Retirement Benefits [Abstract]  
Pension Benefits Pension Benefits
We sponsor qualified and supplemental (non-qualified) noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering certain full-time salaried and hourly U.S. employees. The most significant of these plans, the YUM Retirement Plan (the “Plan”), is funded. We fund our other U.S. plans as benefits are paid. Our two significant U.S. plans, including the Plan and a supplemental plan, were previously amended such that any salaried employee hired or rehired by YUM after September 30, 2001, is not eligible to participate in those plans. Additionally, these two plans in the U.S. are currently closed to new hourly participants.  

The components of net periodic benefit cost associated with our U.S. pension plans are as follows:
