Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes INCOME TAXESThe Company maintains management and operational activities in overseas subsidiaries, and its foreign earnings are taxed at rates that are different than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate. A significant amount of the Company’s earnings are
generated by its Canadian, European and Asian subsidiaries and, to a lesser extent, in jurisdictions that are not subject to income tax.
The Company intends to permanently reinvest all non-cash undistributed earnings outside of the U.S. and has, therefore not established a deferred tax liability on that amount of foreign unremitted earnings. However, if these non-cash undistributed earnings were repatriated, the Company would be required to accrue and pay applicable U.S. taxes and withholding taxes payable to various countries. It is not practicable to estimate the amount of the deferred tax liability associated with these non-cash unremitted earnings due to the complexity of the hypothetical calculation.
The Company’s effective tax rates for the quarter and year-to-date ended September 26, 2020 were 28.5% and 15.5%, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rates for the quarter and year-to-date ended September 28, 2019 were 20.3% and 17.9%, respectively. The increase in the effective rate for the current quarterly period reflects a negative impact from current period discrete items, as well as a shift in income between tax jurisdictions with differing tax rates. The decrease in the current year-to-date effective tax rate is driven by the positive impact of discrete items partially offset by the negative impact of a shift in income between jurisdictions with differing tax rates.

The Company is subject to periodic audits by U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax authorities. Currently, the Company is undergoing routine periodic audits in both U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible that the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits could change in the next 12 months as a result of the audits; however, any payment of tax is not expected to be significant to the consolidated condensed financial statements. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local or non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2015 in the majority of tax jurisdictions.
