Scott Pryor Law understands non-disclosure agreement litigation and we are dedicated to protecting your rights as an employee. It is not legal for an employer to restrict you from taking another position as long as you are not unlawfully using sensitive information from that company.
What is an NDA? A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) is a signed agreement between you and an employer that is designed to help protect an employer's trade secrets. The trouble for you the employee, however, is that non-disclosure agreements can be written so broadly that they encompass everything read, learned, taught, or seen at a business.
Did you know? Many employers will offer current and former employees incentives in exchange for signing a NDA. This practice is both legal and common in the business world and is perfectly acceptable by the courts.
Also, an employer may request a NDA when hiring a new employee. In this case, the act of receiving the job is considered incentive enough. However, if your current employer asks you to sign a NDA without compensation, then this might well be unenforceable against you.
