Defined Benefit Plan Sample Clauses
A Defined Benefit Plan clause outlines the employer's obligation to provide employees with a predetermined retirement benefit, typically calculated based on factors such as salary history and years of service. This clause specifies the formula used to determine the benefit amount and details the conditions under which employees become eligible for these benefits, such as vesting requirements or retirement age. Its core practical function is to ensure employees have a clear understanding of their future retirement income, while also obligating the employer to fund and manage the plan to meet these commitments.
