The Deferred Compensation Form for small business owners in Virginia is designed to facilitate an agreement between an employer and a key employee regarding additional compensation that will be paid after retirement. This form outlines the terms under which an employee, who is critical to the operation of the business, will receive a specified sum of money in monthly installments, contingent upon their continued employment until a designated date. One unique feature is the clause that terminates the employee's right to this compensation if they engage in any outside work without the employer's written consent. Additionally, it stipulates that in the event of the employee's death before full payment occurs, the remaining balance will be paid to the surviving spouse or the estate. The form's straightforward structure makes it easy to fill out and edit, with clear sections for both parties to enter their details. This engagement is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need to retain key talent while offering post-retirement income, incentivizing loyalty, and ensuring compliance with employment laws. By using this form, small business owners can provide security for their employees while protecting their business interests.
