A Retention Bonus Agreement Confidentiality is utilized when organizations need to retain critical employees while ensuring the protection of sensitive information, particularly during periods of organizational change, mergers, acquisitions, or key projects. This document, structured under Canadian law, combines two essential elements: a retention incentive and confidentiality obligations. It is commonly implemented during business transitions, for key personnel retention, or when an employee has access to valuable proprietary information.
