Vesting is an issue in conjunction with employer contributions to an employee stock option plan, or to a retirement plan such as a 401(k), annuity or pension plan.

A vested right is "an absoluted right; when a retirement plan is 100% vested, the employee has an absolute right to the entire amount of money in the account." It is a "basic right that has been granted, or has accrued, and cannot be taken away. Example: one's right to a vested pension."

There is two type of vesting, graded and cliff.

Graded means you get a certain percentage of your employer contribution each year, until you're fully vested. A five year grated plan would mean that you would have access to 20% of your employer contribution the first year, 40% the second, and so on.

Cliff means that you have no acces whatsoever, until your worked your vesting period. A five year cliff vesting period means you have no access to the employer contribution, until your worked that full 5 year period.

What does vested mean?

Are you asking in terms of 'vesting'? Such as in stock options or 401K? If so, it just means you earn the right to what ever it is. So, if the company contributes to your 401K but you're not vested, the money isn't yours. If you are 20% vested, then 20% of what they contributed is now your money.
