Item 1.01   Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

      On June 2, 2006, TeamStaff, Inc., and its wholly owned subsidiary,
BrightLane, Inc., executed a material definitive settlement agreement (the
"Settlement Agreement"), effective June 2, 2006 (the "Execution Date"), to
settle that certain legal action entitled Atomic Fusion, Inc. v. BrightLane,
Inc. pending in Fulton County, Georgia. Atomic Fusion filed a Complaint against
BrightLane.com in the Superior Court of Fulton, alleging claims arising out of a
vendor relationship between Atomic Fusion and BrightLane.com and Atomic Fusion's
subsequent status as a shareholder of BrightLane.com (hereinafter the
"Lawsuit"). On August 27, 2004, the court in the Lawsuit entered a Final
Judgment against BrightLane, which awarded Atomic Fusion $534,246.00 in damages
and $116,849.00 in attorneys' fees on its breach of contract claim (the
"Judgment"). The parties filed appeals, and the Atomic Fusion appeal is still
pending. BrightLane denied and continues to deny that it has any liability to
Atomic Fusion. TeamStaff, Inc. acquired BrightLane in a stock purchase
transaction in 2001 and has denied and continues to deny that it has any
liability to Atomic Fusion. TeamStaff believes that the Settlement Agreement is
in the best interests of its shareholders as it ends the on-going litigation
with certainty, and releases the Company from the obligations to continue to pay
ongoing and expensive legal fees. The Settlement Agreement fully and finally
settles the Judgment, the claims, allegations, appeals, charges, complaints or
potential legal action between and among Atomic Fusion, BrightLane and
TeamStaff. All charges related to the Settlement will be reflected as a charge
against discontinued operations.

The general terms of the Settlement are as follows:

1. Dismissal of Claims. Contemporaneously with payment of the Initial Payment
provided for in the Settlement Agreement (described below), Atomic fusion will
file a Dismissal with Prejudice in the Lawsuit and in the Georgia Court of
Appeals. The Dismissal will (a) Dismiss the Lawsuit, with prejudice; and (b)
dismiss all appeals by Plaintiff related to the Lawsuit, with prejudice.

2. Payment. TeamStaff shall pay to Atomic Fusion the aggregate sum of $550,000
(the "Settlement Proceeds") as follows: (a) Payment of $250,000.00 upon
execution (the "Initial Payment"); (b) Two equal payments of $150,000.00 (each,
a "Payment"), the first due on June 4, 2007 (the "2007 Payment Date") and the
second due on June 2, 2008 (the "2008 Payment Date") (hereinafter referred to as
the "Payments" or singularly with particularity, the "2007 Payment" and the
"2008 Payment"); (c) Atomic Fusion is granted contingent title to, and
possession of, 150,000 shares of TeamStaff stock (the "Shares") at $1.74 per
Share (the "Issue Price") to secure the unpaid portion of the Settlement
Proceeds of $300,000.00. TeamStaff will deliver the Shares within a reasonable
time following the Effective Date. Since the Shares must be released from
escrow, it is contemplated that the Shares will be delivered within forty-five
(45) days of the Execution Date; (d) At each Payment Date, Atomic Fusion has the
option to retain 75,000 Shares at the Issue Price (TeamStaff liable for the
difference of $19,500, in cash payable on each Payment Date), or to request that
TeamStaff make the respective Payment, whereupon Atomic Fusion will convey the
Shares back to TeamStaff (each, an "Election"); (e) The amount of Shares to
which the 2007 Payment Election applies is 75,000 Shares. The amount of Shares
to which the 2008 Payment Election applies is 75,000 Shares. Atomic Fusion must
give notice of intention at least ten (10) days prior to each Payment Date
whether Atomic Fusion will retain the Shares, or request the Payment and
repurchase of the Shares by TeamStaff. If no notice is given, Atomic Fusion will
be deemed to have elected the Payment, whereupon TeamStaff will make, and Atomic
Fusion will receive, the Payment, and Atomic Fusion will immediately convey the
Shares to TeamStaff. Once made, the Election is irrevocable; (f) The Shares are
subject to a stock purchase agreement and a lockup agreement and will not be
tradable during the Restricted Period (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreement)
unless there is a default in Payment of the Settlement Proceeds (a "Default").
If there is a Default, Atomic Fusion can, with seventy-two (72) business hours
notice and opportunity to cure, accelerate the entire indebtedness (without
further proceeding) and take all right, title and interest in and to the Shares
at the then-current market price, subject to SEC Rule 144. In the event of such
a Default and Atomic Fusion taking the stock upon the occurrence of such a
Default, TeamStaff shall be liable for any deficiency between the then-current
market price and any Payment due (giving full credit for any Payment made and/or
consideration reflected by retention of Shares at the Issue Price); (g) Atomic
Fusion agrees to be bound under the provisions of SEC Rule 144 (as to time
restrictions as well as volume




restrictions on sale). The SEC Rule 144 holding period will commence when the
Lock-Up Agreement expires; and (h) The Parties will obtain written consent of
their respective Boards of Directors. The Initial Payment is due within
seventy-two (72) business hours after both Parties exchange executed Board
resolutions, provided, however, that the Initial Payment will not be made later
than June 12, 2006. The Shares referred to above were placed in escrow by the
former shareholders of BrightLane for the purposes of indemnification, and were
part of the consideration given to the BrightLane Shareholders pursuant to the
original merger agreement with TeamStaff, effective August 31, 2001.

A copy of the form of Settlement Agreement and all Exhibits (including the Stock
Purchase Agreement and Lock-Up Agreement) is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this
filing.
