Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
Benefit Plans Committee
Kelly Retirement Plus
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits of Kelly Retirement Plus (the “Plan”) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Plan is not required to have nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets of the Plan as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 and the changes in net assets for the year ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held at end of year as of December 31, 2010 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the Plan’s management. This supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

1.   Plan Description
The following description of Kelly Retirement Plus (the “Plan”) provides only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan agreement for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.
General
The Plan provides benefits to eligible employees according to the provisions of the Plan Document. All eligible employees, as defined by the Plan, are eligible to participate upon hire and attainment of age 18. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).
Contributions
Participants may contribute a percentage of eligible earnings, as defined in the Plan, of no less than 2% and no more than 50%, up to the current IRS maximums (sixteen thousand five hundred dollars in 2010) to the Plan each year. Participants who have attained age 50 before the end of the Plan year are eligible to make catch-up contributions not to exceed five thousand five hundred dollars in 2010. The employer contribution consists of two parts: Employer Discretionary Contributions, under which Kelly Services, Inc. (the “Company”) may make a discretionary contribution on behalf of all participants in an amount to be determined by the Company and Employer Matching Contributions, whereby the Company matches employees’ contributions using a predetermined formula. The Company made a discretionary contribution to the Plan for 2010 that represented 0.5% of participants’ eligible wages for the year and totaled $796. The Company suspended the Employer Matching Contributions during 2010. Effective January 1, 2011, the Company re-instated the Employer Matching Contributions at $.50 per dollar of participant contribution up to 4% of eligible pay. Employer contributions are allocated in the same manner as participant contributions.
Participant Accounts
Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contribution, the Company’s matching contribution, an allocation of the Company’s discretionary contribution, an allocation of investment earnings and an allocation of administrative expenses. Earnings are allocated by fund based on the ratio of a participant’s account invested in a particular fund to all participants’ investments in that fund. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested account.
Plan Administration
The Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company. This committee is composed of the Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, the Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary and the Senior Vice President, Global Human Resources and serves at the pleasure of the Board.
Investment Options
All contributions are invested by JPMorgan Trust Company, N.A. (the “Trustee”) as directed by the participant among any of the investment options offered by the Plan.

1.   Plan Description (continued)
Vesting and Benefits
Beginning with the 2007 Employer Discretionary Contributions, participants become fully vested upon attainment of age sixty-five or completion of three years of service, whichever occurs first. All Previous Employer Discretionary Contributions become fully vested upon attainment of age sixty-five or completion of five years of service, whichever occurs first. Participants become fully vested in Employer Matching Contributions upon attainment of age sixty-five or completion of three years of service, whichever comes first. The first year of service begins at the later of age 18 or date of hire. Participant contributions are 100% vested immediately.
The value of the vested portion of participants’ accounts is payable to the participant upon retirement, total and permanent disability, death or termination of employment in a lump-sum distribution. If the vested portion of a participant’s account exceeds one thousand dollars (or such other amount to be prescribed in Treasury regulations), the participant may defer receipt of the distribution until any time prior to or upon attaining age 70-1/2. Vested accounts with balances of one thousand dollars or less are paid in an immediate lump-sum distribution.
Participant Forfeitures
Pursuant to the Plan agreement, participant forfeitures can be used by the Plan to (1) restore the participant’s account in the event of rehire or (2) reduce the Employer Discretionary Contribution or Employer Matching Contribution. The Plan Administrator offset the Employer Discretionary Contribution with forfeitures aggregating $41 for the year ended December 31, 2010.
In-Service Withdrawals
Participants may request in-service distributions anytime after the attainment of age 59 1/2 or if experiencing a hardship as defined by the IRS under Safe Harbor Rules.
Participant Notes Receivable
The Plan, as currently designed, does not allow participants to borrow from their accounts.
Reclassification of Prior Year Amounts
Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current presentation, including the aggregation of investments in the Investments and Fair Value notes.
2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Practices
Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates
The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 962, Plan Accounting — Defined Contribution Pension Plans, requires the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits present the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The related activity is presented at contract value in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and changes therein, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Principles and Practices (continued)
Investment Valuation and Income Recognition
Plan investments are stated at fair value as of the last day of the Plan year, except for the common collective trust fund that primarily invests in benefit-responsive investment contracts (commonly referred to as a stable value fund), which is valued at contract value. Contract value represents investments at cost plus accrued interest income less amounts withdrawn to pay benefits. The fair value of the stable value common collective trust fund is based on discounting the related cash flows of the underlying guaranteed investment contracts based on current yields of similar instruments with comparable durations. The Plan’s mutual fund investments are valued based on quoted market prices. The Kelly Stock Fund is valued at the unit price, as determined by the Trustee, which represents the fair value of the underlying investments. The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets, the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Contributions
Participant contributions are recorded in the period during which the Company makes payroll deductions from the Plan participants’ earnings; Employer Matching Contributions are recorded in the same period. Employer Discretionary Contributions are recorded in the period during which they were earned. Administrative expenses incurred shall be paid by the Plan to the extent not paid by the Company.
Payment of Benefits
Benefits are recorded when paid.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan provides for various investment options in mutual funds that hold stocks, bonds, fixed income securities and other investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near term, and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
Subsequent Events
The Plan has evaluated subsequent events through June 24, 2011 which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Level 1 measurements consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 measurements include quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 measurements include significant unobservable inputs. The Plan’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair value measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

4.   Fair Value (continued)
The Plan also holds other assets not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including contributions receivable. The fair value of these assets is equal to the carrying amounts in the accompanying financial statements due to the short maturity of such instruments.
5.   Priorities on Plan Termination
Although the Company has not expressed any intent to do so, in the event of termination of the Plan, the accounts of all participants shall become fully vested and shall be distributed to the members simultaneously with all participants receiving full value of their accounts on the date of such distribution.

7.   Federal Income Tax Status
The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) has determined that the Plan, as amended and restated effective January 1, 2009, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).
8.   Party-in-Interest Transactions
A portion of the Plan’s investments is held in mutual funds and collective funds sponsored by the Trustee and all investment transactions are conducted through the Trustee. All transactions with the Trustee are considered party-in-interest transactions; however, these transactions are not considered prohibited transactions under ERISA.
The Company is also a party-in-interest. Certain administrative expenses of the Plan, including salaries, are paid by the Company and qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The Plan also invests in common stock of the Company.
