Arbitration service Acas says agreements should not be routinely used as part of new guidance.
It emerged that NDAs were used by ex-movie mogul Harvey Weinstein and his company to settle allegations of sexual misconduct.Image captionAs part of the bankruptcy filing, the company said it released anyone"who suffered or witnessed any form of sexual misconduct by Harvey Weinstein" from their NDAs.
It also states that employees should be given a reasonable length of time to consider signing a non-disclosure agreement including allowing them to consult a trade union or lawyer. Additionally, Acas advises that NDAs should"never" be used routinely, stating they"should not be used to hide a problem or brush it under the carpet".
Ms Clews said:"Our new advice can help employers and their staff understand what NDAs are, how to prevent their misuse and examples where they will not be needed."
