In the context of a trust that provides participatory rights to employees, vested rights and unvested rights can be defined as follows:
- Vested Rights: These are rights that employees have earned and are entitled to, regardless of their employment status. Once vested, these rights cannot be taken away.
- Unvested Rights: These are rights that employees have not yet earned. They are often contingent on fulfilling certain conditions, such as continued employment for a specific period.
