Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
Retirement Benefits | 17. RETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company maintains both qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans for its U.S. employees employed prior to April 1, 2010. Generally, the Company computes the benefits based on average earnings over a period prescribed by the plans and credited length of service. The Company's non-qualified defined benefit pension plan provided compensating pension benefits for participants whose benefits have been curtailed under the qualified plan due to Internal Revenue Code limitations. Effective January 1, 2018, participants of the Company's non-qualified defined benefit pension plan may no longer accrue additional service benefits. Net periodic benefit cost for U.S. employees included the following components for the periods indicated:
