Samantha Prince, assistant professor of law at Penn State Dickinson Law, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her article Megacompany Employee Churn Meets 401(k) Vesting Schedules: A Sabotage on Workers’ Retirement Wealth. In this article Prince problematizes the use of vesting schedules in employer-sponsored 401(k) plans, especially at companies with employee-churn rates that make it likely that few employees ever actually receive promised 401(k) matching contributions. Given the disproportionate number of people of color working in such high-churn positions, Prince observes that the 401(k)-vesting problem has downstream effects on racial wealth inequality.
