Nevada Employee and Severance NDA
Draft a Nevada employee or severance NDA aligned with NRS 10.195, which voids settlement gags on sex-based discrimination, harassment, and retaliation facts.
Introduction
A Nevada employee NDA is a confidentiality agreement between a company and a worker that protects the employer's trade secrets and confidential business information. A severance NDA is the version signed at separation, usually inside a settlement or release agreement, and it often keeps the terms of the exit private. What separates it from a commercial NDA between two businesses is who signs it: a worker cannot be forced to stay silent about unlawful conduct. In Nevada, NRS 10.195 targets settlement agreements rather than a standalone onboarding NDA. For any settlement entered on or after July 1, 2019, a provision restricting disclosure of factual information about a sexual offense punishable as a felony, sex discrimination by an employer, or retaliation for reporting sex discrimination is void and unenforceable. DocDraft drafts a Nevada employee or severance NDA from your facts, with that carve-out built in, and attorney review is available before anyone signs.

Key Things to Know
- 1
Nevada's rule is NRS 10.195, enacted by AB 248 in 2019. It voids settlement provisions that restrict disclosure of factual information about certain sex-based conduct.
- 2
It targets settlement agreements, not onboarding NDAs. The statute governs settlement and severance releases entered on or after July 1, 2019, not a standalone NDA signed at hire.
- 3
The scope is sex-based. It covers a sexual offense punishable as a felony, discrimination on the basis of sex by an employer, and retaliation for reporting sex discrimination, not all protected classes.
- 4
A gag on those facts is void and unenforceable. If a settlement tries to restrict disclosure of that factual information, the provision is struck rather than enforced.
- 5
It matters most for severance that resolves a claim. Because the law reaches settlements, the biggest impact is on a severance NDA tied to a sex-based dispute.
- 6
Trade secrets stay protectable. NRS 10.195 limits confidentiality over the facts of a sex-based claim, not legitimate business information, which a Nevada NDA can still cover.
- 7
Federal protections stack on top. The Speak Out Act, the Defend Trade Secrets Act immunity notice, and non-waivable EEOC and NLRB reporting rights apply in Nevada alongside NRS 10.195.
