It's nothing to worry about. Just 'sign your sign' BTW, did you say a Microfinance Bank'? |

Looks pretty standard to me! i have signed agreements like this especially when im dealing with confidential information. I suggest that you sit down and read it very well and also understand it. If you cannot adhere to any of the contract statement, please dont sign it. I say this because if you break one you may get sued. However, not signing it could cause you to have problems with your job. |

I think most of you guys may not fully understand the depth of the matter.I am also working in the said firm,recently a lot of inhumane policies were introduced such as daily portfolio at risk which is calculated by the percentage of the default you have on daily basis divided by the working days in a given month ,for those who have had an experience in mfb ,will understand how bad that volatility is and please for your information ,the basic salary plus other package monthly is 37k without bonus and this makes life harder without bonus as the portfolio at risk is tide to bonus only if after calculations at the end of the month ,ones percentage is below 2%.please your view |

Sleemzy3:Scare tactic, what you are about to sign is called an undisclosed covenant meaning there was no witness from your side in the person of your lawyer. Just sign it and chill, it is a worthless piece of paper in court as if the need be, your lawyer will make a total nonsense of the document. 3 Likes |

Funny, policies may be introduced that may not be friendly to the staff members of your firm. They want to take your protest power away, you will only be able to suffer silently without going to the press. 1 Like |

It's normal. Its Non-Disclosure Agreement and holds sacrosant except and until a court warrant is provided before you can divulge company information to press. My Management staff sign something more serious than this. |

Looks like a quite basic contract to me...and except you've got some other offers,you've got to sign it. Their organisation,their rules! |

@Sleemzy3. It's called non-disclosure agreement. It could be used by the management of your company for a good cause or a bad cause. Either ways they just want you to keep your mouth shut. Your company don't want you to reveal any information to it's competitors or in case the management want to start scamming people, they just want you to co-operate. For more information, you may search for "non disclosure agreement" on Google. |

Sleemzy3: It is a standard confidentiality agreement. Nothing wrong with it. Even if it is coming 2 years after, this is when management has either learnt of it or have suddenly realized that this charter does not exist in the company. |
