Employee Benefit Plans
Employee Benefit Plans	12. Employee Benefit Plans We and certain of our subsidiaries sponsor various retirement plans for most full-time and some part-time employees. These plans primarily consist of defined contribution plans. The defined contribution plans generally provide for contributions up to 2.5% of covered employees’ salaries or wages, although a few of the plans’ employer contributions are discretionary in nature. These contributions totaled $35.3 million in 2024, $22.9 million in 2023 and $19.8 million in 2022. Certain of our subsidiaries also participate or have participated in various multi-employer pension plans for the benefit of employees who are union members. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had 50 and 7 employees, respectively, who were union members. There were no contributions made to multi-employer pension plans in 2024, 2023 or 2022. The data available from administrators of other multi-employer pension plans is not sufficient to determine the accumulated benefit obligations, nor the net assets attributable to the multi-employer plans in which our employees participate or previously participated. As of December 31, 2024, we had life insurance policies covering certain employees, with a combined face value of $101.9 million. The policies are invested in several investment vehicles and are recorded at their cash surrender value. The cash surrender values associated with these policies were $9.0 million and $7.5 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are included in “Other Noncurrent Assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
