Attract, Retain, and Reward Top Performers
The well-designed supplemental benefit plan can:
- Provide additional post-retirement income for selected executives
- Established performance benchmarks that must be attained before supplemental retirement benefits are awarded
- Require continue employment for executives to reap benefits (golden handcuffs) and protect them from change of control risk (golden parachutes)
- Comply with limited ERISA restrictions on participation, funding, and vesting
- Provide performance-based incentives for executives
- Replace benefits lost when an executive leaves a previous employer to work for your company
