This document is a basic, short form agreement for the protection of confidential information of an employer when employing an employee and is suitable for use with employment of permanent, non-award/award employees (both full time and part time).

This agreement is in addition to an employment agreement between the employer and the employee.  It may be issued with the employment agreement at the commencement of employment.

There is also a longer form version of this agreement available separately which deals with more detail around what constitutes the confidential information and who are authorised persons with respect to the information (see “Employee confidentiality agreement (long form)”).
