An employee was recently moved from a foreign entity to the US entity of the same company that sponsors a 401(k). They are a resident non-citizen with US income now.
Should the original hire date form the foreign entity be used for crediting service for vesting? Or the date that they moved to the US and began employment with the US entity?
The plan document is mum on the topic; no provisions that state how to credit service based on service at the foreign entities. The plan has immediate entry but ER contributions have a vesting schedule.
Thank you in advance.
