Employee and Employer Contribution Division
Employee contributions are 100% owned by the participant, so they’re usually easy to divide. But sometimes there’s a match or profit-sharing contribution from the employer. These are often subject to a vesting schedule. Under the River Crest Country Club Retirement Plan and Trust, employer contributions may not be fully vested at the time of divorce.
Here’s what that means: The alternate payee (the spouse receiving a portion of the benefit) will only receive the vested portion at the time of division unless the QDRO states otherwise. Any unvested amounts can be forfeited if the employee leaves the company before becoming fully vested.
