Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Severance and Other Charges | 10. SEVERANCE AND OTHER CHARGES In July 2014, the Company’s management authorized the consolidation of the manufacturing of Westcor division products, of the Brick Business Unit segment, by transferring those operations from Westcor’s Sunnyvale, California facility to the Company’s primary manufacturing facility in Andover, Massachusetts, by the end of 2014. As a result, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $2,207,000 in the second half of 2014, primarily for the cost of severance and other employee-related costs involving cash payments based on each employee’s respective length of service. The Company also incurred other costs related to the relocation of the manufacturing operations, primarily freight costs for the transfer of inventories and equipment, and employee travel expenses, of which approximately $303,000 was expensed in the second half of 2014. The severance payments will commence in January 2015. These charges were recorded as “Severance and other charges” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The related liability is presented as “Accrued severance charges” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. A summary of the activity related to the severance charges, is as follows (in thousands):
