What is an employee non-disclosure agreement?

An employee non-disclosure agreement (NDA), also known as a confidentiality agreement, is a legally binding contract between an employer and an employee. It ensures that the employee agrees to keep certain information confidential, such as trade secrets, business strategies, client lists, and other sensitive information. By signing an NDA, both parties acknowledge their responsibility to protect the employer's confidential information.

What are the types of employee non-disclosure agreements?

There are two main types of employee non-disclosure agreements: unilateral and mutual. 1. Unilateral NDA: This type of agreement is used when only one party, usually the employer, wants to protect confidential information. The employee agrees not to disclose or use any of the employer's confidential information for personal gain or to benefit competitors. 2. Mutual NDA: In certain situations, both parties may need to exchange confidential information. A mutual NDA ensures that both the employer and employee are bound by the same obligations of confidentiality. This type of NDA is commonly used in partnerships, joint ventures, or when parties are considering a business transaction.
