Employee Benefit Plans [Abstract] |
401(k) Plan | 13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS 401(k) Plan In November 1998, we established the IES Holdings, Inc. 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan. All full-time IES employees are eligible to participate on the first day of the month subsequent to completing sixty days of service and attaining age twenty-one. Participants become vested in our matching contributions f ollowing three years of service. We recognized $616, $288, and $276 in matching expenses in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Infrastructure Solutions has two 401(k) plans. We recognized $121, $99, and $74 in matching expense s in fiscal years 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Executive Savings Plan Under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan adopted on July 1, 2004 (the “Executive Savings Plan”), certain employees are permitted to defer a portion (up to 75%) of their base salary and/or bonus for a plan y ear. The Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, credit one or more participants with an employer deferral (contribution) in such amount as the Committee may choose (“Employer Contribution”). The Employer Contribu tion, if any, may be a fixed dollar amount, a fixed percentage of the participant’s compensation, base salary, or bonus, or a “matching” amount with respect to all or part of the participant’s elective deferrals for such plan year, and/or any combination o f the foregoing as the Committee may choose. No compensation earned during the years ended September 30, 2016, 2015 or 2014 was deferred unde r this plan. Pos t Retirement Benefit Plans Certain individuals at one of the Company’s locations are entitled to receive fixed annual payments that reach a maximum amount, as specified in the related agreements, for a ten year period following retirement or, in some cases, the attainment of 62 year s of age. We recognize the unfunded status of the plan as a non-current liability in our Consolidated Balance S heet. Benefits vest 50% after ten years of service, which increases by 10% per annum until benefits are fully vested after 15 years of service. We had an unfunded benefit liability of $875 and $871 recorded as of September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We recognized compensation expense related to these agreements of $65, $11, and $15 during the years ended September 30, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Multiemployer Pension Plan Infrastructure Solutions participates in a multiemployer direct benefit pension plan for employees covered under our collective bargaining agreement. We do not administer the plan. We do not significantly participate in this plan. As of December 31, 2015, this plan was funded at 83.91%.
