The company used the temporary employees for two months, after which managers stopped using them. There were many complaints from production foremen that the temporary employees were not very efficient.

Before filing the lawsuit, management would like to have some information about the possible damages in the case. What accounting and other information would you look at to assist management in evaluating possible damages?
