Compensation And Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Retirement and Other Benefit Plans	14. Retirement and Other Benefit Plans The Company’s principal retirement benefit plan is the Parsons Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”), a stock bonus plan, established in 1975 to cover eligible employees of the Company and certain affiliated companies. Contributions of treasury stock to the ESOP are made annually in amounts determined by the Company’s board of directors and are held in trust for the sole benefit of the participants. Shares allocated to a participant’s account are fully vested after six years of credited service, or in the event(s) of reaching age 65, death or disability while an active employee of the Company. All of the Company’s common stock was acquired by the ESOP in conjunction with a reorganization in 1984, which was financed by the Company. Upon retirement, death, termination due to permanent disability, a severe financial hardship, conflict of interest or the exercise of diversification rights, participants’ interests in their ESOP accounts are redeemable at the current price per share of the stock. There is a lock-up agreement in place through November 3, 2019 affecting the ability of the ESOP Trustee to trade shares of the Company’s stock.  During the lock-up period, the Trustee will redeem eligible participants’ interests in their ESOP accounts for cash, funded by the May 10, 2019 IPO Dividend described below.  If that cash is exhausted before the end of the lock-up period, participants will put their shares to the Company which will redeem them for cash.  Upon the expiration of the lock-up period, all shares held by the ESOP will be redeemable by participants in shares of the Company’s stock once vesting and eligibility requirements have been met. The Company presents all shares held by the ESOP as temporary equity on the consolidated balance sheets at their redemption value.  The Company elected the policy to adjust the temporary equity balance to the maximum redemption amount at each balance sheet date for units that are not currently redeemable.  Accordingly, at each balance sheet date, the Company will adjust the temporary equity balance to its maximum redemption amount with a corresponding offset to retained earnings. Total ESOP contribution expense was $11.4 million and $12.3 million for the three months ended September 28, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively, and $34.1 million and $36.8 million for the nine months ended September 28, 2018 and September 30, 2019, respectively. The expense is recorded in “Direct costs of contracts” and “Indirect, general and administrative expense” in the consolidated statements of income. The fiscal 2019 ESOP contribution has not yet been made.  The amount is currently included in accrued liabilities. At December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, 78,172,809 shares and 78,138,602 shares of the Company’s stock were held by the ESOP which the Company recorded at their aggregate redemption value of $1.9 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively. On April 3, 2019, the board of directors of the Company declared a cash dividend to the Company’s sole existing shareholder at that time, the ESOP, in the amount of $2.00 per share, or $52.1 million in the aggregate (the “IPO Dividend”). The IPO Dividend was paid on May 10, 2019. On April 15, 2019, the board of directors of the Company declared a common stock dividend in a ratio of two shares of common stock for every one share of common stock then held by the Company’s shareholder (the “Stock Dividend”). The record date of the Stock Dividend was May 7, 2019, the day immediately prior to the consummation of the Company’s IPO on May 8, 2019, and the payment date of the Stock Dividend was May 8, 2019. Purchasers of the Company’s common stock in the Company’s public offering were not entitled to receive any portion of the Stock Dividend. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company did not declare any dividends.  Please see the Company’s Form S-1/A, filed April 29, 2019, for a further discussion of the Company’s ESOP. As part of an acquisition in 2014, the Company acquired a defined contribution pension plan, a defined benefit pension plan, and supplemental retirement plan. For the defined contribution pension plan, the Company contributes a base amount plus an additional amount based upon a predetermined formula. At December 31, 2018 and September 30, 2019, the defined benefit pension plan was in a net asset position of $1.7 million and $1.7 million, respectively, which is recorded in “Other noncurrent assets” on the consolidated balance sheets.
