Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract] |
Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans | Pension and Postretirement Benefit Plans The Company and its subsidiaries sponsor multiple defined benefit plans that cover certain employees. Postretirement benefit plans, other than pensions, provide healthcare benefits for certain eligible employees. Benefits are primarily based on years of service and the employee’s compensation. Pension Plans The Company has both funded and unfunded pension benefit plans. It is the Company’s policy to fund such plans in accordance with applicable laws and regulations in order to ensure adequate funds are available in the plans to make benefit payments to plan participants and beneficiaries when required. The components of the Company's pension related costs for the following periods are as follows:

Postretirement Plans The Company sponsors several Non-U.S. postretirement plans that provide healthcare benefits to cover certain eligible employees. These plans have no plan assets, but instead are funded by the Company on a pay-as-you-go basis in the form of direct benefit payments. The components of the Company's postretirement related costs for the following periods are as follows:

For the nine months ended September 27, 2014 and September 28, 2013, reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) totaled less than $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

At September 27, 2014, Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was a loss of 37.1 million, of which $15.8 million related to pension and postretirement benefit plans. Defined Contribution Plans The Company sponsors several defined contribution plans through its domestic subsidiaries covering employees who meet certain service requirements. The Company makes matching contributions to the plans based upon a percentage of the employees’ contribution in the case of its 401(k) plans or upon a percentage of the employees’ salary or hourly wages in the case of its non-contributory money purchase plans.
