Employment obligations The Company has employment agreements with certain employees that provide for payment of base salary for up to a one year period in the event their employment with the Company is terminated in certain circumstances, including following a change in control, as further defined in the agreements. The Company incurred certain severance and other costs in 2016 and throughout 2017 related to its ongoing initiatives to increase the flexibility of its cost structure and integrate Provant that were recorded in selling, general, and administrative expenses, and at June 30, 2017, the Company recorded a $0.3 million liability related to these initiatives in other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. Legal contingencies and obligations The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various claims and other legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, the Company has legal defenses and/or insurance coverage (subject to deductibles) with respect to all of its pending legal actions. If management believes that a material loss not covered by insurance arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company may record the amount of the estimated loss or, if a loss cannot be estimated but the minimum liability may be estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another, the Company may record the minimum estimated liability. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of all pending legal actions, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position that is inconsistent with its loss reserves or on its overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes can occur that exceed any amounts reserved for such losses. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods. On August 5, 2016, the Company agreed to a settlement of $0.45 million related to a lawsuit involving the former Portamedic service line for which the Company retained liability, that was subsequently paid during the three months ended June 30, 2017. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had recorded a liability of $0.45 million related to this matter in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. An expense of $0.15 million recorded during the six month period ended June 30, 2016, was included in the discontinued operations line item on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The claim was not covered by insurance, and the Company incurred legal costs to defend the litigation which are also recorded in discontinued operations during the six month period ended June 30, 2016. There were no such costs incurred during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017. Prior to the Company’s merger with Provant, Provant settled a lawsuit filed in California state court in which a former employee claimed that Provant failed to follow specific requirements under California wage and hour laws and regulations. Under the settlement agreement, Provant agreed to pay the plaintiff approximately $0.75 million, a portion of which was covered by Provant’s insurance, by March 2018. The uninsured balance of $0.7 million has been accrued in other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017.
