Severance and Restructuring

14. Severance and Restructuring

     During 2016, the Company took steps to streamline and simplify its operations. The expenses recorded for year ended December 31, 2016 included costs related to terminated employees and other direct costs associated with implementing these initiatives. Other direct costs included contract termination costs, accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs. The Company incurred total pretax expenses related to these streamlining initiatives of approximately $8.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2016. The Company expects some additional restructuring and other costs to occur, however, the amount and timing cannot be determined at this time.

The following provides the components of and changes in our severance and restructuring accruals:

 

     Employee termination costs represent accrued severance payable to terminated employees with employment and/or separation agreements with the Company. The terminations resulted mainly from the closure of the contact center and other changes made to the executive leadership team made during the year ended December 31, 2016. The remaining accruals as of December 31, 2016 are expected to be paid through January 2019.

     Restructuring and other costs comprised of costs related to lease commitments and write-offs of leasehold improvements and property and equipment resulting from the closure of three adult day services centers in Illinois and for unused contact center office space, costs related to a discontinued internally developed software product and fees for the termination of various contracts with outside vendors for the year ended December 31, 2016.

     The aforementioned accruals are included in Accrued Expenses on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the aforementioned expenses are included in General and Administrative Expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
