Cliff Vesting

What Does It Mean?
What Does Cliff Vesting Mean?
A type of vesting that occurs entirely at a specified time rather than gradually. 
Investopedia Says
Investopedia explains Cliff Vesting
Until the specified time there is no vesting, at which point the benefit becomes fully vested. For example if an employee contributes to an employer-matched pension plan, the employer's contributions become property of the employee all at once rather than gradually.
