Non-Disclosure Agreement for Employee Leaving Confidentiality agreements sometimes specify the length of time a worker cannot work for a competitor after leaving his or her workplace. Through this, the former employee cannot use the knowledge received from the previous company to benefit a new employer or earn profits.
The nondisclosure agreement should identify the parties to the agreement and which one is the disclosing party, or side sharing the information, and the recipient. Names and addresses of the parties should be included. The agreement should also identify other individuals who may be parties to the agreement.
