Employee Confidentiality Agreement (NDA)
Agreement protecting employer's confidential information, trade secrets, and client data from disclosure by current or former employees.
When to Use
For employees who access sensitive business information — financial data, client lists, trade secrets, or proprietary processes.
Key Clauses
Definition of Confidential Information
Clearly define what constitutes confidential information. Include: financial data, client lists, trade secrets, business strategies, and proprietary processes.
Obligations
Employee must not disclose, copy, or use confidential information except for job duties.
Duration
During employment AND for a specified period after termination (typically 2-5 years).
Return of Materials
Employee must return all confidential materials (physical and digital) upon termination.
Exceptions
Information that is publicly available, independently developed, or legally required to disclose.
Remedies
Injunctive relief and damages for breach. Liquidated damages clause optional.
Warnings
Overly broad confidentiality definitions may be unenforceable.
Employee NDAs are separate from non-compete agreements (which have stricter enforceability rules).
Must be signed at or before the start of employment — not after (consideration issue).
Professional Legal Assistance
When a matter involves investigation, arrest, detention, litigation, or regulatory action, professional legal representation becomes essential.
