Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
     
(e)    On June 21, 2017, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of On Assignment, Inc. (the “Company”) unanimously approved the On Assignment, Inc. Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) effective as of June 1, 2017. Under the Plan, a select group of management or highly compensated employees of the Company and its subsidiaries as designated by the Company, including the Company’s named executive officers, may participate in the Plan to defer receipt of their cash compensation, including up to 75 percent of their salaries and 100 percent of their bonuses. Amounts contributed to the Plan will not be subject to federal or state income taxes until these amounts are ultimately distributed to the participants of the Plan. These amounts will, however, be subject to employment taxes at the time at which such amounts are earned.

The Plan is operated in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Participant elections with respect to deferrals of compensation and distributions must generally be made in the year preceding that in which the compensation is earned, except that elections with respect to performance-based bonuses may be made as late as six months prior to the end of the applicable performance period (June 30th in the case of a calendar-year performance period).  In addition, newly eligible Participants may be able to make deferrals elections for their salaries up to 30 days after they first become eligible to participate in the Plan, if later than the end of the year preceding that in which such deferred amounts will be earned.  Participants may only change existing elections with respect to distributions if they satisfy certain requirements set forth in the Plan, including that they do so no later than 12 months prior to the first scheduled distribution and that they extend their deferral elections by at least five years.

Participants will be permitted to allocate (and reallocate) their deferrals and any notional earnings on their deferrals, amongst various investment alternatives made available by the Plan administrator for purposes of determining any notional gains or losses on Participant account balances.  These allocations will be hypothetical only and will not give Participants ownership interest in any actual assets of the Company or any trust funding obligations under the Plan, however, the Company may set aside assets to fund its obligations under the Plan in a limited (“rabbi”) trust, subject to the claims of the Company’s creditors in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

Participants may elect to receive distributions of their accounts: (i) while still in the service of the Company, in either a lump sum or in two to 10 annual installments occurring (or beginning) no earlier than two years after such amounts were earned; or (ii) upon a separation from service, in a lump sum or up to 10 annual installments (beginning no earlier than six months after separation from service). If a participant separates from service with the Company and its affiliates for any reason other than due to the participant’s death, disability or a change of control event, the remaining balance of the Participant’s account will generally be distributed with a lump sum or up to 10 annual installments beginning within two years of the separation from service. In addition, a Participant’s account balance will be distributed shortly after the first business day of the month following the Participant’s death or disability or a change of control event related to the Company or the subsidiary for which the participant is employed, without regard to any participant election.

The foregoing summary of the Plan does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Plan, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
