The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement is designed to formalize an agreement between an employer and a key employee in Queens, providing a deferred compensation plan that incentivizes the employee to remain with the company until retirement. The agreement outlines the conditions under which the employee will receive additional compensation post-retirement, which exceeds regular pension plan benefits. Key features include a monthly payment structure, where the employee is entitled to a sum payable in equal installments, and stipulations that the compensation may be terminated if the employee engages in external services without consent.
