The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement is designed specifically for use within Texas, outlining the terms under which an employee, referred to as Employee, is compensated beyond their regular pension plan upon retirement. Key features include stipulations regarding the retention of the Employee until retirement and the provision of additional income in monthly installments, contingent upon the Employee fulfilling their duties without engaging in outside business activities without the Employer's consent. The agreement further details that, in the event of the Employee's death, the remaining balance of compensations will be paid to the surviving spouse or the Employee's estate. This form serves as a valuable tool for attorneys, partners, and owners in structuring clear and legally sound compensation arrangements. It assists associates, paralegals, and legal assistants in easily filling out the form while adhering to legal guidelines. The straightforward nature of this agreement helps prevent ambiguities and protects both the Employer's and Employee's interests, making it an essential document in employment and compensation law.
