Commitments and Contingencies [Abstract]

16.	Commitments and Contingencies

Per ASC 450 Contingencies, we review potential items and areas where a loss contingency could arise. In the opinion of management, we are not a party to any legal proceeding, the outcome of which, in management's opinion, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. Legal defense costs are expensed as incurred.

Joyce v. Absolute Consulting, Inc.

On March 29, 2019, a former employee of Absolute Consulting, Inc., filed a putative class action against Absolute and us in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland (case number 1:19 cv 00868 RDB). The lawsuit alleged the plaintiff was not properly compensated for overtime hours worked. We have been dismissed from the case, but Absolute remains a party and continues to deny allegations and defend this litigation with GSE’s assistance. In July 2020, mediation occurred between Absolute and the plaintiff, at which the parties reached a tentative understanding but not yet a final settlement or conclusion (see Note 17). The parties will continue to work together to finalize a settlement based on the terms of their understanding, which will then be presented for approval to the court. We are unable to conclude regarding the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome or if this matter is remote or probable.
