Self-insurance and other litigation liabilities | $ | 94,939 |  |  | $ | 99,612 |
Employee compensation and related benefits | 87,519 |  |  | 99,332 |

Other | 26,383 |  |  | 25,318 |
Total | $ | 386,085 |  |  | $ | 356,176 |
(a) | The increase in inventory-related obligations at February 28, 2014, compared to November 30, 2013, reflected a $33.2 million liability we recorded for fixed or determinable amounts associated with tax increment financing entities (“TIFE”) in connection with the distribution of land we received from Inspirada during the three months ended February 28, 2014. As homes are delivered, the obligation to pay the remaining TIFE assessments associated with each underlying lot is transferred to the homebuyer. As such, these assessment obligations will be paid by us only to the extent we do not deliver homes to homebuyers on the applicable lots before the related TIFE obligations mature.
