Employee Contributions vs. Employer Contributions
In most cases, employee contributions (i.e., what the employee directly put into the plan) are 100% vested immediately. However, employer contributions—like matching funds—often follow a vesting schedule. The Cvco, LLC Employee Savings Plan may have a graded or cliff vesting format, which means only a percentage of employer funds may be available for division based on the employee’s length of service at the time of divorce.
In a QDRO, we state whether the alternate payee is entitled to only the vested portion as of the date of division or a shared interest that accounts for future vesting.
