The Employment Confidentiality Agreement serves as a crucial legal instrument for protecting sensitive business information in Austrian employment relationships. It should be implemented at the start of employment or when an employee gains access to confidential information. The document defines confidential information, establishes handling protocols, and outlines post-employment obligations, all while ensuring compliance with Austrian employment law, data protection regulations, and the EU Trade Secrets Directive. This agreement is particularly important in today's digital workplace where information can be easily transferred and stored. The agreement must balance the employer's legitimate interest in protecting confidential information with employee rights under Austrian law, including consideration of reasonable post-employment restrictions and data protection rights.
