18. RESTRUCTURING

In February 2019, we announced the restructuring of our workforce predominantly in Germany, which included the closure of the office location in Munich, Germany accompanied by relocation or severance benefits for the affected employees. The restructuring is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2019. The cumulative amount incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to this restructuring program is $1.8 million. We also offered a voluntary early retirement offering to certain other employees which was announced to employees in March 2019. As of March 31, 2019, we did not have sufficient information on which to estimate an additional liability associated with the voluntary early retirement program.

In January 2018, we announced an early retirement incentive program for employees that met certain requirements. The cumulative amount incurred during the year ended December 31, 2018 related to this restructuring program was $7.3 million, of which $6.0 million was incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2018. We do not expect to incur any additional expenses related to this restructuring program.

A reconciliation of the beginning and ending restructuring liability, which is included in accrued wages and benefits on the Consolidated Balance Sheet, is as follows:
