( 3 ) | RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
EMS Segment Restructuring and Facility Consolidation On September 21, 2020, we notified employees in our Fremont, California facility of a plan to consolidate all manufacturing for our EMS segment into our manufacturing operations located in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. The consolidation was substantially completed during the fourth quarter of 2020 and resulted in the termination of employment for certain employees at the Fremont location. Prior to the consolidation, our interface products were manufactured in the Fremont facility, and our manipulator and docking hardware products were manufactured in the Mt. Laurel facility. The consolidation was undertaken to better serve customers through streamlined operations and reduce the fixed annual operating costs for the EMS segment. A small engineering and sales office will be maintained in northern California. As a result of the consolidation, we incurred charges for severance and other one -time termination benefits, other associated costs, including moving and production start-up costs, and charges related to exiting the facility, including an impairment charge related to the ROU asset for the lease of the Fremont facility, which are more fully discussed in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in our 2020 Form 10 -K. During the first quarter of 2021, we incurred $55 of additional charges associated with finalizing the integration of the manufacturing operations. All of these charges were cash charges. We expect to complete the integration in the second quarter of 2021 and expect to incur additional cash charges in the range of $50 to $100. Other Restructuring Actions During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded cash charges for severance and other one -time termination benefits of $8 related to headcount reductions in our corporate office. Accrued Restructuring The liability for accrued restructuring charges is included in other current liabilities on our consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the amount of the liability for accrued restructuring for the three months ended March 31, 2021 is as follows:
Balance - January 1, 2021 |  | $ | 340 |
Accruals for other costs associated with the EMS segment facility consolidation |  |  | 55 |
Cash payments |  |  | (138 | )
Balance - March 31, 2021 |  | $ | 257 |
