Employee vs. Employer Contributions
Most 401(k) accounts include both employee contributions (the money the employee puts in) and employer contributions (the company match). However, employer contributions often come with a vesting schedule. That means some of the balance might not belong to the employee yet and can’t be divided with the spouse.
When dividing the Global Wireless Solutions, Inc.. 401(k) Plan, it’s critical to:
- Determine which contributions are vested
- Exclude unvested employer dollars from the division
- Account for future vesting if applicable (this requires careful drafting)
