INTERIM COMPLETES DIVESTMENT OF ITS HEALTHCARE DIVISION

               FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., September 29, 1997 - Interim Services 
Inc. (NYSE: IS) today announced it has completed the sale of its Interim 
HealthCare business to Cornerstone Equity Investors, based in New York, for 
$134 million.  As previously announced, Interim Services Inc. will use net 
proceeds to reduce debt. 

               Interim HealthCare is one of North America's largest providers 
of home nursing and other specialized health care services.

               Interim Services Inc. President and CEO Ray Marcy commented, 
"It is clear that the divestment of our HealthCare Division is in the best 
interest of our shareholders. With 100 percent concentration on our 
commercial operations, we anticipate accelerated growth opportunities for 
Interim moving forward. Furthermore, we believe shareholders will be 
rewarded, as the investment community better understands our unique human 
resource strategy and our leadership position in international professional 
services.

                "The future for Interim HealthCare, partnered with 
Cornerstone, appears to be very positive, as well. In an industry of high 
scrutiny, Interim HealthCare has a long history of financial viability and 
high clinical and ethical standards, which we expect will continue to propel 
it toward a leadership position," said Marcy.
