ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         On July 2, 1999, Interim Services Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Interim"), Interim Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Interim ("Sub"), and Norrell Corporation, a Georgia
corporation ("Norrell"), completed the merger (the "Merger") of Norrell with and
into Sub. Under the terms of the Merger, the shareholders of Norrell received in
exchange for each share of Norrell's common stock either 0.9 share of Interim's
common stock or a cash payment of $18.7622. The holders of approximately 12% of
Norrell's common stock elected to receive the cash payment. Accordingly, Interim
issued approximately 21 million shares of Interim's common stock to former
Norrell shareholders and converted existing options to purchase Norrell common
stock into options to purchase approximately 1.7 million shares of Interim
common stock. The value of the transaction based upon the closing price of
Interim common stock on June 30th is approximately $625 million. The combined
company is traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "IS."

         The Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") by and among
Interim, Sub and Norrell dated March 24, 1999 was filed as an exhibit to
Interim's Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 24, 1999. Amendments to the
Merger Agreement dated April 27, 1999 and May 24, 1999 were filed as exhibits to
Interim's Registration Statement on Form S-4, File No. 333-79191 (the "S-4
Registration Statement"), which amendments are incorporated herein by reference.

         A copy of the press releases issued by Interim and Norrell on July 1,
1999 announcing shareholder approval of the Merger and on July 6, 1999
announcing completion of the Merger are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and
99.2, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

         On July 1, 1999, the Board of Directors and shareholders of Interim
approved amendments to Interim's Restated Certificate of Incorporation to (i)
increase the number of Interim's authorized shares of common stock from
100,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares and (ii) delete the requirement of the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least two-thirds of Interim's outstanding
common stock to amend, modify, alter or repeal any provision of Interim's
By-laws. These amendments became effective on July 6, 1999. A copy of the
Certificates of Amendment to Interim's Restated Certificate of Incorporation
providing for the foregoing amendments are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and
Exhibit 3.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.

         On July 2, 1999, Guy W. Millner, formerly the principal shareholder and
a member of the Board of Directors of Norrell, was appointed to Interim's Board
of Directors, to serve until Interim's 2001 annual meeting of shareholders or
until his successor shall have been duly elected and qualified. Mr. Millner
filled an existing vacancy on Interim's Board of Directors.

          INTERIM SERVICES INC. AND NORRELL CORPORATION MERGER APPROVED

           COMBINED $4 BILLION COMPANY POISED FOR GLOBAL LEADERSHIP IN
                            HUMAN CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

         FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., and ATLANTA, Georgia, July 1, 1999 -- Interim
Services Inc. (NYSE: IS) and Norrell Corporation (NYSE: NRL), two of the world's
leading staffing and workforce consulting companies, today announced shareholder
approval of the merger of Norrell with Interim. The merger is expected to close
effective 5:00 p.m. July 2, 1999. The combined company will be traded on the
NYSE under the symbol "IS" beginning July 6, 1999.

         "Our shareholders have overwhelmingly approved this merger which
capitalizes upon the strength of the two best competitors in the staffing
industry and positions the Company for global leadership in the human capital
management arena," said Ray Marcy, president, CEO and chairman of Interim
Services Inc. "In addition, we have already made significant strides in
integrating the two companies, including the realignment of the combined $2
billion Commercial Staffing organization which will be headquartered in Atlanta.
We will continue the integration process and we look forward to the substantial
synergies that are anticipated to result."

         According to the merger agreement, shareholders of Norrell will receive
either 0.9 shares of Interim common stock or a cash payment of $18.7622. The
holders of approximately 12% of Norrell's common stock elected to receive cash
in lieu of Interim stock. Therefore, Interim will issue approximately 21 million
shares to former Norrell shareholders and convert existing Norrell stock options
into options to purchase approximately 1.7 million shares of Interim common
stock. The value of the transaction based upon the closing price of Interim
stock on June 30, 1999, and debt assumed is approximately $625 million.

         The company will operate through approximately 1,350 offices throughout
North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, with 1999 proforma revenues of
approximately $4 billion in 1999. It provides flexible staffing, consulting,
search/recruitment, managed services and outsourcing services. The Company is a
leading provider worldwide in the areas of accounting, information technology,
legal, human resources, sales and marketing, as well as administrative, clerical
and light industrial services.
