Benefit Plans [Abstract] |
Benefit Plans | 9.Retirement Plans Effective December 31, 2008, we froze both of our noncontributory defined benefit plans: our pension plan (the “pension plan”) and our unfunded, nonqualified plan (the “restoration plan”), which restores retirement benefits for certain associates who are affected by Internal Revenue Code limitations on benefits provided under the pension plan. No additional benefits have accrued under these plans since that date. In connection with benefits earned prior to December 31, 2008, we have a continuing obligation to fund the pension plan and will continue to recognize net periodic pension expense for both plans. We use a fiscal year end measurement date for both the pension plan and the restoration plan. Components of Net Pension Expense

We made $2.3 million in contributions to the pension plan during the nine months ended November 30, 2014, and anticipate making no additional contributions during the remainder of fiscal 2015. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for the pension plan was 7.75% as of February 28, 2014.
