incurred for business travel, communications, entertainment and meals in
connection with the performance of Executive's duties under this Agreement in
accordance with the Company's established policies for reimbursement of business
expenses.  The Company expects Executive to attend and participate in continuing
education seminars and courses with respect to the staffing industry and
business management related to his duties, and the Company will reimburse all
ordinary and necessary expenses of such attendance and participation including
but not limited to the cost and expense associated with maintaining his
Certified Public Accountant license (including meeting continuing professional
education requirements) and membership in the Financial Executives Institute.
Such continuing education courses and seminars will be scheduled in conjunction
with the other officers of the Company to assure coordination of schedules.  The
Company shall also pay the cost of a reserved parking space at the Company's

     Section 1.6  Stock Options.  Upon the Effective Date, the Company shall

date of grant, as to 30,000 shares on December 31, 1998, and as to 50,000 shares
on each of December 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. The Options shall be
evidenced by one or more separate Stock Option Agreements having the terms
described above and otherwise having terms that are comparable to option awards
to other senior management personnel of the Company and its subsidiaries. During
the term of this Agreement, Executive will be granted additional options to
acquire common stock of the Company based on his performance, in a manner
comparable to the award of options to other senior management personnel of the
Company and its subsidiaries.

                                   ARTICLE II
                             COVENANTS OF EXECUTIVE
                                        
     Section 2.1  Confidentiality.  Executive recognizes the interest of the
                  ---------------                                           
Company in maintaining the confidential nature of its proprietary and other
business and commercial information.  In connection therewith, Executive
covenants that during the term of his employment with Company under this
Agreement, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Executive shall not,
directly or indirectly, except as authorized by the Board of Directors, publish,
disclose or use for his own benefit or for the benefit of a business or entity
(other than the Company) or otherwise, any secret or confidential matter, or
proprietary or other information not in the public domain that was acquired by
Executive during his employment, relating to the Company's, or any of its
subsidiaries' businesses, operations, customers, suppliers, products, employees,
financial affairs or industry practices, technology, know-how or intellectual
property or other similar information (the "Proprietary Information").  If and
to the extent that Proprietary Information also is a Trade Secret (as defined
under applicable law), the time limit provided in Section 2.5 shall apply to the
disclosure of such Proprietary Information.

     Executive will abide by the Company's policies and regulations, as
established from time to time, for the protection of its Proprietary
Information.  Executive acknowledges that all records, files, data, documents
and the like relating to suppliers, customers, costs, prices, systems, methods,
personnel, technology and other materials relating to the Company or its
affiliated entities shall be and remain the sole property of the Company and/or
such affiliated entity and shall, upon the request of the Company, turn over all
copies of such Proprietary Information to the Company (together with a written
statement certifying as to his compliance with the foregoing).

     Section 2.2  Non-Solicitation of Customers.  During the term of Executive's
                  -----------------------------                                 
employment with the Company, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter,
Executive shall not directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries
or otherwise, solicit or attempt to solicit Customers, to induce or encourage
them to acquire or obtain from anyone other than the Company, service
competitive with or substitute for any Company Service.  For purposes of this
Section 2.5, a "Customer" refers to any person or group of persons with whom
Employee has direct material contact during his employment with regard to
selling, delivery or support of Company Services, including servicing such
person's or group's account, during the period of two (2) years preceding
termination of Employee's employment; and "Company Services" refers 

                                      -3-
<PAGE>
 
to the services that the Company offered or sold within six (6) months prior to
the date of termination of Employee's employment.

     Section 2.3  Non-Compete.  During the term of Executive's employment with
                  -----------                                                 
the Company, and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, Executive shall not,
without the prior written consent of the Board of Directors, which consent may
be withheld at the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, engage or
participate in, as a business executive or equity owner of any business or
enterprise that directly competes in the Restricted Area with any line of
business in which (i) the Company was engaged at the time of termination of
Executive's employment with the Company and (ii) Executive was materially
involved with regard to the selling, delivery or support of services within such
line of business; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.3 shall
prohibit Executive from acquiring or holding, for investment purposes only, less
than five percent (5%) of the outstanding publicly traded securities of any
corporation which may compete directly or indirectly with the Company.  For
purposes of this Section 2.3, the "Restricted Area" shall be the area that is
within a thirty (30) mile radius of the city of Atlanta, or such other city in
which the Company maintains an office at which Executive is located on the date
of termination of Executive's employment with the Company.

