Employee and Employer Contributions
The Altex Electronics, Ltd.. Employees’ 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust likely includes both employee deferrals and employer matching or profit-sharing contributions. These need to be divided properly in your QDRO.
A participant’s own contributions (and the investment earnings on them) are fully owned and usually fully transferable. However, employer contributions may be subject to a “vesting schedule.” Unvested contributions—those the participant hasn’t earned due to lack of tenure—may not be divisible and could be forfeited if the employee leaves before becoming fully vested.
