I am working for home care agency as a clinical manager for 2.5 years. Last week my company started to require from all administrative staff to sign confidentiality and disclosure form wich states that for a period of one year after I live the company I cannot " disclose any method or information to any person, firm , corporation. Does it mean that I will not be able to work for another agency? Do I have to sign this document?

Question: I am working for home care agency as a clinical manager for 2.5 years.

Response 1: No. What are you being asked to sign is a non-disclosure agreement and not a non-compete agreement, which restricts your employment for a competitor. Non-disclosure agreement prevents you from disclosing trade secrets and information.
Do I have to sign this document?
Response 2: Yes, you do. Otherwise, you may not be allowed to continue to work there.
can I open my own agency if I sign this document?
Response: Yes, you can but you have to be careful about using the information that you acquired as a result of your employment with this agency when you are opening your own agency.
