Employee vs. Employer Contributions
The Luzco Technologies LLC 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust likely includes both employee deferrals and employer profit-sharing contributions. These are treated differently in a divorce:
- Employee Contributions: Always 100% vested and transferable.
- Employer Contributions: Often subject to a vesting schedule—only the vested portion can be allocated by the QDRO.
If the participant has been with the company for a short time, their employer portion may be partially or entirely unvested—meaning the alternate payee cannot receive that share. This needs to be accounted for in the QDRO language.
