28.10 Inclusion of both vested and unvested benefits
28.10.1 Extract from FRS102: Section 28.16

28.16  The present value of an entity’s obligations under defined benefit plans at the reporting date shall reflect the estimated amount of benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, including benefits that are not yet vested (see paragraph 28.26) and including the effects of benefit formulas that give employees greater benefits for later years of service. This requires the entity to determine how much benefit is attributable to the current and prior periods on the basis of the plan’s benefit formula and to make estimates (actuarial assumptions) about demographic variables (such as employee turnover and mortality) and financial variables (such as future increases in salaries and medical costs) that influence the cost of the benefit. The actuarial assumptions shall be unbiased (neither imprudent nor excessively conservative), mutually compatible, and selected to lead to the best estimate of the future cash flows that will arise under the plan.

28.10.2 OmniPro comment

Appendix I of FRS 102 defines vested benefits as ‘benefits, the rights to which, under the condition of the retirement benefit plan, are not conditional on continued employment’. An un-vested benefit is the opposite of this i.e. the benefit will be payable only on continued employment. So when valuing the liabilities, the unvested benefits also need to be taken into account. When determining the cost of the un-vested benefits an estimate can be made as to the number of staff that are likely to remain with the entity. Under old GAAP this was not required.


Example 12: Non-vesting conditions

Company A’s defined benefit scheme provides a lump sum benefit of CU100 for every year of service for the first 20 years and will only be applied to the employees’ pension if they stay for 15 years. In this instance, even though the condition is unvested in years 1-15 the standard requires an amount of CU5 to be included in the present value of the pension liabilities for each year the employee is present at each year end. A percentage can then be applied to this CU5 if the entity believes some employees will leave in this period. Also where benefits increase after a certain period of time the costs should be apportioned over the total life.
