Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract] |
Retirement Plans | NOTE 16: RETIREMENT PLANS We sponsor a 401(k) retirement savings plan under which eligible employees may contribute a portion of pre-tax earnings. In our sole discretion, we may match employee contributions in the form of either cash or our Class A Common Stock. Prior to July 1, 2013, a participant vested in the matching contributions pro rata over their first five years of service. As of July 1, 2013, a participant vests in the matching contributions pro rata over their first three years of service. All of a participant’s matching contributions vest 100% in the event of the participant’s death or disability or the termination of the plan due to a change in control. The following table presents matching contribution information for our 401(k) Plan:
| Fiscal Year Ended September 30,

Matching contributions to EZCORP Inc. 401(k) Plan and Trust | $ | 547 |  |  | $ | 570 |  |  | $ | 557 |
We also provide a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan for selected executives. Funds in the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan vest over three years from the grant date, with one-third vesting each year. All of a participant’s Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan funds from all grants vest 100% in the event of the participant’s death or disability or the termination of the plan due to a change in control. In addition, the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan funds are 100% vested when a participant attains his or her normal retirement age (generally 60 years old and five years of active service) while actively employed by us. Expense of contributions to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan is recognized based on the vesting schedule. The following table provides contribution and amortized expense amounts related to the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan:
