Compensation Agreement

In California, Employment contracts are legally binding agreements that create the employer-employee relationship. An employment contract can either be created by writing, verbal agreement, or because of implied circumstances.

What is a Compensation Agreement? A Compensation Agreement is used by an employer to record a negotiated change in wage or earning potential for an employee. As an example, after a new employee completed their probationary period, the employer and employee agree to a new wage amount in the form of a raise.

Compensation may also be used as a reward for exceptional job performance. Examples of such plans include: bonuses, commissions, stock, profit sharing, gain sharing.

Compensation is the total cash and non-cash payments that you give to an employee in exchange for the work they do for your business.Compensation is more than an employee's regular paid wages. It also includes many other types of wages and benefits. Types of compensation include: Base pay (hourly or salary wages)

The commission is based on a percentage of the home sales price.Using an example sale: A home sells for $200,000 with a 5.5% commission in place, as agreed between the seller and listing broker. $200,000 with a 5.5% commission equals $11,000 in total commission.

To create an employment contract, the employer must make a specific offer and there must be acceptance of the terms of the offer by the employee.To be legally enforceable, a contract must contain an exchange of value (or, in legal terms, "consideration").

Since a sale through a One-Party Listing involves only compensation to the buyer's broker, the commission to be negotiated between the FSBO and that broker is something less than a full commission since the offer of compensation portion will not also be paid.

A retirement compensation arrangement (RCA) is a non-registered plan set up by an employer to provide benefits to an employee or group of key employees upon retirement, termination a change in service.But, earning over $80,555 per year actually results in a pension shortfall.
