Employee vs. Employer Contributions
The Sailpoint Technologies Inc.. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan and Trust likely contains both employee contributions (from the participant’s paycheck) and employer profit-sharing or matching funds. This can complicate division if employer contributions are subject to a vesting schedule.
We usually recommend that the QDRO separates vested from unvested amounts. You may choose from options like:
- Splitting only vested funds as of the cutoff date (often the date of divorce or separation)
- Delaying distribution of the alternate payee’s share until after full vesting (less common)
