Divestiture [Abstract] |
Divestiture | Divestitures In November 2016, the Company completed the sale of its Consumer Health Spending Account ("CHSA") and Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act ("COBRA") businesses for a pre-tax gain of $205.4 million, and recorded such gain within Other income, net on the Statements of Consolidated Earnings. The historical results of operations of these businesses are included in the Employer Services segment. The Company determined that the CHSA and COBRA divestitures did not meet the criteria for reporting discontinued operations under ASU 2014-08 as the disposition of these businesses does not represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on the Company's operations or financial results.
