As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, accrued insurance included employee medical insurance costs of $9.4 million and $14.3 million, respectively, and accruals for losses under our workers' compensation, comprehensive general liability and vehicle liability self-insurance programs of $65.6 million and $59.4 million, respectively. Accrued compensation and benefits increased from the comparable period in 2019 primarily due to an increase in payroll tax payable of $17.0 million due to the deferral of employer payroll tax payments under the CARES Act which are due to be repaid in the fourth quarter of 2021. This increase was partially offset by decreases in accrued payroll of $4.8 million and accrued bonuses of $3.5 million. The increase in the fair value of the interest rate swap liability from December 31, 2019 is mainly due to changes in variable interest rates. For additional information relating to the derivative liability, see Note 11, "Financing Arrangements."
