Contingencies 
In the ordinary course of business, the Company is continuously engaged in litigation, threatened ligation, or investigations arising in the ordinary course of its business, such as matters alleging employment discrimination, wage and hour violations, or violations of privacy rights or anti-competition regulations, which could result in a material adverse outcome. There are matters that were stayed pending a decision from the United States Supreme Court in the matter of Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis, regarding the enforceability of class action waivers in favor of arbitration. On May 21, 2018, the Court determined that class action waivers in employment contracts are enforceable.  As a result of the ruling, the lower courts have begun the process of ordering arbitration and determining what additional steps are necessary. We are still assessing how the recent Supreme Court ruling affects our overall litigation strategy. We record accruals for loss contingencies when we believe it is probable that liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Such accruals are recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. While the ultimate outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that the resolution of any such proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
