RETIREMENT PLANS
RETIREMENT PLANS
We have two defined contribution retirement plans (the “Retirement Plans”) under which qualified participants may make contributions, which together with our contributions, can be up to 100% of their compensation, as defined, to a maximum of $51,000. In the first month following the date of hire, an employee can elect to become a participant in a Retirement Plan. Under the Plans, participant contributions of 1% to 5% are matched on a 2 to 1 basis. Our contributions vest 100% to each participant after three years of service with us including any period of ineligibility mandated by the Plans. If a participant terminates employment before becoming fully vested, the unvested portion is credited to our account and can be used only to offset our future contribution requirements.
During fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, forfeitures of $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.3 million, respectively, were used to reduce our cash contribution requirements. In fiscal years 2013, 2012 and 2011, our actual cash contributions totaled approximately $6.8 million, $4.6 million and $4.3 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, there were approximately $0.2 million of contribution forfeitures, which can be used to reduce our future cash contribution requirements.