     Section 2.4  Non-Solicitation of Employees.  During the term of his
                  -----------------------------                         
employment with the Company, and for a period of one (1) year thereafter,
Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries
or otherwise, employ, induce, solicit for employment, or assist others in
employing, inducing or soliciting for employment any individual who is at any
time during such period an employee of the Company for the purpose of providing
services that are the same or similar to the types of services offered or
engaged in by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

     Section 2.5  Trade Secrets.  Executive shall not, at any time, either
                  -------------                                           
during the term of his employment or after any termination of employment, use or
disclose any Trade Secrets (as defined under applicable law) of the Company, or
any of its subsidiaries, except in fulfillment of his duties as Executive during
his employment, for so long as the pertinent information or data remain Trade
Secrets, whether or not the Trade Secrets are in written or tangible form.

     Section 2.6  Consideration.  Executive acknowledges that his agreement to
                  -------------                                               
the covenants provided in this Article II constitutes a major portion of the
consideration for the entry by the Company into this Agreement, and that the
Company's covenants under this Agreement are of direct and material benefit to
Executive and are good consideration for the covenants given herein.  As
additional consideration for Executive's covenants as set forth in this Article
II, the Company shall pay to Executive the amount of $200,000, payable monthly
over the two-year period following Executive's termination of employment (the
"Covenant Fee"); provided, however, that the Covenant Fee will not be payable if
Executive is terminated for Cause (as defined below) or Executive resigns
without Good Reason (as defined below); and provided further that the obligation
to pay the Covenant Fee shall abate in the event Executive is found to be in
violation of any of the covenants set forth in this Article II.  If at any time
prior to a Change in Control, Executive gives written notice of his probable
intention to terminate employment 

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
during the first 90 days after such Change in Control, the entire amount of the
Covenant Fee shall be deposited into escrow immediately prior to the Change in
Control. If Executive in fact terminates his employment during such 90-day
period, the escrowed funds will be paid to Executive over time, as provided in
this Section 2.6. If Executive does not terminate his employment during such 90-
day period, the escrowed funds will be released to the Company at the end of
such 90-day period, without prejudice to the Company's obligation to pay the
Covenant Fee when and if it later becomes due under Section 2.6. Any interest
earned on the escrowed funds during escrow will be paid to the Company.

     Executive acknowledges that the Company has a present and future
expectation of business within the geographic areas served by the Company and
from the present and proposed customers of the Company.  Executive acknowledges
the reasonableness of the term, geographic area and scope of the covenants set
forth in this Agreement, and agrees that he will not, in any action, suit or
other proceeding, deny the reasonableness of, or assert the unreasonableness of,
the premises, consideration or scope of the covenants set forth herein.
Executive further acknowledges that complying with the provisions contained in
this Agreement will not preclude him from engaging in a lawful profession, trade
or business, or from becoming gainfully employed.

                                  ARTICLE III
                           TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT
                                        
     Section 3.1  Termination by Company.  Executive's employment may be
                  ----------------------                                
terminated by the Company pursuant to this Section 3.1, by giving notice during
the term of this Agreement.

         (a) Executive's employment shall terminate automatically upon
Executive's death or upon notice from the Chief Executive Officer in the event
of any disability which renders Executive incapable of performing his duties for
more than one hundred twenty (120) calendar days (termination under this Section
3.1(a) shall be deemed termination without Cause);

         (b) The Company may terminate Executive's employment without Cause (as
defined below) at any time following a determination by the Board of Directors
to terminate Executive's employment (termination under this Section 3.1(b) shall
be deemed termination without Cause); or

         (c) The Company may terminate Executive's employment Cause. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Cause" shall mean that Executive shall have:

             (i) committed an intentional act of fraud, embezzlement or theft in
connection with his duties or in the course of his employment with the Company
which has a material adverse effect upon the Company;

             (ii) inflicted intentional wrongful material damage to any material
asset of the Company or to the Company;

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
             (iii) intentionally and wrongfully violates Article II of this
Agreement, which violation has a material adverse effect upon the Company;

             (iv) been convicted of a felony or any similar crime carrying a
prison term of at least one year (regardless of whether imprisonment is actually
imposed);

             (v) a habitual and debilitating use of alcohol or drugs; or

             (vi) failed to meet performance expectations which are reasonable
and consistent with Executive's position, as determined by the Company's Chief
Executive Officer, provided, however, that in the event of this subsection (vi)
                   --------                                                    
being the sole reason for termination for Cause, Executive shall have the cure
provisions and rights provided for in Section 3.1(d) hereof.

