Fiscal Year
Fiscal Periods
 
The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year. Fiscal periods for the consolidated financial statements included herein are as of June 25, 2017 and December 25, 2016, and include the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended June 25, 2017 and June 26, 2016
Reclassifications
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2016 financial statements to conform with the 2017 presentation.
Management Estimates
Management Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates affecting the financial statements include goodwill, intangible assets and contingent consideration obligations related to acquisitions. Additionally, the valuation of share based compensation option expense uses a model based upon interest rates, stock prices, maturity estimates, volatility and other factors. The Company believes these estimates and assumptions are reliable. However, these estimates and assumptions may change in the future based on actual experience as well as market conditions.
Financial Instruments
Financial Instruments
 
The Company uses fair value measurements in areas that include, but are not limited to: the allocation of purchase price consideration to tangible and identifiable intangible assets and contingent consideration. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, and other current assets and liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of the bank debt approximates fair value due to the variable nature of the interest rates under the credit agreement with Texas Capital Bank, National Association (“TCB”) that provides for a revolving credit facility and term loan and current rates available to the Company for debt with similar terms and risk.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
Cash and cash equivalents include all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts Receivable
 
The Company extends credit to its customers in the normal course of business. Accounts receivable represents unpaid balances due from customers. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for expected losses resulting from customers’ non-payment of balances due to the Company. The Company’s determination of the allowance for uncollectible amounts is based on management’s judgments and assumptions, including general economic conditions, portfolio composition, prior loss experience, evaluation of credit risk related to certain individual customers and the Company’s ongoing examination process. Receivables are written off after they are deemed to be uncollectible after all means of collection have been exhausted. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
Property and Equipment
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated net of accumulated depreciation and amortization of $1,085,485 and $1,301,295 at June 25, 2017 and December 25, 2016, respectively.
Deposits
Deposits
 
The Company maintains guaranteed costs policies for workers' compensation coverage in the states in which it operates, with minimal loss retention for employees in the commercial segment. Under these policies, the Company is required to maintain refundable deposits of $2,535,945 and $2,476,201, which are included in Deposits the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 25, 2017 and December 25, 2016, respectively.
Long-Lived Assets
Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews its long-lived assets, primarily fixed assets, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recovered. The Company looks primarily to the undiscounted future cash flows in its assessment of whether or not long-lived assets have been impaired. There were no impairments during Fiscal 2017 and Fiscal 2016.
Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets
 
The Company holds intangible assets with indefinite and finite lives. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives, ranging from three to five years, based on a pattern in which the economic benefit of the respective intangible asset is realized.

The Company capitalizes purchased software and internal payroll costs directly incurred in the modification of software for internal use. Software maintenance and training costs are expensed in the period incurred.

The Company annually evaluates the remaining useful lives of all intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization.
Goodwill
Goodwill
 
Goodwill is not amortized, but instead is evaluated at the reporting unit level for impairment annually at the end of each fiscal year, or more frequently, if conditions indicate an earlier review is necessary. If the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value for one or more reporting units is greater than their carrying value, the Company may use a qualitative assessment for the annual impairment test.
Deferred Rent
Deferred Rent
 
The Company recognizes rental expense on a straight-line basis over the life of the agreement. Deferred rent is recognized as the difference between cash payments and rent expense, including any landlord incentives.
Paid-in-kind Interest
Paid-in-kind Interest

The Company recorded paid-in-kind interest on a monthly basis to accrued interest. The first month following a quarter, the paid-in-kind accrued interest was reclassified to the related debt principal if not paid.

Deferred Financing Fees
Deferred Financing Fees
 
Deferred financing fees are amortized on the effective interest method over the term of the respective loans. Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability.
Contingent Consideration
Contingent Consideration

The Company has obligations, to be paid in cash, related to its acquisitions if certain future operating and financial goals are met. The fair value of this contingent consideration is determined using expected cash flows and present value technique. Prior to fiscal 2017, the calculation of the fair value of the expected future payments uses a discount rate that approximates the Company's weighted average cost of capital. For acquisitions beginning in fiscal 2017, based on new valuation methodology, the fair value calculation of the expected future payments which uses a discount rate that is commensurate with the risks of the expected cash flow. The resulting discount is amortized as interest expense over the outstanding period using the effective interest method.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company derives its revenues from three segments: Multifamily, Professional, and Commercial. The Company provides temporary staffing and permanent placement services. Revenues as presented on the consolidated statements of operations represent services rendered to customers less sales adjustments and allowances. Reimbursements, including those related to out-of-pocket expenses, are also included in revenues, and equivalent amounts of reimbursable expenses are included in cost of services.

