KERP Sample Clauses
A Key Employee Retention Plan (KERP) clause is designed to provide financial incentives to essential employees to encourage them to remain with a company during periods of transition, such as mergers, acquisitions, or bankruptcy proceedings. Typically, this clause outlines eligibility criteria, the amount and timing of retention payments, and conditions under which employees may forfeit these benefits, such as voluntary resignation or termination for cause. The core function of a KERP clause is to ensure business continuity and stability by retaining critical personnel during uncertain or disruptive times.
