Employee vs. Employer Contributions
Most 401(k) plans, including the Kaback Enterprises, Inc.. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan, are comprised of two main contribution types:
- Employee Contributions: These are fully vested and belong entirely to the employee. The ex-spouse’s share is typically taken as a percentage or fixed dollar amount of the employee’s balance as of the division date.
- Employer Contributions: These may be subject to a vesting schedule. If not fully vested at the time of divorce, your QDRO must include future vesting provisions—if you’re entitled to a share of contributions that vest post-divorce.
