(1) Cost of services are those costs directly associated with the earning of revenue. The primary examples of these types of costs are temporary employee wages, along with other employee related costs, including associated payroll taxes, temporary employee benefits, such as service bonus and holiday pay and health insurance, and workers’ compensation costs. These costs differ fundamentally from SG&A expenses in that they arise specifically from the action of providing our services to customers whereas SG&A costs are incurred regardless of whether or not we place temporary employees with our customers.
(2) Direct salaries refers to the compensation expenses for employees directly related to the Company’s operations and service delivery. These expenses include salaries, related payroll taxes, various benefits and performance-based incentives and bonuses for these employees.
(3) For each reportable segment, the other segment expense category includes:
P&I - Shared services costs for IT, human resources, legal and finance support, facilities and equipment-related costs, other professional services and overhead expenses, and operational software licenses.
SET - Shared services costs for IT, human resources, legal and finance support, other professional services and overhead expenses, facilities and equipment-related costs, and operational software licenses.
EDU - Shared services costs for IT, human resources, legal and finance support, other professional services and overhead expenses, facilities and equipment-related costs, and operational software licenses.
OCG - Shared services costs for IT, human resources, legal and finance support, other professional services and overhead expenses, operational software licenses, and facilities and equipment-related costs.
