Employee vs. Employer Contributions
Most 401(k) plans include both employee deferrals and employer matching. However, employer contributions may be subject to a vesting schedule. That means the participant may not own 100% of the employer money unless they’ve worked a certain number of years. When dividing the Triton Health Systems, LLC.LLC.LLC. 401(k) Retirement Plan, it’s crucial to:
- Determine which portion of the account is fully vested
- Exclude unvested employer contributions unless agreed otherwise
- Acknowledge any forfeitures post-divorce due to employment termination
