Employee Benefit Plans
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
    
Profit Sharing Plan. The Company has a noncontributory profit sharing plan. All employees, other than temporary employees, working 20 hours or more per week are eligible to participate in the profit sharing plan. The Company’s Board of Directors authorize contributions to the profit sharing plan that are not to exceed, on an individual basis, the lesser of 100% of compensation or $50 annually. Participants become 100% vested upon the completion of three years of vesting service. Accrued contribution expense for this plan of $727, $1,509 and $1,555 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, is included in employee benefits expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
    
Savings Plan. In addition, the Company has a contributory employee savings plan. Eligibility requirements for this plan are the same as those for the profit sharing plan discussed in the preceding paragraph. Employee participation in the plan is at the option of the employee. The Company contributes $1.25 for each $1.00 of employee contributions up to 4% of the participating employee’s compensation. Accrued contribution expense for this plan of $4,683, $4,256 and $4,067 in 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, is included in employee benefits expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
    
Postretirement Healthcare Plan. The Company sponsors a contributory defined benefit healthcare plan (the “Plan”) for active employees and employees and directors retiring from the Company at the age of at least 55 years and with at least 15 years of continuous service. Retired Plan participants contribute the full cost of benefits based on the average per capita cost of benefit coverage for both active employees and retired Plan participants.
    
The Plan’s unfunded benefit obligation of $3,921 and $3,577 as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Net periodic benefit costs of $400, $400 and $571 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are included in employee benefits expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of income.
    
Weighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine the postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2015 , and the net periodic benefit costs for the year then ended, included a discount rate of 3.6% and a 6.0% annual increase in the per capita cost of covered healthcare benefits. Weighted average actuarial assumptions used to determine the postretirement benefit obligation at December 31, 2014, and the net periodic benefit costs for the year then ended, included a discount rate of 3.6% and a 6.5% annual increase in the per capita cost of covered healthcare benefits.The estimated effect of a one percent increase or a one percent decrease in the assumed healthcare cost trend rate would not significantly impact the service and interest cost components of the net periodic benefit cost or the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation. Future benefit payments are expected to be $163, $194, $219, $254, $295 and $1,500 for 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 through 2025, respectively.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Plan of $555, or $378 net of related income tax benefit, comprised of net actuarial losses of $255 and an unamortized transition asset of $300. The Company estimates $35 will be amortized from accumulated other comprehensive loss into net period benefit costs in 2016.
