Employee vs. Employer Contributions
Not all balances in a 401(k) are equal. The employee’s salary deferrals typically belong solely to the participant. But employer contributions, especially in a corporate structure like Inductev Inc.. 401(k) plan, may be subject to a vesting schedule. That means a portion of those funds could be forfeited if the employee leaves the company before fully vesting. In a QDRO, we must specify whether the alternate payee receives only vested amounts or is awarded a defined percentage of total contributions subject to vesting.
