The Employee shall not, whether during the currency of this agreement or after its termination for whatever reason, use, disclose or distribute to any person or entity, otherwise than as necessary for the proper performance of their duties and responsibilities under this agreement, or as required by law, any confidential information, messages, data or trade secrets acquired by the Employee in the course of performing their services under this agreement. This includes, but is not limited to, information about the employer’s business.
All work produced for the Employer by the Employee under this agreement or otherwise and the right to the copyright and all other intellectual property in all such work is to be the sole property of the Employer.
The Employee agrees that there are no contracts, restrictions or other matters which would interfere with their ability to discharge their obligations under this agreement. If, while performing their duties and responsibilities under this agreement, the Employee becomes aware of any potential or actual conflict between their interests and those of the Employer, then the Employee shall immediately inform the Employer. Where the Employer forms the view that such a conflict does or could exist, it may direct the Employee to take action(s) to resolve that conflict, and the Employee shall comply with that instruction. When acting in their capacity as Employee, the Employee shall not, either directly or indirectly, receive or accept for their own benefit or the benefit of any person or entity other than the Employer any gratuity, emolument, or payment of any kind from any person having or intending to have any business with the Employer.
The Employee will have access to email and the internet in the course of their employment. The Employee shall ensure that at all times their use of the email and Internet facilities at work meets the ethical and social standards of the workplace. Whilst a reasonable level of personal use is acceptable to the Employer, this must not interfere with the employee’s employment duties or obligations, and must not be illegal or contrary to the interests of the Employer. The Employee shall also comply with all email and Internet policies issued by the Employer from time to time.
The Employer and the Employee shall comply with the obligations set out in the Privacy Act 1993. The Employee must not breach the privacy of any customer or client in the course of their employment.
