Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as counsel to Interim Services Inc., a Delaware corporation
(the "Company"), in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") of 10,000 shares of
the Company's common stock par value $.01 per share, (the "Common Stock")
issuable under the Outside Directors' Compensation Plan (the "Plan") of Interim
Services Inc. Such shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Plan are
herein referred to as "the Shares." As such counsel we have examined and relied
upon originals or copies, certified or otherwise, identified to our satisfaction
of such corporate records, agreements, documents, instruments and certificates
of officers and representatives of the Company and have made such investigations
of law, as we deem necessary or appropriate in order to enable us to render the
opinion expressed below.

     Based upon the foregoing, and reliance thereon, we are of the opinion that
the Shares have been duly and validly authorized for issuance and will be, when
issued and delivered pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan,
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

     The opinion stated herein, is as of the date hereof, and we assume no
obligation to update or supplement this legal opinion to reflect any facts or
circumstances that may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law
that may hereafter occur. This legal opinion is limited to the matters stated
herein and no opinion is implied or may be inferred beyond the matters expressly
stated.

                                         BRYAN CAVE LLP
