The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement serves as a formal contract between an employer and a key employee in Suffolk. It outlines the terms under which the employer will provide additional compensation to the employee upon retirement, ensuring their retention until that time. The agreement specifies the conditions for payment, which includes a series of equal monthly installments starting after a defined date, contingent on the employee meeting their obligations and not engaging in outside work without consent. In case of the employee’s death before full payment, the remaining balance is to be paid to the surviving spouse or estate. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who are involved in drafting employment agreements or negotiating compensation packages. It offers clear instructions on filling and editing, making it accessible even for those without extensive legal backgrounds. Its structure assists in easy comprehension, ensuring that all parties understand their obligations and rights under the agreement.
