The Employee Confidentiality Agreement Form is a crucial document in U.S. employment relationships where employees have access to sensitive business information. It should be implemented at the start of employment or when an employee's role changes to include access to confidential information. This agreement defines what constitutes confidential information, establishes the employee's obligations to protect it, and outlines the consequences of unauthorized disclosure. It's particularly important in industries where intellectual property and trade secrets are vital to business success, and should comply with both federal and state-specific employment and trade secret laws.
