You’re a senior executive and you’re thinking about making a job change. The prospective company has sent you a proposed employment agreement. The money terms look good. But, it also looks like there are a lot of moving parts to the compensation package—performance bonuses, equity awards, long-term incentive awards, retirement income, and deferred compensation. How can you adequately evaluate the offer?

You may need to check in with an employment lawyer, according to Dallas employment law specialist Keith Clouse. Mr. Clouse urges an executive in this situation to seek professional advice. An employment lawyer who is familiar with your industry and with executive compensation in general should be able to review the proposed agreement and assess its actual worth. For example, an employment lawyer can determine whether too much of the compensation hinges on reaching benchmarks or whether the equity awards are comparable to what you might be offered by a competitor. Depending on an employment lawyer’s assessment, you may want to move forward with the proposed deal or negotiate something better.