         (d) In the event of a determination by the Company's Chief Executive
Officer that Executive has failed to meet performance expectations, the Company
shall furnish to Executive in writing a notice of proposed termination setting
forth a specific statement of the deficiencies in his performance.  Executive
shall then have a period of ninety (90) days after the giving of such written
notice of proposed termination by the Company in which to attempt to effect a
cure of the specified deficiencies.  If at the end of such ninety (90) day
period no such cure has been effected to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Chief Executive Officer of the Company or if Executive shall not have already
resigned for Good Reason (if applicable) as provided in Section 3.2, then
Executive's employment shall be terminated as of the end of such ninety (90) day
period.  The Company shall be obligated to provide to Executive only one such
notice of proposed termination, and if subsequent to effecting a cure of
specified deficiencies Executive is determined by the Chief Executive Officer to
have again failed to meet performance expectations, then his employment may be
terminated immediately upon the Company's giving of notice of termination to
Executive which specifies his deficiencies in performance.

     Section 3.2  Good Reason.  Executive's employment may be terminated by
                  -----------                                              
Executive for Good Reason or no reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, "Good
Reason" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

         (a) a material breach by the Company of any material provision of this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, without the written consent of
Executive, (i) the assignment to Executive of any duties inconsistent with
Executive's position in the Company or (ii) a material adverse alteration in the
nature or status of Executive's responsibilities (including status, offices,
titles and reporting requirements); unless such events are fully corrected
within thirty (30) days following written notification by Executive to the
Company that he intends to terminate his employment hereunder for one of the
reasons set forth in this Section 3.2(a); or

         (b) the Company's requiring the Executive to be based anywhere other
than the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area; or

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
         (c) any termination of the Executive's employment by the Company other
than for Cause, death or disability; or

         (d) the occurrence of a "Change in Control" as defined below.

For purposes of this Agreement a "Change in Control" shall mean an event as a
result of which: (i) any "person" (as such term is used in Sections 13(d) and
14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange At")), is or becomes
the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, except
that a person shall be deemed to have "beneficial ownership" of all securities
that such person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable
immediately or only after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of more
than 30% of the total voting power of the voting stock of the Company; (ii) the
Company consolidates with, or merges with or into another corporation or sells,
assigns, conveys, transfers, leases or otherwise disposes of all or
substantially all of its assets to any person or any corporation consolidates
with, or merges with or into, the Company, in any such event pursuant to a
transaction in which the outstanding voting stock of the Company is changed into
or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, other than any such
transaction where (A) the outstanding voting stock of the Company is changed
into or exchanged for (x) voting stock of the surviving or transferee
corporation or (y) cash, securities (whether or not including voting stock) or
other property, and (B) the holders of the voting stock of the Company
immediately prior to such transaction own, directly or indirectly, not less than
70% of the voting power of the voting stock of the surviving corporation
immediately after such transaction; or (iii) individuals who at the date hereof
constitute the Board of the Company (together with any new directors whose
election by such Board or whose nomination for election by the stockholders of
the Company was approved by a vote of 66-2/3% of the directors then still in
office who were directors at the date hereof or whose election or nomination for
election was previously so approved) ceased for any reason to constitute a
majority of the Board of the Company then in office; or (iv) the Company is
liquidated or dissolved or adopts a plan of liquidation.

     Section 3.3  Severance.  For purposes of this Agreement, Executive's
                  ---------                                              
entitlement to any severance payments upon termination of his employment shall
be as set forth below:

         (a) Termination Without Cause; Resignation for Good Reason. If
             ------------------------------------------------------
Executive is terminated without Cause or resigns for Good Reason at any time
during the term of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Executive in a
lump sum in cash within 30 days after the date of termination severance pay of a
lump sum equal to three times the sum of (i) his Base Salary then in effect,
plus (ii) the amount of Executive's Annual Bonus for the year prior to the year
in which such termination occurred, or, if such termination occurs during the
1998, Executive's minimum bonus for 1998. If at any time prior to a Change in
Control, the Executive gives written notice of his probable intention to
terminate employment during the first 90 days after such Change in Control,
there shall be deposited into escrow immediately prior to the Change in Control
the cash amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to Section 3.3(a) of this
Agreement. If the Executive in fact terminates his employment during such 90-day
period, the escrowed funds will be released to him at that time. If he does not
terminate his employment during such 90-day period, the 

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
escrowed funds will be released to the Company at the end of such 90-day period,
without prejudice to the Company's obligation to pay such amounts when and if
they later become due under Section 3.3(a). Any interest earned on the escrowed
funds during escrow will be paid to the Company.

