While this is true, it doesn't mean that our payout is less.

Other employee groups have changed (reduced) their participation rate in profit sharing, so, if the company made the exact same total profit in 2016 as they did in 2015, the total dollars spent on profit sharing company wide would drop substantially.

So, comparing the dollars set aside for profit sharing this year versus last year won't give you a direct correlation to our change in profit sharing payout.
