The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement is a legal document used in Georgia to formalize compensation arrangements between an employer and a key employee. This agreement outlines the terms under which the employer will provide additional post-retirement income to the employee, incentivizing them to remain with the company until retirement. Key features include clear payment terms, including the total compensation amount and the number of monthly installments. It also specifies conditions under which the compensation rights would be forfeited, such as the employee engaging in outside business activities without consent. In the event of the employee's death prior to full payment, the agreement dictates that the remaining balance will be paid to the surviving spouse or estate. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a structured approach to deferred compensation that aids in retention strategy and succession planning. Filling and editing instructions recommend careful input of all personal and compensation details to ensure clarity and legal enforceability.
