By | January 22, 2008

An Employee Confidentiality Agreement is a contract that requires an employee not to divulge specific knowledge that they may acquire while working for an employer or client.  This may include trade secrets, an employer’s customers, finances, or any other information uniquely pertaining to the employer.  This agreement also often specifies that an employee may not create unauthorized copies of business-related information, or remove business-related information from the premises.
