EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Defined Contribution Plan
We offer our eligible employees the opportunity to contribute to a 401(k) plan (“401(k) Plan”). Under the provisions of the 401(k) Plan participants may direct us to defer a portion of their compensation to the 401(k) Plan, subject to Internal Revenue Code limitations. In fiscal year 2021, we provided an employer matching contribution for hourly employees equal to 100% of every dollar an employee invests up to 1% of annual income and 50% of additional employee contributions up to a maximum contribution into the 401(k) Plan of 3% of annual income. In fiscal year 2021, we provided an employer matching contribution for salaried employees equal to 50% of every dollar an employee invests in the 401(k) Plan up to a maximum contribution of one thousand five hundred dollars or up to 2% of annual income, whichever is greater, per employee per calendar year. Participants vest in employer contributions ratable over a two-year period. Employer contributions for fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019 amounted to $2,811, $2,357 and $1,608, respectively.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
We offer our eligible employees the opportunity to participate in an employee stock purchase plan. Under this plan, qualified employees may purchase shares of Class A common stock by payroll deduction at a 15% discount from the market price. During fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, 20, 20 and 23 shares, respectively, of Class A common stock were issued under this plan. As of December 31, 2021, 54 shares of Class A common stock were available for distribution under this plan.
Multiemployer Pension Plan
We make contributions to a multiemployer defined benefit pension plan, the New England Teamsters and Trucking Industry Pension Fund (the “Pension Plan”), under the terms of a collective bargaining agreement (“CBA”) that covers certain of our union represented employees. The EIN or Pension Plan Number for the Pension Plan is 04-6372430. The Pension Plan provides retirement benefits to participants based on their service to contributing employers. We do not administer the Pension Plan. The risks of participating in a multiemployer pension plan are different from a single-employer pension plan in that: (i) assets contributed to the multiemployer pension plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees or former employees of other participating employers; (ii) if a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be required to be assumed by the remaining participating employers; and (iii) if we choose to stop participating in our multiemployer Pension Plan, we may be required to pay the plan a withdrawal amount based on the underfunded status of the plan.
In fiscal year 2019, we reached an agreement to withdraw from the Pension Plan by entering into Withdrawal and Re-entry Agreements with the Pension Plan. In accordance with FASB ASC 450 - Contingencies, because of our withdrawal from the Pension Plan, we recorded an obligation of $3,194 and a charge of $3,591 as pension withdrawal expense, offset by a $397 retroactive contribution credit recorded as cost of operations, in fiscal year 2019. While the withdrawal generates a fixed yearly contingent liability for us for a period of approximately seventeen (17) years, it caps our gross payments at $4,224 significantly reducing our cash exposure from the potential $18,511 withdrawal liability as determined based on a complete withdrawal prior to withdrawing from the Pension Plan. As per the Re-entry Agreements and upon withdrawal, we re-entered the Pension Plan as a new employer with certainty from a liability perspective. As of December 31, 2021, we had a remaining obligation of $1,674 in aggregate principal amount associated with our withdrawal. We did not, however, change the terms of our CBA with Local 170, which remained in effect until it expired on June 30, 2020, at which time a new agreement was entered into. As a new employer in the Pension Plan, our contributions are projected to fully fund the benefits accrued by our employees in the Pension Plan. As of December 31, 2021, our employees were fully funded as a new employer in the Pension Plan, subject to the terms of the Agreements. Subsequent withdrawal from the Pension Plan, under certain circumstances, may result in a change in the payment schedule required to settle the remaining obligation associated with our withdrawal. During fiscal years 2021, 2020 and 2019, we made contributions to the Pension Plan of $398, $390 and $409, respectively.
