For the quarter and nine months ended September 28, 2013, separation and hiring costs were $0.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively, primarily related to make-whole payments to Mr. Burris, our former President and Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Morrisroe, our former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, these payments provided compensation to offset losses recognized on the sale of their respective residences in connection with relocating near our corporate headquarters. These separation and hiring costs have been recorded as a component of “Selling, general and administrative” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss) Income. As of September 27, 2014, remaining separation costs payable to the Company’s former executives of $1.1 million are accrued, which will be paid at various dates through 2016.

The entire disclosure for compensation costs, including compensated absences accruals, compensated absences liability, deferred compensation arrangements and income statement compensation items. Deferred compensation arrangements may include a description of an arrangement with an individual employee, which is generally an employment contract between the entity and a selected officer or key employee containing a promise by the employer to pay certain amounts at designated future dates, usually including a period after retirement, upon compliance with stipulated requirements. This type of arrangement is distinguished from broader based employee benefit plans as it is usually tailored to the employee. Disclosure also typically includes the amount of related compensation expense recognized during the reporting period, the number of shares (units) issued during the period under such arrangements, and the carrying amount as of the balance sheet date of the related liability.
