1. Employee and Employer Contributions
The Warco Retirement Plan likely includes both employee salary deferrals and matching contributions from Warco construction, Inc… These should be separately identified in the QDRO. Generally, the alternate payee is awarded a portion of the total account balance as of a specific date (usually the date of separation or divorce).
It’s also important to understand whether the employer contributions are fully vested. If not, the alternate payee could be awarded more than the participant is entitled to keep, leading to complications later.
