1. Employee vs. Employer Contributions
In dividing the Two Caterers Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan Trust, it’s important to separately address employee contributions (what the participant put into the plan) and employer contributions (profit sharing or matching). Employee contributions are generally 100% vested immediately, but employer contributions may follow a vesting schedule. Your QDRO needs to specify what portion of each contribution type is being awarded to the alternate payee (former spouse).
