Share-based Compensation [Abstract]  
Stock Compensation Expense
STOCK COMPENSATION EXPENSE

The Company recognizes compensation expense relating to share-based payments based on the fair value of the equity instrument issued and records such expense in selling and administrative expenses in the Company's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. The number of shares to be issued is determined by dividing the specified dollar value of the award by the market value per share on the grant date. The Company's stock compensation expense was $328 for the three months ended March 26, 2016 and $277 for the three months ended March 28, 2015.

On March 11, 2016, the Company issued 149,215 shares of restricted stock to officers and other key employees. The grant-date fair value of the awards was $651, or $4.360 per share, and is expected to be recognized as stock compensation expense over a weighted-average period of 8.7 years from the date the awards were granted. Each award is subject to a continued service condition. The fair value of each share of restricted stock awarded was equal to the market value of a share of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date.
