Other Compensation Plans	Other Compensation Plans We have a defined contribution plan (401(k)) that is available to substantially all employees who have at least 1,000 hours of service. We also have nonqualified deferred compensation plans, the Bob Evans Executive Deferral Plan (“BEEDP”) and Bob Evans Directors’ Deferral Plan (“BEDDP”), which provides certain executives and Board of Directors members, respectively, the opportunity to defer a portion of their current income to future years. Our annual matching contributions to the plans are at the discretion of our Board of Directors.

Expenses related to investment results of these deferrals totaled $1,942 and $1,788 in fiscal 2014 and fiscal 2013 respectively, and are recorded within SG&A.
