Description

The term 'vested' refers to a legal right or entitlement that has been granted and cannot be revoked. In a financial context, it often pertains to benefits such as retirement plans that an employee has earned and is entitled to receive.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'con derechos devengados' is used in formal financial contexts. Common variants may include 'derechos adquiridos' which is colloquial and should be avoided in formal settings. It's important to maintain a professional tone when discussing financial rights.

Example Sentences
