Restructuring Charges

In June 2015, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to re-align the organization to support the Company's sensor processing provider business model and growth strategy. This re-alignment resulted in a reduction of nine employees or 9% of the Company's global workforce. Pursuant to the restructuring plan, the Company initially recorded $169,000 of restructuring liabilities, consisting primarily of employee severance related costs. In the third quarter the Company incurred additional restructuring charges of $77,000 and paid-off $131,000 of the liabilities previously accrued. The additional restructuring charges in the third quarter were primarily related to the closing of its Canadian subsidiary at the end of 2015. The restructuring liabilities are included in the "Liabilities" line item in the consolidated balance sheet. The activities affecting the restructuring liabilities for the nine months ended September 27, 2015 are summarized as follows:
