1. Employee vs. Employer Contributions
The Quincy Recycle Paper Inc.. Employees Savings Trust may include both employee deferrals (what the employee set aside from their paychecks) and employer contributions (such as matching contributions made by Quincy recycle paper Inc.. employees savings trust). During divorce, these need to be addressed separately in the QDRO:
- Employee contributions are typically considered marital property if earned during the marriage.
- Employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule and must be handled carefully in the order.
The QDRO should clarify how each component is divided. For example, if only vested employer contributions are to be shared, this should be spelled out explicitly.
