COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation Various suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against us. We conduct business throughout the continental United States and may be subject to jury verdicts or arbitrations that result in outcomes in favor of the plaintiffs. We are also exposed to various claims abroad. We continually assess our contingent liabilities, including potential litigation liabilities, as well as the adequacy of our accruals and our need for the disclosure of these items. We establish a provision for a contingent liability when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount is reasonably approximated. We have $0.7 million of other liabilities related to litigation that is deemed probable and reasonably estimated as of September 30, 2013 . We do not believe that the disposition of any of these matters will result in an additional loss materially in excess of amounts that have been recorded. During the second quarter of 2013, two lawsuits with similar allegations of violations of California's wage and hour laws were filed in California. The lawsuits allege failure to pay overtime, failure to pay minimum wages, improper payroll deductions, failure to pay final wages in a timely manner, and violations of the California meal and break period laws, among other claims. We intend to vigorously investigate and defend these actions; however, because these cases are in the very early stages, we cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits at this time and, accordingly, cannot estimate any possible loss or range of loss. Self-Insurance Reserves We maintain reserves for workers  compensation and vehicle liability on our balance sheet based on our judgment and estimates using an actuarial method based on claims incurred. We estimate general liability claims on a case-by-case basis. We maintain insurance policies for workers  compensation, vehicle liability and general liability claims. These insurance policies carry self-insured retention limits or deductibles
