The Deferred Compensation Agreement outlines the terms under which an employer provides additional post-retirement income to an employee in Massachusetts. This agreement is designed to retain key employees and includes stipulations for benefits upon retirement, death before or after retirement, and non-competition clauses. Key features include the determination of retirement age, monthly payment calculations based on the National Consumer Price Index, and penalties for termination of employment under specified conditions. Filling instructions require the user to enter details such as names, addresses, retirement age, and payment amounts where indicated. This form is especially useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it facilitates the formalization of employee benefits, ensuring compliance with state laws and providing clarity on entitlements and obligations. The document serves to protect both parties by clearly outlining consequences for non-compliance and methods for resolving disputes through arbitration.
