Info from various law firms in the Pensacola area:
What is a confidentiality agreement? If you feel your business has proprietary information, such as trade secrets, that your employees are exposed to, one way to protect yourself is to have your employees sign a noncompete and/or a confidentiality agreement. A non-compete agreement means your employees cannot work for a direct competitor for a certain length of time after leaving your employment.
Keep in mind that only information that is actually confidential and proprietary can be protected. For example, if someone trained as a chef in your catering shop, she can certainly use her cooking skills in another job after she quits. But if she took the company's recipe book, such action would most likely be a violation of the confidentiality agreement.
