Employee Compensation and Benefits

Note 6 - Employee Compensation and Benefits

 

The Company has employee benefit plans in the form of certain statutory and other programs covering its employees.

 

Defined Benefit Plan - Gratuity

 

The Company has subsidiaries in India and Mexico with employees covered by defined benefit plans. We have defined benefit plans comprised of gratuity under Payments of Gratuity Act, 1972 covering eligible employees in India & Federal Labor Law in Mexico. The present value of the defined benefit obligations and other long-term employee benefits is determined based on actuarial valuation using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount defined benefit obligation is determined by reference to market yields at the balance sheet date of government bonds for respective regions for the estimated term of obligations.

 

Actuarial gains or losses arising on account of experience adjustment and the effect of changes in actuarial assumptions are initially recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, and the unrecognized actuarial loss is amortized to the condensed consolidated statements of operations over the average remaining service period of the active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.

 

On November 21, 2025, the Government of India notified provisions of the Labour Codes - the Code on Wages, 2019, the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, the Code on Social Security, 2020, and the Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020 - consolidating 29 existing labour laws. The Company has assessed and disclosed the incremental impact of these changes on the basis of valuation & best information available. The adjustments for the Labour Codes represent an increase in gratuity liability arising out of past service cost by $31 primarily due to change in wage definition which is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income/(loss) for the nine months ended December 31, 2025. The Company continues to monitor the finalization of Central / State Rules and clarifications from the Government on other aspects of the Labour Code.
