Employer contribution expenses under these plans totaled $42.4 million, $41.5 million and $38.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Amounts deferred under these plans were approximately $51.8 million and $46.4 million at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Changes in the liability are recorded as adjustments to compensation expense. The underlying investments, which are classified as trading securities, are recorded at fair market value with changes recorded as adjustments to other income, net.
