Splitting Employee and Employer Contributions
401(k) accounts like the Rodd & Gunn Usa Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan & Trust typically include both employee contributions (made from the participant’s paycheck) and employer contributions (as part of a matching or profit-sharing arrangement). When dividing the account using a QDRO, it’s important to specify:
- Whether the alternate payee (usually the ex-spouse) receives a percentage or dollar amount of the account
- If the division includes only employee contributions or both employee and employer contributions
- The inclusion or exclusion of post-divorce gains and losses
