Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure | Employee Retirement and Deferred Compensation Plans Salary Deferral Savings Plans We maintain salary deferral savings plans covering substantially all employees. We recognized an expense, net of plan forfeitures, with respect to the plans of $14.1 million, $12.6 million, and $12.3 million for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. Deferred Compensation Plan We have an unfunded, nonqualified deferred compensation plan that permits eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation. The deferred compensation, together with certain of our contributions, earns various rates of return depending upon when the compensation was deferred. A portion of the deferred compensation and interest earned may be forfeited by a participant if he or she elects to withdraw the compensation prior to the end of the deferral period. We accrued $31.1 million and $27.0 million at October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, for our obligations under the plan. Defined Benefit Retirement Plans We have two unfunded defined benefit retirement plans. Retirement benefits generally vest when the participant reaches normal retirement age. Such age was reduced from age 62 to age 58 in fiscal 2019. Unrecognized prior service costs are being amortized over the period from the date participants enter the plans until their interests are fully vested. We used a 2.61%, 4.06%, and 3.19% discount rate in our calculation of the present value of our projected benefit obligations at October 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The rates represent the approximate long-term investment rate at October 31 of the fiscal year for which the present value was calculated. Information related to the plans is based on actuarial information calculated as of October 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017. Information related to our retirement plans for each of the fiscal years ended October 31, 2019, 2018, and 2017, is as follows (amounts in thousands):
