What is Employee Confidentiality?
Employee confidentiality is a legal principle that prevents an employee from using or disclosing to a third party any confidential information that belongs to their employer during employment or after the employment has ended, other than in the course of the employee's employment.

However, it is wise for an employer to have a written employment agreement in place which contains a confidentiality clause, so that 'confidential information' is clearly defined.
