Vesting is that which occurs when an employee gets a nonforfeitable right to receive pension benefits. The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) provides for the immediate vesting of each employee's own contributions to a pension plan. ERISA also requires employers' contributions to be either (1) totally vested after five years (cliff vesting) or (2) gradually vested over a seven-year period and completely vested after that time.
