Q: My wife was terminated from her position. The company has sent her an NDA, is she under any legal obligation to sign?
She has already signed an NDA when she started at the company. She was fired for accidentally emailing herself a document that contained sensitive company information. They are requesting that she signs this new NDA, but are not offering any incentive to sign.
The only thing I am really worried about is they might trying to take legal action based on the first NDA that was signed.
A: Additional details are needed to fully analyze your wife's situation. You should reach out to an employment attorney in Texas and seek a consultation and review of the NDA that your wife's former employer is asking her to sign.
