Assets Held for Sale [Abstract] |
Assets Held for Sale | Assets Held for SaleUpon approval of the Company's board of directors, Kelly Properties, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement on December 4, 2019 to sell three headquarters properties in Troy, Michigan. Accordingly, during the fourth quarter of 2019, the transaction met the criteria to classify the properties as held for sale. The properties held for sale included the parcels of land, together with all rights and easements, in addition to all improvements located on the land, including buildings. 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 combined net carrying amount of the properties held for sale as of year-end 2019 was $21.2 million, which was less than the sales price in the purchase agreement, less costs to sell. The Company presented these assets as current assets held for sale on the consolidated balance sheet as of year-end 2019, and the properties were sold in the first quarter of 2020 per terms of the purchase agreement. The main headquarters building included in the sale was leased back (see Sale of Assets footnote).
