The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement is designed for use in Minnesota and outlines the terms under which an Employer provides a key Employee with additional compensation as a retirement benefit. This form specifies the conditions under which the Employee will receive payments, including a deferred sum payable in monthly installments over time. Key features include provisions for the termination of the Employee's rights to these payments if they engage in services for other entities without consent, and stipulations on payment to the Employee's spouse or estate in the event of their death. Filling instructions involve entering specific details such as names, addresses, compensation amounts, and signatures. This agreement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it helps in drafting clear compensation plans that ensure employee retention while complying with legal standards. The straightforward instructions make it accessible for individuals with varying levels of legal experience.
