Note L. Benefit Plans

        The Company offers deferred compensation arrangements for certain key executives. Subject to their continued employment by the Company, certain employees are offered supplemental pension arrangements in which the employees will receive a defined monthly benefit upon attaining age 65. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company has accrued $3,710 and $3,669, respectively, representing the present value of the future benefit payments. Expenses related to these plans amounted to $145, $486, and $311 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        As a result of the Central Merger, the Company has agreements with certain former key executives that provide for aggregate annual payments ranging from $32 to $144 per year for periods ranging from 10 years to life, beginning when the executive retires or upon death or disability. Under certain conditions, the amount of deferred benefits can be reduced. Life insurance contracts with a face value of approximately $6,986 as of December 31, 2013 have been purchased to fund, as necessary, the benefits under these agreements. The cash surrender value of the life insurance contracts is approximately $993 and $700 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and classified in non-current assets and included in Other assets, net. The plan is a non-qualified plan and is not subject to ERISA funding requirements. Compensation costs for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $565 and $855, respectively. The Company had recorded a liability in other long-term liabilities of $3,586 and $3,942 associated with these agreements as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

        The Company sponsors savings and retirement plan whereby the participants may elect to contribute a portion of their compensation to the plan. The plans are qualified defined contribution plans 401(K). For the Standard plan, the Company contributes an amount in cash or other property as a Company match equal to 50% of the first 4% of contributions as they occur. For the Central Plan, the Company will match an amount equal to 100% of the participant's contributions up to 3% of compensation and 50% of the participant's contributions exceeding 3% but not to exceed 5% of compensation. Expenses related to these plans amounted to $1,764, $893, and $988 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The two plans merged effective January 1, 2014.

        The Company also offers a non-qualified deferred compensation plan to those employees whose participation in its 401(k) plan is limited by statute or regulation. This plan allows certain employees to defer a portion of their compensation, limited to a maximum of $50 per year, to be paid to the participants upon separation of employment or distribution date selected by employee. To support the non-qualified deferred compensation plan, the Company has elected to purchase Company Owned Life Insurance ("COLI") policies on certain plan participants. The cash surrender value of the COLI policies is designed to provide a source for funding the the non-qualified deferred compensation liability. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the cash surrender value of the COLI policies is $8,151 and $5,620, respectively and is included in other non-current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The liability for the non-qualified deferred compensation plan is included in other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and was $9,096 and $6,064 as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

        The Company contributes to a number of multiemployer defined benefit pension plans under the terms of collective-bargaining agreements that cover its union-represented employees. The risks of participating in these multiemployer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects:

  •         a.     Assets contributed to the multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers.

            b.     If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers.

            c.     If the Company chooses to stop participating in one of its multiemployer plans, it may be required to pay the plan an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as withdrawal liability.

        The Company's contributions represented more than 5% of total contributions to the Teamsters Local Union No. 727 Benefit Fund for the plan year ending February 28, 2013. The Company does not represent more than five percent to any other fund. The Company's participation in this plan for the annual periods ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, is outlined in the table below. The "EIN/Pension Plan Number" column provides the Employee Identification Number ("EIN") and the three-digit plan number, if applicable. The zone status is based on information that the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65 percent funded, plans in the yellow zone are less than 80 percent funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded. The "FIP/RP Status Pending/Implemented" column indicates plans for which a Financial Improvement Plan ("FIP") or a Rehabilitation Plan ("RP") is either pending or has been implemented. The "Expiration Date of Collective Bargaining Agreement" column lists the expiration dates of the agreements to which the plans are subject.

        Net expenses for contributions not reimbursed by clients and related to multiemployer defined benefit and defined contribution benefit plans were $621, $762 and $710 in 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

        In the event that the Company decides to cease participating in these plans, the Company could be assessed a withdrawal liability. The Company currently does not have any intentions to cease participating in these multiemployer pension plans and therefore would not trigger the withdrawal liability.
