The new deferred compensation rules affect many types of executive compensation vehicles, but is it true that these rules are so broad that they require us to change the way we structure pay arrangements, such as severance arrangements and bonus payments as well as payments to non-executive employees?
Human resources executives, management and in-house counsel alike are invited to attend. Speakers from the firm's Employee Benefits Practice Group: Rene Toadvine, Steve Friedman, and Kevin Wright will present the breadth of these new rules. The rules define deferred compensation to include certain severance arrangements, settlement agreements, payments under employment agreements, short and long-term incentive payments, early-out programs, as well as traditional deferred compensation and arrangements for executives.
Join hosts from Littler Mendelson's Charlotte Office for this 90-minute briefing, where we will cover:
-
How to spot whether a pay arrangement contains deferred compensation.

Which arrangements, plans and other documents need to be reviewed.
