodwill impairment test as of third quarter 2022, we recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $30.7 million to write off a portion of RocketPower’s goodwill, with $10.3 million goodwill remaining in the OCG reportable segment as of third quarter-end 2022. (See Impairment Adjustments column in the table above.) In performing the step one quantitative test and consistent with our prior practice, we determined the fair value of the RocketPower reporting unit using the income approach. Under the income approach, estimated fair value is determined based on estimated future cash flows discounted by an estimated market participant 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 and reflects management’s outlook for the reporting unit. Assumptions and estimates about future cash flows and discount rates are complex and often subjective. Our analysis used the following significant assumptions: expected future revenue growth rates, profit margins and discount rate. If current expectations of future revenue and profit margins are not met, or if market factors outside of our control change significantly, including discount rate, and other market factors, then the remaining goodwill of the RocketPower reporting unit may be impaired in the future, resulting in additional goodwill impairment charges.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)	Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by component, net of tax, for the third quarter and September year-to-date 2022 and 2021 are included in the table below. Amounts in parentheses indicate debits. Third quarter 2022 reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to equity method investment and other, included $1.4 million related to the liquidation of the cumulative translation adjustment for the sale of our Russia operations, which was recorded in loss on disposal in the consolidated statements of earnings. (See Acquisitions and Disposition footnote for more details.)

Earnings (Loss) Per Share	Earnings (Loss) Per Share The reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share on common stock for the third quarter and September year-to-date 2022 and 2021 follows (in millions of dollars except per share data): Third Quarter September Year to Date 2022 2021 2022 2021 Net earnings (loss) $ (16.2) $ 34.8 $ (61.6) $ 84.4 Less: earnings allocated to participating securities — (0.4) — (0.8) Net earnings (loss) available to common shareholders $ (16.2) $ 34.4 $ (61.6) $ 83.6 Average shares outstanding (millions): Basic 37.9 39.4 38.2 39.4 Dilutive share awards — 0.1 — 0.1 Diluted 37.9 39.5 38.2 39.5 Basic earnings (loss) per share $ (0.43) $ 0.87 $ (1.62) $ 2.12 Diluted earnings (loss) per share $ (0.43) $ 0.87 $ (1.62) $ 2.12 Potentially dilutive shares outstanding are primarily related to deferred common stock related to the non-employee directors deferred compensation plan for the third quarter of 2021 and September year-to-date 2021. Due to our net loss in the third quarter of 2022 and September year-to-date 2022, potentially dilutive shares primarily related to deferred common stock associated with the non-employee directors deferred compensation plan of 0.2 million shares had an anti-dilutive effect on diluted earnings per share and were excluded from the computation for the third quarter of 2022 and September year-to-date 2022. Dividends paid per share for Class A and Class B common stock were $0.075 for the third quarter 2022, $0.20 for September year-to-date 2022 and $0.05 for the third quarter 2021 and September year-to-date 2021.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation For the third quarter of 2022, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $2.1 million and a related tax benefit of $0.3 million. For the third quarter of 2021, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $1.2 million and a related tax benefit of $0.2 million. For September year-to-date 2022, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $5.9 million and a related tax benefit of $0.8 million. For September year-to-date 2021, the Company recognized stock compensation expense of $4.0 million and a related tax benefit of $0.6 million. Performance Shares During the first quarter of 2022, the Company granted performance share awards associated with the Company’s Class A common stock to certain senior officers. The payment of performance share awards, which will be satisfied with the issuance of shares out of treasury stock, is contingent upon the achievement of specific revenue growth and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") margin performance goals ("financial measure performance share awards") over a stated period of time. The maximum number of performance shares that may be earned is 200% of the target shares originally granted. These awards have three one-year performance periods: 2022, 2023 and 2024, with the payout for each performance period based on separate financial measure goals that are set in February of each of the three performance periods. Earned shares during each performance period will cliff vest in February 2025 after approval of the financial results by the Compensation Committee, if not forfeited by the recipient. No dividends are paid on these performance shares. A summary of the status of all nonvested performance shares at target as of third quarter-end 2022 and year-to-date 2022 changes is presented as follows below (in thousands of shares except per share data). The vesting adjustment in the table below represents the 2019 and a portion of the 2021 financial measure performance shares that did not vest because actual achievement was below the threshold level and resulted in no payout.

Assets Held for Sale [Abstract]
Held for Sale	Held for SaleKelly Properties, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement on May 11, 2022 to sell real property located in Troy, Michigan. Accordingly, during the second quarter of 2022, the transaction met the criteria to classify the property as held for sale. The property held for sale includes the property and all improvements to the property, together with all rights and easements. Assets held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell, and depreciation is suspended on assets upon classification to held for sale. The carrying amount of the property held for sale as of third quarter-end 2022 is $4.7 million, which is less than the sales price in the purchase agreement, less estimated costs to sell. The Company has presented these assets as current assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet as of third quarter-end 2022. On October 31, 2022, the sale of the property was completed and the Company received proceeds of $5.6 million, net of commissions and transaction expenses.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes Income tax benefit was $5.0 million for the third quarter of 2022 and income tax expense was $11.1 million for the third quarter of 2021. Income tax benefit was $13.1 million for September year-to-date 2022 and income tax expense was $19.0 million for September year-to-date 2021. The third quarter and September year-to-date 2022 amounts were impacted by changes in earnings from operations and from non-taxable returns on life insurance policies. The second quarter of 2021 also benefited $5.2 million from a change in United Kingdom tax rates. Our tax expense is affected by recurring items, such as the amount of pretax income and its mix by jurisdiction, U.S. work opportunity credits and the change in cash surrender value of tax exempt investments in life insurance policies. It is also affected by discrete items that may occur in any given period but are not consistent from period to period, such as tax law changes, changes in judgment regarding the realizability of deferred tax assets, the tax effects of stock compensation and, prior to February 2022, changes in the fair value of the Company's investment in Persol Holdings, which were treated as discrete since they cannot be estimated. The Company provides valuation allowances 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.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Disclosures	Segment Disclosures The Company’s operating segments, which also represent its reporting segments, are based on the organizational structure for which financial results are regularly evaluated by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker ("CODM", the Company’s CEO) to determine resource allocation and assess performance. The Company’s five reportable segments, (1) Professional & Industrial, (2) Science, Engineering & Technology, (3) Education, (4) Outsourcing & Consulting, and (5) International, reflect the specialty services the Company provides to customers and represent how the business is organized internally. Intersegment revenue represents revenue earned between the reportable segments and is eliminated from total segment revenue from services. The following tables present information about the reported revenue from services and gross profit of the Company by reportable segment, along with a reconciliation to earnings (loss) before taxes and equity in net earnings (loss) of affiliate, for the third quarter and September year-to-date 2022 and 2021. Asset information by reportable segment is not presented, since the Company does not produce such information internally nor does it use such information to manage its business.

Accounting Standards Update and Change in Accounting Principle [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted In October 2021, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, to require that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. At the acquisition date, an acquirer should account for the related revenue contracts in accordance with Topic 606 as if it had originated the contracts. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years and should be applied prospectively to business combinations that occur after the effective date. We early adopted this standard in the first quarter of 2022 and the adoption did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments in this update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. ASU 2020-04 was effective for the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 which clarifies the interaction of rules for equity securities, the equity method of accounting, and forward contracts and purchase options on certain types of securities. The guidance clarifies how to account for the transition into and out of the equity method of accounting when considering observable transactions under the measurement alternative. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12 simplifying various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. The guidance removes exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim reporting periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. Not Yet Adopted Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