         (b) Voluntary Termination.  Executive shall not be entitled to any
             ---------------------                                         
severance pay if he voluntarily resigns other than for Good Reason, unless such
severance pay is approved by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company in his
sole discretion.  Executive shall provide a minimum of thirty (30) days prior
notice to the Chief Executive Officer of his resignation.  In the event
Executive shall provide thirty (30) days prior written notice of his intent to
resign, the Company may accept such resignation effective as of any date during
such thirty (30) day period as the Company deems appropriate, provided that
Executive shall receive from the Company his Base Salary and be entitled to
participate at the Company's expense in any Company-sponsored benefit programs
in which he was a participant as of the effective date of his resignation for
the duration of such thirty (30) day period.

         (c) For Cause.  Executive shall not be entitled to any severance pay
             ---------
whatsoever if his employment is terminated for Cause pursuant to Section 3.1(c)
of this Agreement, unless severance pay is approved by the Chief Executive
Officer of the Company in his sole discretion, provided, however, that Executive
shall receive any Base Salary that is accrued but unpaid up to the date of such
termination for Cause.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if termination
is for Cause pursuant to Section 3.1(c)(vi), and is other than pursuant to a
Change in Control, then Executive shall be entitled to severance equal to his
Base Salary for the remainder of the then-current term of this Agreement, or
equal to one year's Base Salary at his then-current rate, whichever is greater.

     Section 3.4  Limitation of Benefits.
                  ---------------------- 

         (a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event it shall be determined that any benefit, payment or distribution by the
Company to or for the benefit of Executive (whether payable or distributable
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise) (such benefits, payments
or distributions are hereinafter referred to as "Payments") would, if paid, be
subject to the excise tax (the "Excise Tax") imposed by Section 4999 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), then the aggregate
present value of the Payments shall be reduced (but not below zero) to an amount
expressed in present value that maximizes the aggregate present value of the
Payments without causing the Payments or any part thereof to be subject to the
Excise Tax and therefore nondeductible by the Company because of Section 280G of
the Code (the "Reduced Amount"). For purposes of this Section 3.4, present value
shall be determined in accordance with Section 280G(d)(4) of the Code. In the
event, after the exhaustion of all remedies, it is necessary to reduce the
Payments, the Executive shall direct which Payments are to be modified or
reduced, and the difference between the Payments and the Reduced Amount shall be
treated for all purposes as a loan to Executive, which Executive shall

repay to the Company together with interest at the applicable Federal rate
provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

         (b) All determinations required to be made under this Section 3.4,
including whether an Excise Tax would otherwise be imposed, whether the Payments
shall be reduced, the amount of the Reduced Amount, and the assumptions to be
utilized in arriving at such determinations, shall be made by Arthur Andersen
LLP or such other certified public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to the
Company as may be designated by Executive (the "Accounting Firm") which shall
provide detailed supporting calculations both to the Company and Executive
within 15 business days of the receipt of notice from Executive that a Payment
is due to be made, or such earlier time as is requested by the Company. All fees
and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company. Any
determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and
Executive. As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Section 4999 of
the Code at the time of the initial determination by the Accounting Firm
hereunder, it is possible that Payments hereunder will have been unnecessarily
limited by this Section 3.4 ("Underpayment"), consistent with the calculations
required to be made hereunder. The Accounting Firm shall determine the amount of
the Underpayment that has occurred and any such Underpayment shall be promptly
paid by the Company to or for the benefit of Executive together with interest at
the applicable Federal rate provided for in Section 7872(f)(2) of the Code.

     Section 4.1  Withholding of Taxes.  The Company may withhold from any
                  --------------------                                    
amounts payable under this Agreement all federal, state, city or other taxes and
withholdings as shall be required pursuant to any applicable law, rule or
regulation.

     Section 4.2  Notice.  For purposes of this Agreement, all communications
                  ------                                                     
including, without limitation, notices, consents, requests or approvals,
provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
given when personally delivered or five (5) business days after having been
mailed by United States registered mail or certified mail, return receipt
requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company (to the attention of the
Secretary of the Company) at its principal executive office or to Executive at
his principal residence, or to such other address as any party may have
furnished to the other in writing and in accordance herewith, except the notices
of change of address shall be effective only upon receipt.

