Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt In January 2016, the Company amended its $150.0 million Financing Program with PNC to (1) extend the termination date to January 31, 2017; (2) eliminate the interest coverage ratio and modify the liquidity level requirement; (3) reduce the minimum funding threshold, as defined, from 60% to 40%; and (4) revise pricing from a LIBOR based rate plus 1.75% per the prior agreement, to a LIBOR based rate plus 1.90% on outstanding borrowings, and to increase the facility fee from 0.65% to 0.70%. The Financing Program is secured by receivables from certain Staffing Services businesses in the United States, Europe and Canada that are sold to a wholly-owned, consolidated, bankruptcy remote subsidiary. The bankruptcy remote subsidiary's sole business consists of the purchase of the receivables and subsequent granting of a security interest to PNC under the program, and its assets are available first to satisfy obligations to PNC and are not available to pay creditors of the Company's other legal entities. Borrowing capacity under the Financing Program is directly impacted by the level of accounts receivable. At May 1, 2016, the accounts receivable borrowing base was $147.1 million. As of November 1, 2015, the Financing Program was classified as long-term debt on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, however, as of the end of the Company's first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Financing Program was classified as short-term as the termination date is within twelve months of the Company’s first quarter of fiscal 2016 balance sheet date. In addition to customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, the program is subject to a minimum liquidity covenant which increased under the aforementioned amendment from $20.0 million in cash and cash equivalents and borrowing availability under the Financing Program, to $35.0 million effective January 31, 2016, which increases to $50.0 million effective July 31, 2016. The program is subject to termination under standard events of default including change of control, failure to pay principal or interest, breach of the liquidity covenant, triggering of portfolio ratio limits, or other material adverse events as defined. As of May 1, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all debt covenant requirements. The Financing Program has a feature under which the facility limit can be increased from $150.0 million up to $250.0 million subject to credit approval from PNC. Borrowings are priced based upon a fixed program rate plus the daily adjusted one-month LIBOR index, as defined. The program also contains a revolving credit provision under which proceeds can be drawn for a definitive tranche period of 30, 60, 90 or 180 days priced at the adjusted LIBOR index rate in effect for that period. In addition to United States dollars, drawings can be denominated in Canadian dollars, subject to a Canadian dollar $30.0 million limit, and British Pounds Sterling, subject to a £20.0 million limit. The program also includes a letter of credit sublimit of $50.0 million and minimum borrowing requirements. As of May 1, 2016, there were no foreign currency denominated borrowings, and the letter of credit participation was $31.0 million inclusive of $28.9 million for the Company's casualty insurance program and $2.1 million for the security deposit required under the Orange facility lease agreement. At May 1, 2016 and November 1, 2015, the Company had outstanding borrowing under this program of $90.0 million and $100.0 million, respectively, and bore a weighted average annual interest rate of 2.3% and 1.8% during the second quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 2.2% and 1.7% during the first six months of fiscal 2016 and 2015, respectively, which is inclusive of all facility fees. At May 1, 2016, there was $26.1 million additional availability under this program. In February 2016, Maintech, Incorporated, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as borrower, entered into a $10.0 million 364-day secured revolving credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A. The credit agreement provides for revolving loans as well as a $0.1 million sub-line for letters of credit and is subject to borrowing base and availability restrictions and requirements. The credit agreement is secured by assets of the borrower, including accounts receivable, and the Company has guaranteed the obligations of the borrower under the agreement not to exceed $3.0 million. The credit agreement contains certain customary representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants, including minimum interest on $2.0 million which was the outstanding amount under this facility at May 1, 2016. At May 1, 2016, there was $3.1 million additional availability under this program. The borrower may optionally terminate the credit agreement and repay the borrowings prior to the expiration date, without premium or penalty at any time by the delivery of a notice to that effect as provided under the credit agreement. It is anticipated that the credit agreement will be terminated before a sale of the borrower. Borrowings will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes. Interest under the credit agreement is one month LIBOR plus 2.75% on drawn amounts and a fixed rate of 0.375% on undrawn amounts. In February 2016, Volt Orangeca Real Estate Corp., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a PSA for the sale of real property comprised of land and buildings with office space of approximately 191,000 square feet in Orange, California (the “Property”) for a purchase price of $35.9 million. The transaction closed in March 2016 with terms consistent with the PSA and the mortgage on the Property was repaid. At November 1, 2015, the Company had $7.3 million of a long-term term loan on this Property, of which $1.0 million was current at the period end date.
