Document background
The Non-Disclosure Agreement For Contract Employees is essential when organizations engage independent contractors who require access to sensitive business information. This document, governed by U.S. federal and state laws, establishes confidentiality obligations while maintaining contractor status distinctions. It typically includes provisions for protecting trade secrets, intellectual property, and proprietary information, while incorporating necessary whistleblower protections under the Defend Trade Secrets Act. The agreement is particularly crucial in today's flexible workforce environment where contractors often have deep access to company resources and information.
