Vesting and Forfeitures Clause Samples

The "Vesting and Forfeitures" clause defines the conditions under which an individual earns the right to certain benefits, such as stock options or retirement plan contributions, and the circumstances that may cause them to lose these rights. Typically, this clause outlines a schedule or milestones that must be met for benefits to become fully owned (vested), and specifies events—such as resignation, termination for cause, or failure to meet performance targets—that can result in forfeiture of unvested benefits. Its core function is to incentivize continued service or performance while protecting the company from granting benefits to individuals who do not fulfill agreed-upon obligations.
