Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | Note L - Commitments and Contingencies Employment Agreements Kforce has employment agreements with certain executives that provide for certain post-employment benefits under certain circumstances. At June 30, 2023, our liability would be approximately $40.3 million if, following a change in control, all of the executives under contract were terminated without cause by the employer or if the executives resigned for good reason, and $17.4 million if, in the absence of a change in control, all of the executives under contract were terminated by Kforce without cause or if the executives resigned for good reason. Litigation We are involved in legal proceedings, claims, and administrative matters that arise in the ordinary course of business, and we have made accruals with respect to certain of these matters, where appropriate, that are reflected in our consolidated financial statements but are not, individually or in the aggregate, considered material. For other matters for which an accrual has not been made, we have not yet determined that a loss is probable, or the amount of loss cannot be reasonably estimated. The outcome of any litigation is inherently uncertain, but we do not expect that these proceedings and claims, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements; however, if decided adversely to us, or if we determine that settlement of particular litigation is appropriate, we may be subject to additional liabilities that could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Kforce maintains liability insurance that insures us against workers’ compensation, personal and bodily injury, property damage, directors’ and officers’ liability, errors and omissions, cyber liability, employment practices liability and fidelity losses. There can be no assurance that Kforce’s liability insurance will cover all events or that the limits of coverage will be sufficient to fully cover all liabilities. As previously reported, on December 17, 2019, Kforce Inc., et al., was served with a complaint brought in Superior Court of the State of California, Alameda County. Kathleen Wahrer, et al. v. Kforce Inc., et al., Case Number: RG19047269. The former employee purports to bring a representative action on her own behalf and on behalf of other allegedly aggrieved employees pursuant to the California Private Attorneys General Act of 2004, California Labor Code Section 2968, et seq. (“PAGA”) alleging violations of the California Labor Code, §201, et seq. (“Labor Code”). The plaintiff seeks civil penalties, interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs under the Labor Code for alleged failure to: provide and pay for work performed during meal and rest periods; properly calculate and pay all earned minimum and overtime wages; provide compliant wage statements; timely pay wages during employment and upon termination; and reimburse business expenses. At this stage in the litigation, it is not feasible to predict the outcome of this matter or reasonably estimate a range of loss, should a loss occur, from this proceeding. As previously reported, on November 18, 2020, Kforce Inc., et al. was served with a complaint brought in the Superior Court of the State of California, San Diego County, which was subsequently amended on January 21, 2021, to add Kforce Flexible Solutions as a party. Bernardo Buchsbaum, et al. v. Kforce Inc., et al., Case Number: 37-2020-00030994-CU-OE-CTL. The Court entered a written order granting final approval of the parties’ settlement agreement in March 2023, and the case has been dismissed. This matter did not have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. As previously reported, on December 24, 2020, a complaint was filed against Kforce Inc., et al. in Superior Court of the State of California, Los Angeles County. Sydney Elliott-Brand, et al. v. Kforce Inc., et al., Case Number: 20STCV49193. On January 7, 2022, the lawsuit was amended to add Bernardo Buchsbaum and Josie Meister as plaintiffs and to add claims under PAGA and the Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. §§ 201, et seq. The Court entered a written order granting final approval of the parties’ settlement agreement in March 2023, and the matter is considered closed. This matter did not have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. As previously reported, on December 11, 2020, a complaint was filed against Kforce and its client, Verity Health System of California (“Verity”) in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, which was subsequently amended on February 19, 2021. Ramona Webb v. Kforce Flexible Solutions, LLC, et al., Case Number: 20STCV47529. The Court dismissed the representative PAGA action in May 2023, and the American Arbitration Association closed its file on Webb’s individual claims in June 2023. This matter did not have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
