6. Restructuring Expense

We implemented business restructurings in the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 to reduce our cost structure through workforce reductions. The three and six months ended June 30, 2019 also included charges for the exit of an office building.

The following table summarizes the activity in accrued restructuring expense, included in accrued expenses, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 (in thousands):

		Severance and Other Restructuring Costs
		Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2020
Accrued restructuring, beginning of the period	$	642	$	282
Provision for restructuring expense		—		579
Cash payments		(223)		(442)
Accrued restructuring, end of the period	$	419	$	419

We expect to pay the remaining accrued restructuring balance by March 31, 2021.
