Description

The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement outlines the terms under which an employer provides additional post-retirement income to an employee, intended to encourage the employee's long-term service with the company. It specifies that if the employee remains employed until a designated retirement date and fulfills their job responsibilities, they will receive a set sum as additional compensation, to be paid in monthly installments. Notably, the agreement stipulates that if the employee engages in outside business activities without prior written consent, their entitlement to compensation will be voided. Provisions are also made for the payment of the remaining balance to a surviving spouse or estate in the event of the employee's death before full payment. This form is particularly useful for employers seeking to retain key personnel long-term and for employees who wish to secure retirement benefits beyond standard pension plans. Target audiences such as attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants will benefit from this document as it provides a clear framework for negotiating deferred compensation upon employment cessation and ensures compliance with legal standards.
