Here’s the scenario: 

Employees who have 10 or more years with the company on September 30 will be considered "vested" for an extra pension benefit.

1. Calculate each employee's number of years with the company.
2. Write a formula that will show "Vested" in Column E for those who qualify.
3. Sort the list by job title so that all the Associates are listed first, followed by Team Leads, then Senior Managers.
4. Only display vested employees.
