Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings
The Company is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company’s loss contingencies not discussed elsewhere consist primarily of claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of business, a majority of which generally consist of employment-related claims involving contingent workers. These matters are at varying stages of investigation, arbitration or adjudication. The Company has accrued for losses on individual matters that are both probable and reasonably estimable.
Estimates are based on currently available information and assumptions. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability and the determination of whether a matter is reasonably estimable. The Company’s estimates may change and actual expenses could differ in the future as additional information becomes available.

Other Matters

In August 2017, the Company determined that it will need to perform recalculations in connection with its compliance testing on its 401(k) plans for certain prior periods, which will result in the Company making additional contributions to such plans. The Company is currently in the process of conducting an assessment and, at this time, is unable to reasonably estimate the amount or range of such contributions.  The Company anticipates completing its internal assessment of the matter in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.