The Company and its customers enter into agreements that outline the general terms and conditions of the staffing arrangement. Revenue is recognized as services are performed and associated costs have been incurred. The Company records revenue from services and the related direct costs on a gross basis in accordance with the accounting guidance on reporting revenue gross as a principal versus net as an agent.

Temporary staffing revenues - Our revenues are generated based on negotiated rates and invoiced on a per-hour basis. Accordingly, temporary staffing revenues are recognized on the hours worked when the services are rendered by the Company’s temporary workers.

Permanent placement staffing revenues - Permanent placement staffing revenues are recognized when employment candidates start their permanent employment. The Company estimates the effect of permanent placement candidates who do not remain with its customers through the guarantee period (generally 90 days) based on historical experience. Allowances are established to estimate these losses. Fees to customers are generally calculated as a percentage of the new worker’s annual compensation. No fees for permanent placement services are charged to employment candidates.
Share-based Compensation
Share-Based Compensation
 
The Company recognizes compensation expense in selling, general and administrative expenses over the service period for options that are expected to vest and records adjustments to compensation expense at the end of the service period if actual forfeitures differ from original estimates.
Earnings Per Share
Earnings Per Share
 
Basic earnings per common share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period adjusted to reflect potentially dilutive securities. Antidilutive shares are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes
 
The current provision for income taxes represents estimated amounts payable or refundable on tax returns filed or to be filed for the year. The Company recognizes any penalties when necessary as part of selling, general and administrative expenses. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded for the estimated future tax effects of temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and amounts are classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheets. Deferred tax assets are also recognized for net operating loss and tax credit carryovers. The overall change in deferred tax assets and liabilities for the period measures the deferred tax expense or benefit for the period. Effects of changes in enacted tax laws on deferred tax assets and liabilities are reflected as adjustments to tax expense in the period of enactment. 
 
When appropriate, we record a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets to offset future tax benefits that may not be realized. In determining whether a valuation allowance is appropriate, we consider whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized, based in part upon management’s judgments regarding future events and past operating results. 
 
The Company follows the guidance of Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 740, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. ASC Topic 740 prescribes a more-likely-than-not measurement methodology to reflect the financial statement impact of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. 

Income tax expense attributable to income from operations for 2017 differed from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes primarily as a result of state taxes.

Income tax expense attributable to income from operations for 2016 differed from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% to income before income taxes primarily as a result of state taxes and permanent differences related to share-based compensation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Updates ("ASU") ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Since May 2014, the FASB has issued additional and amended authoritative guidance regarding revenue from contracts with customers in order to clarify and improve the understanding of the implementation guidance. As amended, the new guidance requires a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration a company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption. Based on the progress to date, the Company does not believe the adoption of this accounting guidance will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-05, “Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement.” which provides more specific guidance related to how companies account for cloud computing costs. In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-19, “Technical Corrections and Improvements” to clarify guidance, correct errors and make minor improvements to the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) which amends ASC 350-40 to clarify that after ASU 2015-05 is adopted, companies are required to record an intangible asset for the license acquired in a software licensing arrangement. The asset for the software license is required to be recognized and measured at cost. The Company adopted both ASUs on a prospective basis in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 which did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification of related amounts within the statement of cash flows. The new standard was effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter of 2017. The Company adopted this ASU on a prospective basis which had no impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04 Intangibles-Goodwill and Other Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, which provides guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating the Step 2 procedure from the goodwill impairment test. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning with the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-04 will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Scope of Modification Accounting which provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The new standard is effective for the Company beginning with the first quarter 2018. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2017-09 will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
