Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, Nonpension Benefits, Policy [Policy Text Block] | 10) Retirement Plans The Company and its subsidiaries have a noncontributory Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for all eligible employees. Eligible employees are primarily those with more than one year of service, who work in excess of 1,000 hours per year. Contributions, which may be in cash or stock of the Company, are determined annually by the Board of Directors. The Company’s contributions are allocated to eligible employees based on the ratio of each eligible employee’s compensation to total compensation for all eligible employees during each year. The Company did not make any contributions for 2011, 2010 and 2009. At December 31, 2011 the ESOP held 652,357 shares of Class A and 2,185,285 shares of Class C common stock of the Company. All shares held by the ESOP have been allocated to the participating employees and all shares held by the ESOP are considered outstanding for purposes of computing earnings per share. The Company has three 401(k) savings plans covering all eligible employees, as defined above, which includes employer participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The plans allow participants to make pretax contributions up to a maximum of $16,500, $16,500 and $15,500 for the years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively or the statutory limits. Beginning January 1, 2008, the Company elected to be a “Safe Harbor” Plan for its matching 401(k) contributions. The Company matched 100% of up to 3% of an employee’s total annual compensation and matched 50% of 4% to 5% of an employee’s annual compensation. The match was in Company Stock. The Company’s contribution for 2011, 2010 and 2009 was $208,206, $344,772 and $341,360, respectively under the “Safe Harbor” plan. In 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan. Under the terms of the Plan, the Company will provide deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees, within the meaning of Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3) and 401(a)(1) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. The Board has appointed a Committee of the Company to be the Plan Administrator and to determine the employees who are eligible to participate in the plan. The employees who participate may elect to defer a portion of their compensation into the plan. The Company may contribute into the plan at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Company did not make any contributions for 2011, 2010 and 2009. The Company has deferred compensation agreements with its Chief Executive Officer and its past Senior Vice President. The deferred compensation is payable on the retirement or death of these individuals either in annual installments over 10 years or in a lump sum settlement, if approved by the Board of Directors. The amount payable is $75,184 per year with cost of living adjustments each anniversary. The compensation agreements also provide that any remaining balance will be payable to their heirs in the event of their death. In addition, the agreements provide that the Company will pay the Group Health coverage for these individuals and/or their spouses. In 2011, the Company decreased its liability for these future obligations by $57,125 and in 2010 decreased its liability by $37,352. The current balance as of December 31, 2011 is $599,775. On July 16, 2004, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Scott M. Quist, its President and Chief Operating Officer. The agreement is effective as of December 4, 2003 and has a five-year term, but the Company has agreed to renew the agreement on December 4, 2008 and 2013 for additional five-year terms, provided Mr. Quist performs his duties with usual and customary care and diligence. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Quist is to devote his full time to the Company serving as its President, and Chief Operating Officer at not less than his current salary and benefits. The Company also agrees to maintain a group term life insurance policy of not less than $1,000,000 on Mr. Quist’s life and a whole life insurance policy in the amount of $500,000 on Mr. Quist’s life. In the event of disability, Mr. Quist’s salary would be continued for up to five years at 75% of its current level. In the event of a sale or merger of the Company and Mr. Quist is not retained in his current position, the Company would be obligated to continue Mr. Quist’s current compensation and benefits for seven years following the merger or sale. The agreement further provides that Mr. Quist is entitled to receive annual retirement benefits beginning (i) one month from the date of his retirement (to commence no sooner than age 65), (ii) five years following complete disability, or (iii) upon termination of his employment without cause. These retirement benefits are to be paid for a period of ten years in annual installments in the amount equal to 75% of his then current rate of compensation. However, in the event that Mr. Quist dies prior to receiving all retirement benefits there under, the remaining benefits are to be paid to his heirs. The Company expensed $145,036 and $144,935 in fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, to cover the present value of anticipated retirement benefits under the employment agreement. The liability accrued is $1,121,162 and $976,126 as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. On December 4, 2003, the Company, through its subsidiary SecurityNational Mortgage Company, entered into an employment agreement with J. Lynn Beckstead, Jr., Vice President of Mortgage Operations and President of SecurityNational Mortgage Company. The agreement has a five-year term, but the Company has agreed to renew the agreement on December 4, 2008 and 2013 for additional five-year terms, provided Mr. Beckstead performs his duties with usual and customary care and diligence. Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Beckstead is to devote his full time to the Company serving as President of SecurityNational Mortgage Company at not less than his current salary and benefits, and to include $350,000 of life insurance protection. In the event of disability, Mr. Beckstead’s salary would be continued for up to five years at 50% of its current level. In the event of a sale or merger of the Company and Mr. Beckstead is not retained in his current position, the Company would be obligated to continue Mr. Beckstead’s current compensation and benefits for five years following the merger or sale. The agreement further provides that Mr. Beckstead is entitled to receive annual retirement benefits beginning (i) one month from the date of his retirement (to commence no sooner than age 62½) (ii) five years following complete disability, or (iii) upon termination of his employment without cause. These retirement benefits are to be paid for a period of ten years in annual installments in the amount equal to one-half of his then current annual salary. However, in the event that Mr. Beckstead dies prior to receiving all retirement benefits there under, the remaining benefits are to be paid to his heirs. The Company expensed $58,964 and $58,923 in fiscal 2011 and 2010, respectively, to cover the present value of the retirement benefit of the agreement. The liability accrued is $533,483 and $474,519, as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
