Employment Forms

  • Employment Agreement. Employers can customize an employment agreement that states the salary, benefits, working hours and other important provisions for their new or existing employee.
  • Consulting Agreement. Answer simple questions to build a contract with a consultant. Specify the services rendered, when payment is due, as well as IP rights.
  • Commission Agreement. Employers who compensate their sales employees based on commissions can prepare an agreement to reduce misunderstandings by specifying the base salary and how commissions are calculated.
  • Executive Employment Agreement. Companies may offer their business executives a contract that is different from the one provided to their regular employees. Executive employment agreements may be more complex because the compensation structure may include a combination of salary and commissions, provide for bonuses based on sales, stock or other financial targets, and include non-compete, confidentiality and severance provisions.
  • Sales Representative Contract. Independent sales representatives offer companies the potential to increase the sale of products or services without the burden of increasing headcount. Both parties should understand how commissions are calculated, when commissions will be paid, as well as how the representative will treat confidential information from the company and whether the representative may also sell a competing line of products or services.

                              AGREEMENT TERMINATING
                          SALARY CONTINUATION AGREEMENT

                  This Agreement (the  "Agreement")  is made and entered into as
of this 6th day of October,  2000 by and between Star Systems,  Inc., a Delaware
corporation  (the  "Company"),   Concord  EFS,  Inc.,  a  Delaware   corporation
("Parent"),  and  Ronald  V.  Congemi  (the  "Executive")  for  the  purpose  of
terminating  the Salary  Continuation  Agreement  between  the  Company  and the
Executive, dated February 1, 1997 (the "Salary Continuation Agreement").

                  WHEREAS, concurrently with this Agreement, the Company, Parent
and Orion Acquisition  Corp., a Delaware  corporation and a direct  wholly-owned
subsidiary of Parent ("Sub"),  are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the  "Merger  Agreement")  pursuant  to which Sub will  merge with and into the
Company (the "Merger"); and

                  WHEREAS, the Company, Parent and the Executive mutually desire
to  terminate  the Salary  Continuation  Agreement,  and to pay out the  benefit
accrued  thereunder  in  accordance  with the  terms  of the Star  Non-Qualified
Deferred  Compensation  Plan,  effective  as of January  1, 2000 (the  "Deferred
Compensation Plan").

                  NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of  the  mutual  promises
contained herein and other good and valuable  consideration,  the parties hereby
agree as follows:

1.   As of the Effective Time of the Merger, as defined in the Merger Agreement,
     the Salary Continuation Agreement shall terminate,  and no further benefits
     shall accrue or be payable to the Executive thereunder.

2.   As of the Effective  Time of the Merger,  the benefit  accrued on behalf of
     the Executive under the Salary Continuation  Agreement immediately prior to
     the Effective Time (the "Accrual Balance") shall be credited to the account
     maintained  for the Executive  under the Deferred  Compensation  Plan,  and
     shall  be  credited  with  earnings  or  losses  and  shall  be paid to the
     Executive  pursuant to the terms of the  Deferred  Compensation  Plan.  For
     purposes of the preceding sentence, the Accrual Balance shall be determined
     in accordance with Schedule A to the Salary Continuation Agreement,  except
     that it shall be calculated (i) on a monthly basis, and (ii) without regard
     to the provisions of the Salary  Continuation  Agreement  applicable in the
     event of a Change of Control, including Section 2.4 thereof.
3.   The  amounts  credited  to  the  Executive's  account  under  the  Deferred
     Compensation  Plan,  including the amount credited pursuant to Section 2 of
     this Agreement,  shall be payable to the Executive as if neither the Merger
     nor  any  of  the   transactions   contemplated  by  the  Merger  Agreement
     constituted a Change of Control.
4.   The provisions of this Agreement shall become effective  immediately  prior
     to the Effective Time, provided,  however,  that if the Merger Agreement is
     terminated,  then this Agreement shall automatically  terminate at the same
     time.
