The Short Form of Deferred Compensation Agreement is a legal document designed for employers in Washington to outline compensation plans for key employees, such as sales managers. This agreement aims to retain the employee until retirement by offering additional post-retirement income, augmenting the standard pension plan. Key features include a specified sum payable in monthly installments, conditional on the employee’s continued service and performance of their duties. Should the employee engage in outside business activities without the employer's consent, entitlement to these payments will terminate. The agreement also stipulates that in the event of the employee's death, any unpaid balance will be transitioned to the surviving spouse or the employee's estate. Filling out the form requires attention to specific details such as the employer's name, employee’s position, payment terms, and relevant dates. This form serves a variety of audiences, including attorneys who may draft or review the agreement, partners and owners looking to implement effective compensation strategies, associates ensuring compliance, and paralegals or legal assistants tasked with preparing documentation and managing records.
