Vesting Schedules and Employer Contributions
In profit sharing plans like the The Havi Group Limited Partnership Profit Sharing and Savings Plan, employer contributions often come with vesting schedules. This means that some of the funds may not fully belong to the employee until a certain period of service has passed.
When creating your QDRO, be very specific about how to handle unvested amounts. A QDRO can only assign rights to the vested portion unless you expressly agree to share non-vested amounts if/when they vest. That can get complex, so it’s critical to spell it out clearly to avoid issues later.
