Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block]

NOTE

5

 – Net Sales:

For our Uniforms and Related Products and Promotional Products segments, revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished products to customers. Revenue for our Uniforms and Related Products and Promotional Products segments is recognized when the performance obligations under the contract terms are satisfied. For certain contracts with customers in which the Company has an enforceable right to payment for goods with

no

alternative use, revenue is recognized over time upon receipt of finished goods into inventory. Revenue for goods that do have an alternative use or that the customer is

not

obligated to purchase under the terms of a contract is generally recognized when the goods are transferred to the customer. The Company includes shipping and handling fees billable to customers in net sales. Shipping and handling activities that occur after the transfer of promised goods are accrued as control is transferred to the customer rather than being treated as a separate performance obligation.

For our Remote Staffing segment, revenue is generated from providing our customers with staffing solution services. Revenue for our Remote Staffing segment is recognized as services are delivered. 

Revenue is measured at the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for the goods or services. Variable consideration for estimated returns and allowances is recorded based upon historical experience and current allowance programs. Contract termination terms

may

involve variable consideration clauses such as sales discounts and customer rebates, and revenue is adjusted accordingly for these provisions. The promised amount of consideration in a contract is

not

adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect, at contract inception, that the period between our transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that product or service will be

one

year or less. Sales taxes are excluded from the measurement of a performance obligation’s transaction price. Sales commissions are expensed as incurred when we expect that the amortization period of such costs will be

one

year or less.
