Has anyone got an NDA (Non Disclosure Agreement) that they have used when hiring a remote administrator? Do you know where i could get a hold of one of these?

I've never even seen one of these so have no chance of writing one myself!

Thanks.

You will prolly need to have one drafted by a lawyer, containing the terms that you want for it..... And I doubt many people can share their NDA's since they can't speak about them :D

Greetings:

Since you are on the right track legal wise, be sure to have a signed contract with the company as well as a service level agreement (which is different than terms of service).

Thank you.

And I doubt many people can share their NDA's since they can't speak about them :D I'm not sure whether you're joking, but that's not really likely to be true. Even if the terms of the NDA would prevent revealing what the terms are (which isn't always the case), there wouldn't likely be anything preventing you from disclosing your generic NDA without revealing with whom you have an agreement. So posting or sharing the agreement with the parties' names removed would probably be ok.

But in any case you're right that the safest approach would be to have a lawyer draw one up for you. If you're less worried, though, any NDA for any relationship could easily be modified.

If you're hiring a remote adminitrator, though, disclosure is only one of your concerns. If you'll be paying this person without actually making them an employee (that is, you're not withholding taxes), you should have a Work For Hire Agreement specifying payment terms. And you should have a written agreement specifying responsibilities and liability. The safest approach would be to pay a lawyer to draw up one contract that covers all of those points -- in other words, your NDA clauses could be included in a comprehensive contract.
