The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement serves to formalize an arrangement between an employer and a key employee regarding additional compensation that is deferred until retirement. This agreement outlines the conditions under which the employee receives a specified sum, payable in monthly installments, contingent upon their continued employment and fulfillment of job duties. It also stipulates that if the employee engages in employment elsewhere without consent, their rights to the deferred compensation will terminate. Key features include the acknowledgment of the employer's desire to retain the employee until retirement and provisions for payment to the employee's spouse or estate in the event of the employee's death. The form is useful for attorneys, business partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who are involved in drafting compensation agreements. It provides clear editing instructions, including filling in necessary personal and employment information. Legal professionals can rely on this form to establish deferred compensation arrangements effectively, facilitating compliance with state laws while securing key talents for their organizations.
