Item 8.01.
Other Events.
On July 26, 2007 the French Senate passed an amendment to social security legislation, which is expected to be effective October 1, 2007. This amendment would eliminate the payroll tax benefit resulting from the revised calculation discussed in the previously issued Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Manpower Inc. (the Company) on April 27, 2007.
This legislative change would not impact the Companys previously issued second quarter 2007 earnings, or earnings guidance for the third quarter, which includes an estimated benefit from the reduced payroll taxes of 14 cents per diluted share. However, beginning with the fourth quarter, the Companys earnings would no longer be favorably impacted by the lower payroll tax calculation.
