Item 5.02, Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements
of Certain Officers.


Departure of Director
On September 24, 2007, Joseph F. Lizzadro, a member of the Company's
Board of Directors since 2000, informed the board that he will not
stand for re-election at the next annual meeting of shareholders.

Executive Retirement Plan
On September 24, 2007, the Compensation Committee of the Company's
Board of Directors (the "Committee") approved an amendment to the
General Employment Enterprises, Inc. Executive Retirement Plan (the
"Plan").  The amendment requires, in the event of a change in control of
the Company, that the Plan be terminated and that all account balances
be distributed to the Plan participants in single lump sum payments.
The Committee determined that the amendment was necessary for the Plan
to conform with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 409A
and the related regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department.

Employment Agreements
On September 24, 2007, the Committee approved amendments to the
employment agreements between the Company and each of its executive
officers - Herbert F. Imhoff, Jr. (Chairman of the Board, Chief
Executive Officer and President), Kent M. Yauch (Vice President, Chief
Financial Officer and Treasurer) and Marilyn L. White (Vice President),
which were first entered into in 2001.  The amendments change the
amount and form of payments to the executive officers under certain
circumstances following a termination of employment.  The Committee
determined that the amendments were necessary for the employment
agreements to conform with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code
Section 409A and the related regulations of the U.S. Treasury
Department, and to clarify the rights of the parties in the event that
an executive officer's employment is terminated.

Stock Option Awards
On September 24, 2007, pursuant to the Company's 1999 Stock Option
Plan, the Committee awarded options to purchase common stock of the
Company to the executive officers named below.  They are non-statutory
stock options that become vested two years after the date of grant. The
option exercise price was established as the closing market price on
the American Stock Exchange on the date of grant, September 24, 2007,
which was $1.61 per share.

       Kent M. Yauch			15,000 shares
