Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Consulting, Employment and Non-compete Agreements

The Company has entered into various consulting and employment agreements with certain key members of management. These agreements generally (i) are one year in length, (ii) contain restrictive covenants, (iii) under certain circumstances, provide for compensation and, subject to providing the Company with a release, severance payments, and (iv) are automatically renewed annually unless either party gives sufficient notice of termination.

Litigation and Complaints

The Company is subject, from time to time, to various claims, lawsuits, contracts disputes and other complaints from, for example, clients, candidates, suppliers, landlords for both leased and subleased properties, former and current employees, and regulators or tax authorities arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company routinely monitors claims such as these, and records provisions for losses when the claim becomes probable and the amount due is estimable. Although the outcome of these claims cannot be determined, the Company believes that the final resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

For matters that have reached the threshold of probable and estimable, the Company has established reserves for legal, regulatory and other contingent liabilities. The Company’s reserves were $157 and $109 as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Potential Costs Associated with Termination

In 2015, the Company incurred compensation and benefits obligations to its former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Manuel Marquez, under his employment agreement in connection with the Company providing Mr. Marquez notice of non-renewal of his employment agreement, which is treated as a termination of his employment without cause, subject to his execution of a release. The Company has accrued $747 as of March 31, 2016 in connection with compensation and benefits Mr. Marquez is entitled to upon a termination without cause. Mr. Marquez does not agree with this treatment of compensation and benefits under his employment agreement and, on August 13, 2015, filed an arbitration claim against the Company for additional amounts of up to approximately $2,000 and reimbursement of his legal fees. The Company does not agree with Mr. Marquez’s interpretation of the employment agreement and is vigorously defending against such claim for additional amounts. The Company expects the arbitrator will issue his decision on Mr. Marquez’s claim during the second quarter of 2016.

Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company has certain asset retirement obligations that are primarily the result of legal obligations for the removal of leasehold improvements and restoration of premises to their original condition upon termination of leases. The asset retirement obligations are included under the caption "Other non-current liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s asset retirement obligations that are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were as follows:
