The Confidentiality Agreement For Employees is a critical legal document used in Belgian employment relationships to protect an organization's sensitive information, trade secrets, and intellectual property. This document becomes necessary when onboarding new employees or updating existing employment arrangements where employees have access to confidential business information. The agreement must comply with Belgian employment law, including the Belgian Trade Secrets Act of 2018 and the Employment Contracts Act, while also adhering to EU regulations such as GDPR. It includes comprehensive definitions of confidential information, specific employee obligations, permitted disclosures, and consequences of breach, all tailored to be enforceable under Belgian jurisdiction. The agreement is designed to balance the employer's need to protect sensitive information with employee rights and obligations under Belgian law.
