The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement is designed to formalize an agreement between an employer and a key employee, ensuring that the employee is compensated beyond regular pension benefits upon retirement. This agreement specifies that if the employee remains in the company's service until a designated retirement date, they will receive additional payments in equal monthly installments. It also outlines provisions for termination of these payments if the employee engages in outside business activities without consent. In the event of the employee's death before full payment, any remaining balance will be paid to the surviving spouse or the employee's estate. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in employment law or compensation negotiations, as it provides a clear framework for deferred compensation arrangements. Completing this form requires filling in relevant details such as names, dates, and payment amounts, simplifying discussions around employee benefits. It helps legal professionals navigate complex compensation negotiations while ensuring both parties' interests are protected.
