You must look at your ESOP paperwork or you can ask your employer. An ESOP must include a definite formula for allocating employer
contributions and forfeitures annually to the individual accounts of
plan participants.
Employer contributions to an ESOP are usually allocated among the
participants’ accounts in the trust which funds the plan in proportion
to the participants’ compensation from the company during the plan year.
However, the allocation can also be based on a combination of
compensation and years of service with the company. The latter option is
more complicated to administer because of IRS rules designed to
prohibit discrimination in favor of the highly compensated.
