Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

NOTE 6 - PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

 

The Company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan (“GR Plan”) covering certain domestic employees. Benefits are based on each covered employee’s years of service and compensation. The GR Plan is funded in conformity with the funding requirements of applicable U.S. regulations. The GR Plan was closed to new participants effective January 1, 2008. Employees hired after this date, in eligible locations, participate in an enhanced 401(k) plan instead of the GR Plan. Employees hired prior to this date continue to accrue benefits under the GR Plan.

Additionally, the Company sponsors defined contribution pension plans made available to all domestic and Canadian employees. The Company funds the cost of these benefits as incurred.

The Company also sponsors a non-contributory defined benefit postretirement health care plan that provides health benefits to certain domestic and Canadian retirees and eligible spouses and dependent children. The Company funds the cost of these benefits as incurred.

The following tables present the components of net periodic benefit costs:
