Re: Confidentiality agreement
Technically probably yes; so you would need to limit the potential harm by making sure your spouse doesn't say anything about it...and by that I don't mean a Sopranos hit. You position with the employee is that they will be liable for any damages that result if the spouse leaks the information further.
