About this employee NDA.
How do I customise the template?
Open the DOCX in Word, Google Docs or LibreOffice. Find-replace the highlighted [FIELDS]. The template's inline guidance walks you through each field.
Why are whistleblowing protections mandatory?
UK law requires NDAs to preserve the right to report crime, regulatory breaches, and protected disclosures. The carve-out is tagged [mandatory] in the template and cannot lawfully be removed. Note for legal sector clients: from 2 June 2026, the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) is a formally designated prescribed person under PIDA — workers regulated by the SRA (trainees, paralegals, clerks, agency workers) may make protected disclosures directly to the SRA, and no NDA clause can prevent this.
Does the Employment Rights Act 2025 affect this template?
Under s.202A Employment Rights Act 2025 (expected in force October 2026 or 2027), any NDA clause that seeks to silence disclosure of relevant harassment or discrimination — including non-disparagement clauses — will be void. This template's mandatory carve-out already preserves those disclosures. However, until final regulations are published, take independent legal advice before using any employment NDA in a harassment or discrimination context.
Should I include a non-compete?
Often no. UK courts are sceptical of post-employment non-competes. Non-solicitation usually gives you most of the protection.
Does this replace the employment contract?
No. This is a confidentiality agreement to sit alongside an employment contract.
What's the IP assignment about?
Optional. If you keep the IP assignment block, work created in the course of employment vests in the employer on creation.
Can existing employees sign this?
Yes, but consider whether fresh consideration is needed, take advice if unsure.
