20.  Retirement Benefit Plan

 

Our 401(k) retirement plan provides for optional employee contributions up to the Internal Revenue Service limit and discretionary employer matching contributions. We make discretionary matching contributions to each participant’s account at a rate of (i) 100% of each participant’s first 1% of contributions plus (ii) 50% of each participant’s contributions up to the next 5% of eligible compensation. We recorded matching contributions of $9.7 million, $8.2 million and $7.5 million during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
