The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement is a legal document designed for employers wishing to provide additional compensation to key employees as a retirement incentive. This agreement outlines the terms under which an employee will receive a deferred payment, stipulating that the employee must remain with the employer until a specified retirement date and perform all required duties. Key features include the payment amount, the structure of monthly installments, and provisions for payment to the employee's estate in case of death before full payment is made. To fill out the form, users should enter the relevant names, amounts, and dates, ensuring all sections are accurately completed. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in compensation planning or employee retention strategies. It provides a clear framework for deferred compensation that can enhance employee loyalty and secure long-term employment relationships.
