Vesting

In plain English

The waiting period before your employer's contributions actually become yours to keep.

The analogy

It's a stay-a-while clause. The match is real, but you have to stick around to fully own it.

Why it matters to you

Leaving a job a month too early can mean walking away from thousands. We call knowing your schedule the Vesting Clock. Check it before you move.
