Employee Confidentiality Agreement Template

Why Every Employee Should Sign an NDA

Every employee, contractor, and vendor with access to your systems sees confidential information — client lists, product plans, financial data, source code. A confidentiality agreement (NDA) creates legal obligations to protect that information, both during and after their engagement.

Key Clauses

• Definition of confidential information: Broad but specific — list categories (client data, business plans, source code, financial records).
• Obligations: Protect information with the same care as own confidential information. Do not disclose without authorisation.
• Duration: Obligations survive termination of employment (typically 2-5 years).
• Remedies: Injunctive relief and damages for breach.
