Description

The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement is designed for a corporation to establish a deferred compensation arrangement with a key employee. This agreement highlights that the employer aims to retain the employee until retirement by offering additional compensation beyond the regular pension plan. Key features include the payment terms, which specify a lump sum amount and a monthly installment schedule, and conditions regarding the employee’s continued service without engaging in outside business activities without consent. In case of the employee’s death before full payment, the agreement provides for a lump sum payment to the surviving spouse or the employee's estate. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, and business owners looking to incentivize key employees while ensuring compliance with legal standards. It can also benefit associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in drafting and reviewing employee contracts, ensuring they understand the implications of deferred compensation agreements for long-term employee retention strategies.
