EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company sponsors a 401(k) defined contribution plan that covers a significant portion, or approximately 75% of the Company's associates. This plan was modified in 2012 compared with prior years to include a mandatory Company match on the first 1% of participants' contributions. The Company matches the next 2% of participants' contributions if the Company meets prescribed earnings levels. The plan also provides for additional Company contributions above the 3% level if the Company attains certain additional performance targets. Matching contribution expense for this 401(k) plan was $143 and $134 for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively.

Additionally, the Company sponsors a 401(K) defined contribution plan that covers those associates at one facility who are under a collective-bargaining agreement, or approximately 25% of the Company's associates. Under this plan, the Company generally matches participants' contributions, on a sliding scale, up to a maximum of 2.75% of the participant's earnings. Matching contribution expense for the collective-bargaining 401(k) plan was $17 and $21 for the three months ended March 30, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively.
