The Company includes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within the provision for income taxes and in "Other non-current
liabilities" in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Interest and penalties included in the Company's provision for income taxes were not material in all the periods
presented.
The Company files U.S. Federal, state and foreign tax returns. The Company is currently under examination by the IRS for years 2016 through 2018 and
is subject to examination for 2019 and 2020. The foreign and state tax returns for years 2015 through 2020 are subject to examination by various states and
foreign jurisdictions. While the Company is in various stages of inquiries and examinations for some state and federal taxing authorities, we believe that our tax
positions will more likely than not be sustained. Nonetheless, it is possible that future obligations related to these matters could arise.
Given the potential outcome of the current examinations as well as the impact of the current examinations on the potential expiration of the statute of
limitations, it is reasonably possible that the balance of unrecognized tax benefits could significantly change within the next twelve months. However, an
estimate of the range of reasonably possible adjustments cannot be made at this time.
11. Employee Benefit Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) savings plan covering substantially all of its employees. Eligible employees may contribute up to 80% of their annual
salary through payroll deductions, but not more than the statutory limits set by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company matches employee contributions at
the discretion of the Board. During 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company's matching contributions totaled $85 million, $69 million and $47 million, respectively.
Multiemployer Benefit Plans
The Company contributes to various multiemployer defined pension plans under the terms of collective bargaining agreements that cover our
union-represented employees. The risks of participating in multiemployer pension plans are different from single-employer plans such that (i) contributions
made by the Company to the multiemployer pension plans may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers; (ii) if the Company
chooses to stop participating in the multiemployer pension plans, it may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan;
and (iii) if the Company stops contributing to the multiemployer pension plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may become the obligation of the
remaining participating employers. The Company also contributes to various other multiemployer benefit plans that provide health and welfare benefits to both
active and retired participants. The Company does not participate in any multiemployer benefit plans that are individually significant to the Company.
