12. PENSION PLAN

The Company’s Canadian subsidiary sponsors a defined benefit pension plan at one of its locations in which a majority of its employees are members. The subsidiary funds 100% of all contributions to the plan. The benefits, or the rate per year of credit service, are established by the Company and updated at its discretion.

The components of the expense the Company incurred under the pension plan are included in Income from discontinued operations, net of income taxes, in the Consolidated Statements of operations.

The components of the expense the Company incurred under the pension plan are as follows:

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 30,						June 30,
	2019			2018			2019			2018
Current service cost, net of employee contributions	$	14		$	14		$	29		$	31
Interest cost on accrued benefit obligation		26			25			52			50

Amortization of net actuarial gain		11			14			24			28
Total cost of benefit	$	14		$	12		$	33		$	29

The Company’s policy is to fund the pension plan at or above the minimum level required by law. The Company made $30 and $36 of contributions to its defined benefit pension plan during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Changes in the discount rate and actual investment returns that are lower than the long-term expected return on plan assets could result in the Company making additional contributions.
