Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;

Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain

Officers.

Effective May 1, 2021, Kelly Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), amended and restated its Senior Executive Severance Plan (as so amended and restated, the "Senior Executive Severance Plan"), which had originally been adopted in March 2017.

All eleven of the Company's executive officers based in the United States are now covered by the Senior Executive Severance Plan. Previously, eight of the executive officers had been covered by the Company's General Severance Plan. These executive officers now participate at a new Tier 3 level of severance benefits under the Senior Executive Severance Plan.

The Senior Executive Severance Plan also incorporates certain changes to the existing plan, including (i) an expansion of the "good reason" termination definition to cover the vesting of long-term incentive compensation grants following a change-in-control transaction, (ii) the addition of an exception to entitlement to severance benefits in the case of business unit heads who are offered the opportunity to continue to be employed by their business unit on comparable terms under new ownership, (iii) the addition of a claw-back of severance benefits paid if an event providing the Company with the right to terminate an executive's employment for "cause" is identified following termination of the executive's employment, (iv) the removal of certain provisions relating to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, which are no longer applicable, (v) the addition of an exception to executives' "good reason" termination rights in the case of across-the-board temporary reductions in base salary and (vi) dispute resolution through binding arbitration, in order to align with changes made in the Company's General Severance Plan in 2020.

The foregoing description of the Senior Executive Severance Plan contained in Item 5.02 of this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Senior Executive Severance Plan attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
