Long-Term Incentive Compensation [Abstract]
Long-Term Incentive Compensation	11. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE COMPENSATION In December 2001, the Company adopted the Appvion, Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). Effective January 3, 2010, the Company adopted a long-term restricted stock unit plan ("RSU"). Both plans utilize phantom units. The value of a unit in the LTIP is based on the change in the fair market value of PDC’s common stock under the terms of the employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”) between the grant date and the exercise date. The value of a unit in the RSU is based on the value of PDC common stock, as determined by the ESOP trustee. All units under both the LTIP and RSU plans will vest immediately, and cash payment will be made, upon a change in control as defined in the plans. During first quarter 2014, 108,650 additional units were granted under the RSU plan. Due to terminations of employment, 925 unvested units were forfeited during the current year quarter. A balance of 323,850 RSU units remains as of March 30, 2014. Approximately $0.3 million of expense, related to this plan, was recorded during each of the three-month periods ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013. During the first three months of 2014, 210,650 additional units were granted under the LTIP plan. Approximately $0.4 million of expense was recovered during the three-month period ending March 30, 2014. Expense of approximately $0.2 million was recorded during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013. Beginning in 2006, the Company established a nonqualified deferred compensation agreement with each of its non-employee directors. There was no expense recorded for this plan during the three months ended March 30, 2014 and approximately $0.1 million was recorded as plan expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013.

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.
