Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Note 10 – Plans of Restructuring

On November 6, 2014, we announced a corporate initiative to rationalize our operations and provide expense efficiencies, which was expected to be completed by the end of fiscal 2015. This initiative originally planned for the elimination of approximately 2% to 3% of our workforce and the closing of certain facilities. We subsequently announced our plan to extend these restructuring activities through the end of 2016 to further implement cost-savings initiatives, which ultimately resulted in the elimination of approximately 900 positions, representing slightly more than 4% of our workforce. The total costs associated with the actions for this restructuring included $34.9 million pre-tax, which was recorded in fiscal 2015, and $45.9 million pre-tax, which was recorded in fiscal 2016. The costs associated with this restructuring are included in a separate line item, “Restructuring costs” within our consolidated statements of income.

As of December 31, 2016 our restructuring activities are complete and we did not incur any additional restructuring charges in fiscal 2017.

The following table shows the amounts expensed and paid for restructuring costs that were incurred during our 2017, 2016 and 2015 fiscal years and the remaining accrued balance of restructuring costs as of December 30, 2017, which is included in Accrued expenses: Other and Other liabilities within our consolidated balance sheet:
