Document background
The Confidentiality Agreement For Employees is a critical document used in Singapore employment relationships to protect an organization's sensitive information. It should be implemented at the start of employment or when an existing employee gains access to confidential information. The agreement covers definition of confidential information, scope of protection, employee obligations, duration of confidentiality duties, and consequences of breach. It is designed to comply with Singapore legislation including the Employment Act and PDPA, while being enforceable under Singapore's common law system. This document is particularly important in sectors dealing with sensitive information, intellectual property, or trade secrets.
