S0MERSET, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 10, 2001

TeamStaff, Inc. (NASDAQ: TSTF -news) a leading outsourcer of business solutions and Professional Employer Organization announced today that it has sold its El Paso PEO operation to American Staff Resources Corporation.

Commenting on the transaction, Donald W. Kappauf, President and CEO of TeamStaff said, "due to the heavy concentration of manufacturing and construction business in this market,

we have had difficulties in terms of our workers' compensation experience for a couple of years and decided that this market did not fit into our long-term strategic plans.. TeamStaff today is pursuing more of a white-collar book of business as it moves forward with its growth plans. We are very pleased that American Staff Resources has purchased this book of business. We feel they are a very quality -oriented organization and that the clients and employees being transferred will have a very professional and productive relationship."

TeamStaff acquired the El Paso book of business many years ago from Turnkey, Inc. a small PEO located only in El Paso, Texas. The book of business, which represents about $35 million in revenue has only been marginally profitable.

Terms of the transaction were not disclosed. However the Company stated the impact on the Company's earnings from the sale were expected to be negligible.