     Section 4.3  Validity; Severability.  The covenants set forth in this
                  ----------------------                                  
Agreement are and shall be deemed and construed as separate and independent
covenants.  It is not the intent of any party hereto to violate any public
policy of any jurisdiction in which this Agreement may be enforced.  If any
term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, or the application
thereof to any person or circumstance, shall to any extent be held invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction because its duration, the
territory and/or the restricted activities are invalid or unreasonable in scope,
(i) each such term, covenant or provision of this Agreement 

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be
reformed to the extent (and only to the extent) necessary to make it valid,
enforceable and legal taking into consideration the reasonable concerns and
needs of the Company's business interests such that the intent of the Company,
in consummating the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, will not be
impaired, provided that such invalid or unenforceable term, covenant, condition
or provision shall be curtailed, limited or eliminated only to the extent
necessary to remove such invalidity or unenforceability with respect to the
applicable law as it shall then be applied, and (ii) the remainder of this
Agreement or the application of such term, covenant, condition or provision to
persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or
unenforceable shall not be affected thereby.

     Section 4.4  Remedies.  The restrictions contained in Article II of this
                  --------                                                   
Agreement are considered by the parties hereto to be fair and reasonable and
necessary for the protection of the legitimate business interests of the
Company. It is recognized that damages in the event of breach of the provisions
of this Agreement by Executive would be difficult, if not impossible, to
ascertain, and it is therefore agreed that the Company, in addition to and
without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, shall have the right to
an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction,
enjoining any such breach. The existence of this right shall not preclude any
other rights and remedies at law or in equity which the Company may have. Any
violation of the restrictions contained in Article II of this Agreement shall
automatically toll and suspend the period of restraint for the amount of time
that the violation continues, provided that the Company seeks enforcement of
such restraint promptly after discovery of the violation. Executive agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company from and against any loss, damage,
liability, cost or expense, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys
fees, suffered or incurred by the Company as and when incurred, by reason of, or
arising out of, any breach of the covenants contained in this Agreement.

     Section 4.5  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement supersedes any other
                  ----------------                                      
agreements, oral or written, between the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and contains all of the agreements and understandings between the
parties with respect to the employment of Executive by the Company.  Any waiver
or modification of any term of this Agreement shall be effective only if it is
set forth in a writing signed by both parties hereto.

     Section 4.6  Successors and Binding Agreement.
                  -------------------------------- 

         (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Company and any Successor of or to the Company, but shall not otherwise be
assignable or delegable by the Company. "Successor" shall mean any successor in
interest, including, without limitation, any entity, individual or group of
persons acquiring directly or indirectly all or substantially all of the
business or assets of the Company, as the case may be, whether by sale, merger,
consolidation, reorganization or otherwise.

                                      -10-

         (b) The Company shall require any Successor to agree at the time of
becoming a Successor to perform this Agreement to the same extent as the
original parties would be required if no succession had occurred.

         (c) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
Executive's personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, heirs,
distributes and legatees.

         (d) This Agreement is personal in nature and neither of the parties
shall, without the consent of the other, assign, transfer or delegate this
Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in
this Section 4.6.

     Section 4.7  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and
                  -------------                                           
construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia
without regard to the choice of law rules utilized in that jurisdiction.

     Section 4.8  Captions.  The captions in this Agreement are solely for
                  --------                                                
convenience of reference and shall not be given any effect in the construction
or interpretation of this Agreement.

     Section 4.9  Miscellaneous.  No provisions of this Agreement may be
                  -------------                                         
modified, waived or discharged unless such waiver, modification or discharge is
agreed to in a writing signed by Executive and the Company.  No waiver by a
party hereto at any time of any breach by another party hereto or compliance
with any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed by such other
party shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provision or conditions
at the same or at any prior or subsequent time.  Failure by the Company to
insist upon strict compliance with any of the terms, covenants or conditions
hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such term, covenant or condition,
nor shall any relinquishment of any right of power hereunder by the Company any
one or more times be deemed a waiver or relinquishment of such right or power by
the Company at any other time or times.

     Section 4.10  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more
                   ------------                                                
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which
together will constitute one and the same Agreement.
