Maximum employer match, as a share of pay

3%

ENVIRI Corp matches 50% of the first 6% of pay.

ENVIRI's Form 11-K filings for plan year 2024 describe two separate 401(k) plans. The terms on this page are read from the Enviri Corporation Savings Plan. They do not all state the same match, so each one is listed below with the group it covers and what it pays.

From the Form 11-K filed June 20, 2025, covering the plan year ended December 31, 2024. Page data last updated July 28, 2026, when the Form 5500 bulk data was last refreshed. Why filings lag

What ENVIRI puts in, and what the plan costs

What ENVIRI put into the plan, per active participant

$1,119

ENVIRI Corp put $1,119 into this plan for each of its 1,995 active participants in plan year 2024. This is the whole employer side of the plan: matching money, profit sharing, non-elective and safe-harbor contributions, and reallocated forfeitures. The Form 5500 does not separate them, so this is what the employer put in and not the match.

0 · least per person100 · most per person

ENVIRI put in less per active participant than 76% of plans with 500–999 participants in medical devices and other manufacturing. The middle plan in that group of 196 reported $2,206. Medical devices and other manufacturing comes from business code 339900, which ENVIRI entered on its own Form 5500. Sponsors pick that code themselves, so a code that does not describe what the employer does ranks the plan against the wrong companies.

Matched to this employer by sponsor name, not by an identifier stated in the filing. This record could cover another plan of the same employer.

What this figure cannot separate: how much ENVIRI pays, and how much it puts in

This is dollars, not a rate. A Form 5500 carries no payroll, so the figure reflects both how much the employer puts in and how much the employer pays: two plans running the same formula report different amounts when one pays better. Crossing the peer group with industry holds most of that difference still, and none of it disappears.

This is one plan year, not an average. A true-up, a plan merger or a one-off contribution moves a single year on its own.

The $1,119 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. ENVIRI Corp also files a Form 11-K, which states the match formula for plan year 2024: the card below reads $1,485 a year at a $49,500 salary, and the same filing states employer contributions made outside the match. That second figure is what the formula pays one worker on that salary, and not an amount either filing reports. The two figures measure different things, so neither one is the other one corrected.

The match paragraph, word for word
The Company makes matching contributions equal to 50% of the first 6% of a participant's contributions.

What you contribute to collect all of it

Contribute at least 6% of your pay to collect the full match.

That is $2,970 a year at a $49,500 salary, and it scales with your own.

It measures vesting speed and nothing else. It says nothing about the size of the match, what the plan charges, or the funds inside it.

Vesting scheduleGraded, full at 3 years

Share of the employer's money that is the worker's at hire and at each of the first 6 anniversaries: 0%, 33.33%, 66.67%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%. The score is the average of those 7 readings.

Vesting, word for word
Participants are immediately vested in their contributions, plus actual earnings thereon. The participants are 100% vested upon death, disability or the attainment of normal retirement age. Contributions made by the Company are subject to a cliff vesting schedule after three years of credited service for profit sharing contributions. Prior to January 1, 2024, employer matching contributions were also subject to this three-year cliff vesting schedule. Effective January 1, 2024, the vesting of the Plan's employer matching contributions was changed to vest on a pro-rata basis over three years.

The wait before the match starts and the year-end true-up appear above when the filing states them. Neither is part of the score, and a filing that is silent on one of them is not a plan without it.

What is ENVIRI's 401(k) match formula?

ENVIRI's 401(k) employer match tops out at 3% of pay. One rate up to one limit is the commonest of the four shapes a match formula takes.

Match formula50% of the first 6% of pay
Maximum employer match3% of compensation
Other employer contributionThe Company may also make discretionary contributions, also referred to as profit sharing contributions, to the Plan under agreements with certain employee bargaining groups. These contributions may be based on a percentage of employee earnings or a fixed amount per hour worked by the employee. The Company makes annual contributions based on the union agreement requirements. During 2024, the Company made a profit sharing contribution of $31 thousand.

At a $45,000 salary, contributing 6% ($2,700) earns the full employer match of $1,350 for the year.

What is ENVIRI's 401(k) vesting schedule?

ENVIRI vests the employer match on a graded schedule: 33.33% after one year, rising to 100% after three. Each step is money that leaves with you that year, which is how a graded schedule differs from a cliff.
