Document background
The Confidentiality Agreement Employee Leaving is a critical document used when an employee terminates their employment relationship with a company in Saudi Arabia. It serves to protect sensitive business information, trade secrets, and intellectual property that the employee had access to during their employment. This document is particularly important in the Saudi Arabian context, where business privacy is governed by both modern commercial regulations and Sharia law principles. It should be presented to employees during their exit process, typically alongside exit interviews and property return procedures. The agreement covers specific obligations regarding information confidentiality, document retention, future use restrictions, and potential legal consequences of breaches. It's designed to complement existing employment contracts while creating standalone post-employment obligations that survive the employment relationship's termination.
