Note 8 Employee Benefits

 

The Company sponsors a Section 401(k) plan (the “Plan”) covering substantially all its eligible U.S. employees. The Plan entitles eligible employees to make contributions to the Plan after meeting certain eligibility requirements. Contributions are limited to the maximum contribution allowances permitted under the Internal Revenue Code. The Company matches 50% of the employee contributions up to a maximum match of $1.5, as set forth in the Plan. The Company may also make discretionary contributions to the Plan, which would be allocable to participants in accordance with the Plan.

 

In addition, the Company has several other U.S. and non-U.S. defined contribution plans covering eligible U.S. and non-U.S. employees, respectively. Postretirement benefits related to non-U.S. defined contribution plans, other than pensions, provide healthcare benefits, and in some instances, life insurance benefits for certain eligible employees.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company expensed $721, $527 and $489, respectively, for matching contributions to defined contribution plans.
