Direct labor costs include salaries, wages, and related fringe benefits (including pension costs) for labor hours directly associated with the completion of projects. Bonuses, share-based compensation, termination payments, and salaries, wages, and related fringe benefits (including pension costs) for labor hours not directly associated with the completion of projects are included in indirect labor costs. Indirect labor costs are included in administrative and marketing expenses in the consolidated statements of income. Included in pension costs is $77.3 (2019 – $73.0) related to defined contribution plans.

As a result of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, government grants received for wage subsidies were $3.5 and were primarily related to the UK Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. The wage subsidies were presented as a reduction to indirect labor in administrative and marketing expenses. At December 31, 2020, there were no unperformed conditions related to these grants.
