Unlock the Power of eSignature Legitimacy for Interview Non-Disclosure

How to eSign a document: eSignature legitimacy for Interview Non-Disclosure

All businesses have systems, processes, and  proprietary information that help them stand out.   They would Want to keep this  information confidential.   To ensure that this proprietary information  remains a secret, employers should make their   employees agree to confidentiality. This can be  done in two ways: inserting a confidentiality   clause into the employment contract or by getting  the employee to sign a non-disclosure agreement.  If you are hiring a new employee,  you should insert a confidentiality   clause in the employee’s employment contract.  Confidentiality clauses are clauses inserted into   employment contracts that obligate the employee  to not disclose certain pieces of information.  Only if the employee is already working for  the business, and there was no confidentiality   clause in their employment contract, then  you should ask the employee to sign a   stand-alone non-disclosure agreement (“NDA”). Employers prefer confidentiality clauses as it   guarantees that the employee will maintain  confidentiality from the first day at work,   which signals to employees that the obligation to  maintain confidentiality is non-negotiable. If an   employee challenges the inclusion  of the confidentiality provision,   an employer can simply  refuse to hire the employee.  Employers often dislike using an NDA because  it cannot guarantee confidentiality to the same   degree. This is because if the employer chooses  to fire the employee for refusing to sign the NDA,  The employer will likely fall foul of unfair  dismissal laws, and risks having to pay large   amounts in compensation to the employee. All  employers should include a confidentiality   clause in the employment agreement if that  employee has access to confidential information.
