Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 27, 2008, Westaff, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Share Sale Agreement (the "Sale Agreement") with Humanis Blue Pty Limited, an Australian company and a subsidiary of Humanis Group Limited (the "Buyer"), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Buyer all of the Company's shares (the "Shares") in Westaff (Australia) Pty Limited ("Westaff Australia") and Westaff NZ Limited ("Westaff NZ" and, together with Westaff Australia, the "Subsidiaries"). Westaff Australia and Westaff NZ are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Sale Agreement, the purchase price payable by the Buyer to the Company for the Shares would be A$19,000,000.
A$16,000,000 of the purchase price would be payable at closing, and the remaining A$3,000,000 of the purchase price would be payable in the form of a deferred payment due one year after closing, which deferred payment would bear interest at a floating rate equal to 4% per annum above the 90 day bank bill swap rate in Australia for the first twelve months after closing and 8% above the 90 day bank bill swap rate in Australia following the first anniversary of the closing. The purchase price is subject to adjustment based on the net operating assets of the Australian and New Zealand Subsidiaries at closing. The Company has made customary representations and warranties and covenants in the Sale Agreement.

The sale of the Shares pursuant to the Sale Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including, among other things, the execution of a license agreement providing for the license of certain trademarks of the Company to Buyer following closing, the obtaining of certain third-party consents, the repayment of external debt of the Australian and New Zealand Subsidiaries, the repayment or cancellation of certain intercompany balances and the retaining of cash by the Australian and New Zealand Subsidiaries in an aggregate amount of A$1 million.

The Sale Agreement provides, among other things, that the Sale Agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving the other party notice if any of the conditions precedent are not satisfied within 30 days after execution of the Sale Agreement (and such conditions precedent have not been waived pursuant to the Sale Agreement).

The foregoing description of the Sale Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's next Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
