1. Employee vs. Employer Contributions
401(k) plans consist of two contribution sources: what the employee contributes and what the employer matches or adds through profit-sharing. When dividing the Atcsi LLC 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan, both types of contributions should be included in the QDRO unless otherwise specified in the marital settlement agreement or judgment.
Employee contributions are typically 100% vested; the participant owns them outright. Employer contributions, however, may be subject to vesting schedules—meaning they may not all be fully owned by the employee.
