EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

18. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

We have a 401(k) savings plan (the Plan) in which all employees completing one month of service with the Company are eligible to participate. Participants may contribute up to the maximum amount allowed by the Internal Revenue Service. Since August 2012, we have matched 100% of the first 3% of each employee’s salary that is contributed to the Plan and 50% of the next 2% of each employee’s salary that is contributed to the Plan. Under this matching plan, we paid $21,083 and $17,642 into the plan during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $64,105 and $55,209 during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
