Employee benefit plans |
Employee benefit plans | 15. Employee benefit plans: The Company sponsors a separate Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”) and Retirement Profit Sharing 401(k) Plan. The Company also maintains Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans (“SERP”), and an Employees’ Pension Plan, which is currently frozen. Under the ESOP, amounts voted by the Company’s Board of Directors are paid into the ESOP and each employee is credited with a share in proportion to their annual compensation. All contributions to the ESOP are invested in or will be invested primarily in Company stock. Distribution of a participant’s ESOP account occurs upon retirement, death or termination in accordance with the plan provisions. Under the Retirement Profit Sharing Plan, amounts approved by the Board of Directors have been paid into a fund and each employee was credited with a share in proportion to their annual compensation. Upon retirement, death or termination, each employee is paid the total amount of their credits in the fund in one of a number of optional ways in accordance with the plan provisions. Eligible employees may elect deferrals of up to the maximum amounts permitted by law. The Company contributed $185, $156 and $144 to the ESOP in 2017, 2016 and 2015. In addition, the Company contribution of $923, $786 and $778 to the Retirement Profit Sharing Plan in 2017, 2016 and 2015, was comprised of a safe harbor contribution of $509, $446 and $430 and a discretionary match of $414, $340 and $348. Peoples Bank established a SERP Plan to replace 401(k) plan benefits lost due to compensation limits imposed on qualified plans by Federal tax law. The annual benefit is a maximum of 6% of the executive compensation in excess of Federal limits. The total liability associated with this plan was $96 and $76 at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The expense associated with the plan was $20, $13 and $15 for 2017, 2016 and 2015 respectively. The Company has SERPs for the benefit of certain officers of the Company. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, other liabilities include $1,594 and $1,416 accrued under the Plans. Compensation expense includes approximately $314, $254, and $157 relating to these SERPs for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Under the Employees’ Pension Plan, currently under curtailment, amounts computed on an actuarial basis were being paid by the Company into a trust fund. The plan provided for fixed benefits payable for life upon retirement at the age of 65, based on length of service and compensation levels as defined in the plan. As of June 22, 2008 no further benefits are being accrued in this plan. Plan assets of the trust fund are invested and administered by the Trust Department of Peoples Bank.
