The Company recorded $0.8 million and $2.8 million for separation and hiring costs, including payroll taxes, certain benefits and related professional fees for the quarter and six months ended June 28, 2014, respectively. Separation and hiring costs were $1.1 million for the quarter and six months ended June 29, 2013. These separation and hiring costs have been recorded as a component of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses. As of June 28, 2014, remaining separation costs payable to the Company’s former executives of $1.4 million are accrued, which will be paid at various dates through 2016.
The separation and hiring costs during the quarter ended June 29, 2013 were primarily related to make-whole payments to Mr. Burris, our former President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Morrisroe, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, these payments provide compensation to offset losses recognized on the sale of their respective residences in connection with relocating near our corporate headquarters.
