         This  Amendment  No. 1 to the Report on Form 13G is being filed jointly
by the Brody Family  Investments  Limited  Partnership (the  "Partnership")  and
Marvin D. Brody ("Mr.  Brody") relating to the ownership by them in excess of 5%
of the  outstanding  shares of Common  Stock of Employee  Solutions,  Inc.  (the
"Issuer").  Mr. Brody came to have ownership of Issuer Common Stock in excess of
5% of the  outstanding  shares prior to the Issuer's  August 1993 initial public
offering.  The Partnership is a family  partnership,  of which Mr. Brody and Dr.
Nancy P. Brody ("Dr. Brody"),  his spouse, are the general partners.  Certain of
Mr. Brody's assets were transferred to the Partnership, but are deemed to remain
beneficially owned by Mr. Brody as a result of his shared voting and dispositive
power over assets held by the Partnership.

         Mr. Brody has previously reported his ownership, as well as that of Dr.
Brody and the Partnership, of Issuer Common Stock ("Issuer Common") on his Forms
3, 4 and 5; the Partnership has separately filed during periods when it owned in
excess of 10% of the  outstanding  Issuer  Common.  In  addition,  Mr. Brody has
disclosed his (and Dr. Brody's and the Partnership's) ownership of Issuer Common
to the Issuer;  in turn,  that ownership has been reported in the Issuer's proxy
statements  and  reports on Form 10-K.  This filing is being made to address the
independent  filing  obligations under Section 13(g) of the Securities  Exchange
Act of 1934 of this previously reported ownership.

         The Partnership  previously reported its holdings of Issuer Common on a
Schedule 13G filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission on February 10,
1994. This Amendment adds Mr. Brody as a filing person at December 31, 1993, and
provides ownership information at subsequent year ends.

         Mr. and Dr. Brody each disclaim  beneficial  ownership of the shares of
Issuer Common held by the other as their individual property; however, shares so
owned by Dr. Brody are included in Mr. Brody's  ownership  reported  herein.  In
addition, each of Mr. and Dr. Brody disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares
held by, or for the benefit of, their  emancipated  adult daughters  (other than
those in the Partnership). Therefore, the daughters' shares (other than those in
the Partnership) are not included herein.

                (ii)    shared power to vote or to direct the vote: -0-

       At December 31, 1993, by Mr. Brody:

       (a)      Amount beneficially owned:  993,415 shares (A)(B)

       (b)      Percent of Class:  27.2%  (based  upon the  3,359,810  shares of
                Issuer Common  reported as outstanding by the Issuer on December
                31, 1993)

       (c)      Number of shares as to which such person has:

                (i)     sole power to vote or to direct the vote: -0-

                (ii)    shared power to vote or to direct the vote:

                (iii)   sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:

                (iv)    shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of:
                         993,415 (A)(B)

                (A)     Includes  shares owned by the  Partnership.  At December
                        31, 1993, the Partnership owned 194,424 shares of Issuer
                        Preferred,  each of which was convertible into one share
                        of Issuer Common after December 31, 1994, depending upon
                        issuer earnings in fiscal 1994.  (Because those earnings
                        were ultimately achieved, the shares were converted into
                        Issuer  Common in April 1995.)  Because such shares were
                        not   convertible  at  December  31,  1993,   beneficial
                        ownership is disclaimed,  but the  underlying  shares of
                        Issuer Common are included herein.

                (B)     Includes  224,150  shares of Issuer Common  beneficially
                        owned by Dr.  Brody,  as to which  Mr.  Brody  disclaims
                        beneficial ownership. Dr. Brody's shares include 100,817
                        shares  of  Issuer  Common  underlying  shares of Issuer
                        Preferred owned by Dr. Brody.  See note (A). Dr. Brody's
                        shares do not include  shares owned by the  Partnership.

                (C)     Includes  shares owned by the  Partnership.  At December
                        31, 1994, the Partnership owned 194,424 shares of Issuer
                        Preferred,  each of which was convertible into one share
                        of Issuer Common after December 31, 1994, depending upon
                        issuer earnings in fiscal 1994.  (Because those earnings

                        Common in April 1995.)

                (D)     Includes  224,150  shares of Issuer Common  beneficially
