Document background
The Employment Confidentiality And Non Disclosure Agreement is essential for businesses operating in the United States that need to protect sensitive information shared with employees during their employment. This document is commonly used during the onboarding process or when an existing employee gains access to confidential information. It ensures compliance with federal laws such as the Defend Trade Secrets Act and state-specific regulations while establishing clear guidelines for handling proprietary information, trade secrets, customer data, and other confidential business matters. The agreement typically includes definitions of confidential information, scope of protection, duration of obligations, and procedures for returning confidential materials upon employment termination.
