Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Related Party Transactions	RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS In connection with the Separation, we entered into the Agreements with Fortive which govern the Separation and provide a framework for the relationship between the parties going forward, including an employee matters agreement, a tax matters agreement, an intellectual property matters agreement, an FBS license agreement and a transition services agreement. Employee Matters Agreement The employee matters agreement sets forth, among other things, the allocation of assets, liabilities and responsibilities relating to employee compensation and benefit plans and programs and other related matters in connection with the Separation, including the treatment of outstanding equity and other incentive awards and certain retirement and welfare benefit obligations. Tax Matters Agreement The tax matters agreement governs the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of both Fortive and Vontier after the Separation with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, the control of audits and other tax proceedings and other matters regarding taxes. Intellectual Property Matters Agreement The intellectual property matters agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Fortive and Vontier have mutually granted certain personal, generally irrevocable, non-exclusive, worldwide, and royalty-free rights to use certain intellectual property. Both parties are able to sublicense their rights in connection with activities relating to their businesses, but not for independent use by third parties. FBS License Agreement The FBS license agreement sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Fortive has granted a non-exclusive, worldwide, non-transferable, perpetual license to us to use FBS solely in support of our businesses. We are able to sublicense such license solely to direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. Transition Services Agreement (“TSA”) The TSA sets forth the terms and conditions pursuant to which Vontier and our subsidiaries and Fortive and its subsidiaries will provide to each other various services after the Separation. The services to be provided include information technology, facilities, certain accounting and other financial functions, and administrative services. The charges for the transition services generally are expected to allow the providing company to fully recover all out-of-pocket costs and expenses it actually incurs in connection with providing the service, plus, in some cases, the allocated indirect costs of providing the services, generally without profit. TSA Payments In accordance with the TSA, receipts from Fortive were immaterial during the three and nine months ended October 1, 2021. During the nine months ended October 1, 2021, we made net payments to Fortive of $48.5 million. Net payments during the nine months ended October 1, 2021 included approximately $30 million of our share of the transaction taxes related to the Separation. Net payments made during the three months ended October 1, 2021 were not significant. Net payments made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were not significant.
