Summary of HALF ROBERT INTERNATIONAL INC /DE/

Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On January 28, 2009, Robert Half International Inc. issued a press release reporting earnings for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2008. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The foregoing information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being "furnished" and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such future filing.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 and the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 contained disclosure of a matter brought by Plaintiff Don Tran on behalf of himself and a putative class of salaried Consultants and Senior Consultants, and a sub-class of terminated salaried Consultants and Senior Consultants, naming Protiviti Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Protiviti"), as Defendant. As disclosed in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, Plaintiffs filed a motion to certify the class on May 12, 2008 and Protiviti filed a motion to strike the class allegations on the same date. Although no order has been issued to date, on December 18, 2008, the Court ruled that it would certify two classes, one of California Consultants and another of California Senior Consultants, on overtime pay claims. The Court also ruled that it would deny certification, without prejudice, on claims for alleged unpaid meal and rest breaks. Further, it ruled that the Plaintiffs must submit a detailed trial plan, which the Court may use to revisit the class certification issue. The class has not yet been given notice of the action or the ruling. At this stage of the litigation, it is not feasible to predict its outcome or a range of loss, should a loss occur. Accordingly, no amounts will be provided in the financial statements to be included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Reference is made to Note G to the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) included in the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2008 for a more detailed description of this case.
