401(k) Profit-Sharing Retirement Plan
The Company maintains a contributory 401(k) profit-sharing retirement plan covering substantially all U.S. employees. At its discretion, the Company may match up to 50% of the first 6% of eligible wages contributed by the participants. Company contributions, net of forfeitures, which currently consist of cash and may include the Company’s stock, were funded and charged to operations in the amounts of $2.3 million, $2.4 million, and $2.8 million for 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
Other Retirement Plans
The Company maintains various other defined contribution retirement plans covering substantially all of the remaining European employees. Company contributions charged to operations were $0.2 million in 2014, and $0.1 million in both 2013, and 2012.
Employee Health Insurance
The Company provides various health insurance plans for its employees, including a self-insured plan for its salaried employees in the U.S. In 2014 and previous years, the Company offered limited healthcare coverage to its hourly employees, which includes nearly half of its total employees. Under the PPACA, the Company will be required to offer expanded healthcare coverage to those employees, or potentially pay financial penalties. Beginning in 2015, the Company is in the process of offering compliant healthcare coverage as required.
