The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement is designed for use in Florida and outlines the terms under which an employer agrees to provide additional compensation to a key employee until their retirement. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need to establish clear financial commitments to retain valuable employees. The agreement specifies that if the employee fulfills their duties until a designated date, they will receive a lump sum as deferred compensation, paid in monthly installments. Importantly, the agreement includes a provision that terminates the compensation if the employee engages in business activities with others without the employer’s consent. Additionally, it addresses the event of the employee's death, ensuring that remaining payments go to their spouse or estate. To fill out the form, users must provide specific details, such as names, dates, and compensation amounts, ensuring accuracy in completion. The straightforward structure of the form facilitates easy editing and understanding, making it accessible to users with varying levels of legal experience.
