Employers ask new hires to sign preemployment agreements

Article Abstract:

New employees are asked by employers to sign pre-employment contracts which serve as their guarantee of employee loyalty and to prevent employees from divulging trade secrets once they leave the company. The areas usually covered by pre-employment contracts include: dispute resolution procedures, training expenses, non-competition, and nondisclosure of trade secrets. These contracts are legal but their enforceability depends on how the contract was executed. Both new graduates seeking employment and employers should get proper legal advice on pre-employment contracts.
