NDA Reminder Template for Exit Interviews (UK 2025)

When You Need This Contract

While not a new NDA, an exit interview confidentiality reminder reinforces the departing employee's ongoing obligations under their existing NDA and employment contract confidentiality clauses. This document confirms what information remains confidential after departure, requires the return of all company materials and data, and serves as an important evidence trail that the employee was reminded of their obligations. It can be critical evidence if a breach occurs after departure.

Key Clauses

• Confirmation of ongoing confidentiality obligations post-departure
• Return of all company materials, devices, data, and access credentials
• Specific reminder of the most sensitive information accessed during employment
• Acknowledgement that the employee understands their continuing obligations
• Contact information for questions about ongoing obligations

What to Watch Out For

• Making the exit interview adversarial or threatening, which reduces cooperation and may create legal challenges
• Not obtaining a signed acknowledgement from the departing employee confirming they understand their ongoing obligations

Sample Clauses
