Cliff Vesting Sample Clauses
Cliff vesting is a provision that requires an individual to complete a minimum period of service before gaining any rights to certain benefits, such as stock options or retirement plan contributions. Under this arrangement, no vesting occurs until the specified 'cliff' date is reached—for example, an employee may need to work for one year before any shares or benefits become theirs. This clause ensures that only those who remain with the company for a set period receive the benefits, helping employers retain talent and avoid granting benefits to short-term employees.
