The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement is designed for use in Alameda, focusing on arrangements for post-retirement income as additional compensation for key employees. This agreement outlines the conditions under which the employee will receive deferred compensation, including specific terms such as payment amounts, schedules, and the consequences of the employee's actions in regard to outside services. Key features include a structured payment plan of equal monthly installments, provisions for payment upon the employee's death to a surviving spouse or estate, and clear obligations for both employer and employee. Filling instructions involve completing the form with specific details about the parties involved, the compensation amount, and timeline for payments. The form is especially useful for attorneys, partners, and owners who are managing compensation packages, as well as associates and paralegals who assist in drafting or modifying these agreements for legal compliance and clarity.
