The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement is designed for use between an employer and an employee, outlining a deferred compensation arrangement. This agreement facilitates the retention of key employees by offering additional income after retirement, above what is provided by a standard pension plan. Key features include the identification of the parties involved, the terms of compensation, and provisions for payment in installments. Additionally, it details conditions under which benefits may be forfeited, such as engaging in external employment without consent, and outlines the process for compensation disbursement in the event of the employee's death. Users—attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants—can find this form useful for drafting tailored agreements that ensure compliance while protecting both employer and employee interests. Specific instructions for filling include entering names, addresses, dates, compensation amounts, and signatures, making it accessible even for those with limited legal experience.
