Employee and Employer Contributions
Participants in the Matrix Technologies Profit Sharing & Savings Plan may have two types of contributions:
- Employee deferrals: These are straightforward. Anything contributed from the participant’s paycheck during the marriage is usually considered marital property.
- Employer contributions: These contributions often come with a vesting schedule. That matters. If a portion of the employer-contributed balance isn’t vested at the time of divorce, it may not be available for division.
We recommend clearly stating vesting terms in your QDRO—especially if the non-participant spouse is awarded a proportional share of the marital portion. That way, any forfeitures or delays tied to vesting can be handled fairly.
