Document background
The Employee Exit Non Disclosure Agreement is a critical document used when an employee leaves an organization in Saudi Arabia, regardless of the reason for departure (resignation, termination, or mutual agreement). It serves to protect the company's confidential information, trade secrets, and intellectual property after the employment relationship ends. The agreement must comply with Saudi Arabian legal requirements, including the Saudi Labor Law, Anti-Commercial Fraud Law, and recent data protection regulations. This document is particularly important in today's knowledge-based economy where confidential information and intellectual property are key business assets. It typically includes detailed provisions about what constitutes confidential information, the duration of confidentiality obligations, return of company property, and consequences of breach. The agreement should be presented and signed during the employee exit process, preferably during or before the final exit interview.
