Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
Retirement Benefits | Note 14. Retirement Benefits We sponsor a 401(k) savings plan providing benefits for substantially all United States-based employees of Daktronics, Inc. and its subsidiaries, subject to certain Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") limits. We made matching cash contributions equal to 50 percent of the employee's qualifying contribution up to six percent of such employee's compensation; however, effective April 1, 2020, we eliminated our matching contribution as one of our cost savings initiatives. Employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) savings plan upon completion of three months of continuous service if they have attained the age of 21. We contributed $2,917, $2,754 and $2,612 for matches to the plan for fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
