Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Data
Segment Data

We report our segment information in accordance with the provisions of ASC 280, Segment Reporting.

Our current reportable segments are (i) North American Staffing and (ii) International Staffing. The non-reportable businesses are combined and disclosed with corporate services under the category Corporate and Other.

The Company sold the quality assurance business from within the Technology Outsourcing Services and Solutions segment on October 27, 2017 leaving the Company's call center services as the remaining activity within that segment. The Company has renamed the operating segment Volt Customer Care Solutions and its results are now reported as part of the Corporate and Other category, as it does not meet the criteria for a reportable segment under ASC 280, Segment Reporting. To provide period over period comparability, the Company has recast the prior period Technology Outsourcing Services and Solutions segment data to conform to the current presentation within the Corporate and Other category in the prior period. This change did not have any impact on the consolidated financial results for any period presented. In addition, Corporate and Other also included our previously owned Maintech business in the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

Segment operating income (loss) is comprised of segment net revenue less cost of services, selling, administrative and other operating costs, and restructuring and severance costs. The Company allocates to the segments all operating costs except for costs not directly related to the operating activities such as corporate-wide general and administrative costs. These costs are not allocated because doing so would not enhance the understanding of segment operating performance and are not used by management to measure segment performance.

Financial data concerning the Company’s segment revenue and operating income (loss) as well as results from Corporate and Other are summarized in the following tables (in thousands):
