What is a vesting deed?
When referring to employment benefits, vesting is the amount of time to ownership to the employer's contribution to his or her accrued benefits. In the case of a pension, an employer makes contributions to an employee's retirement plans over the course of his or her employment. Generally, the employee must complete a certain amount of time before he or she has rights to the employer contributions in the pension plan. Plan benefits are said to "vest" at the end of that time period. Example: An employee receives $1,000 a year in employer contributions to his/her pension plan, with 50% vesting after 2 years of employment and 100% vesting after 3 years of employment. [To keep it simple, assume 0% returns in the pension plan.] If the employee quits at the beginning of his/her third year of employment, he or she is entitled to $1,000 * 2 years of employer contributions * 50% = $1,000 in the pension plan. If the employee quits at beginning of his/her fourth year of employment, at retirement, he or she is entitled to $1,000 * 3 years of employer contributions * 100% = $3,000 in the pension plan.
