Employee vs. Employer Contributions
The distinction between what the employee contributed and what the employer matched is vital. Employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule dictated by the Roller Rabbit 401(k) Plan. This means only a portion of employer contributions may be available for division—depending on how long the employee has worked at Roller rabbit LLC.
If a spouse is awarded 50% of the account but half the balance is unvested employer contributions, the actual division will be far less than expected unless the QDRO accounts for it. We’ve seen many cases go sideways because the QDRO didn’t correctly identify the division of vested and unvested funds.
