Employee Benefits | Note 8: Employee Benefits ​ Pension ​ During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019, we terminated our defined benefit pension plan for eligible factory hourly employees in our La-Z-Boy operating unit. In connection with the plan termination, we settled all future obligations under the plan through a combination of lump-sum payments to eligible participants who elected to receive them, and transferred any remaining benefit obligations under the plan to a highly rated insurance company. ​ There were no net periodic pension costs associated with the terminated pension plan in the quarter ended July 27, 2019. For the quarter ended July 28, 2018, net periodic pension costs were as follows: ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Quarter Ended
(Unaudited, amounts in thousands) |  | 7/28/18
Service cost | ​ | $ | 323
Interest cost | ​ |  | 1,116
Expected return on plan assets | ​ |  | (1,136)
Net amortization | ​ |  | 639
Net periodic pension cost | ​ | $ | 942
​ The components of net periodic pension cost other than the service cost are included in other income (expense), net in our consolidated statement of income. Service cost is recorded in cost of sales in our consolidated statement of income. ​ Employee Vacation Policy Changes ​ We enacted changes to our employee vacation policies that became effective on January 1, 2019. Our new vacation policies enhanced the amount of vacation time earned by our employees. Additionally, under these vacation policies, our salary and office hourly employees now accrue vacation in the current calendar year for use in the current calendar year, and any vacation time earned but not used will be forfeited at the end of each calendar year.
