On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates including those related to derivatives and hedging activities, income taxes including the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, self-insurance reserves, litigation reserves, restructuring reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, and valuation of goodwill, long-lived and intangible assets. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"> In the </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">year ended December 31, 2012</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">, the Company recorded a change in estimate which resulted in a decrease of $4.6 million to employee related expenses in connection with an authoritative ruling in Spain related to the legally required cost of living adjustment for employees' salaries for the year 2010, 2011 and 2012.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt'> </p>

Historically, the losses related to credit risk have been immaterial. The Company regularly monitors its credit risk to mitigate the possibility of current and future exposures resulting in a loss. The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of its clients prior to entering into an agreement to provide services and as necessary through the life of the client relationship. The Company does not believe it is exposed to more than a nominal amount of credit risk in its derivative hedging activities, as the Company diversifies its activities across six well-capitalized, investment-grade financial institutions.</font></p><p style='margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:8pt'> </p>

	us-gaap	Line Of Credit Facility Description LineOfCreditFacilityDescription	The Credit Agreement provides for a secured revolving credit facility that matures on June 3, 2018 with an initial maximum aggregate commitment of $700.0 million. At the Company’s discretion, direct borrowing options under the Credit Agreement include (i) Eurodollar loans with one, two, three, and six month terms, and/or (ii) overnight base rate loans. The Credit Agreement also provides for a sub-limit for loans or letters of credit in both U.S. dollars and certain foreign currencies, with direct foreign subsidiary borrowing capabilities up to 50% of the total commitment amount. The Company may increase the maximum aggregate commitment under the Credit Agreement to $1.0 billion if certain conditions are satisfied, including that the Company is not in default under the Credit Agreement at the time of the increase and that the Company obtains the commitment of the lenders participating in the increase. Base rate loans bear interest at a rate equal to the greatest of (i) Wells Fargo’s prime rate, (ii) one half of 1% in excess of the federal funds effective rate, and (iii) 1.25% in excess of the one month London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), in each case adding a margin based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. Eurodollar loans bear interest based upon LIBOR, plus a margin based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. Alternate loans bear interest at rates applicable to their respective currencies. Letter of credit fees are one eighth of 1% of the stated amount of the letter of credit on the date of issuance, renewal or amendment, plus an annual fee equal to the borrowing margin for Eurodollar loans. Commitment fees are payable to the Lenders in an amount equal to the unused portion of the credit facility and are based upon the Company’s leverage ratio. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by certain of the Company’s present and future domestic subsidiaries. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement and the related guarantees are secured by security interests (subject to permitted liens) in the U.S. accounts receivable and cash of the Company and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and may be secured by tangible assets of the Company and such domestic subsidiaries if borrowings by foreign subsidiaries exceed $100.0 million and the leverage ratio is greater than 3.00 to 1.00. The Company also pledged 65% of the voting stock and 100% of the non-voting stock of certain of the Company’s material foreign subsidiaries and may pledge 65% of the voting stock and 100% of the non-voting stock of the Company’s other foreign subsidiaries.
