What does it mean?
So, Samsung has developed a new agreementabout confidentiality for its partners producing semiconductors and other components. The new contracts are not intended for all partners, but mainly for those who are deeply involved in production. These are some Japanese companies and South Korean subsidiaries of international corporations. But this does not apply to manufacturers of factory equipment involved in production.
The new agreement adds only a fewpoints. First, it prohibits new employees from working on Samsung parts production. Second, companies are required to notify Samsung when an employee leaves any of its partners and goes to work for a competitor within a year.
By the way, Samsung already has a rule that prohibits its employees from working for competitors. But this is the first company to extend this policy to its partners.
Violation of any of the two points is punishable bya rather large fine - from 85 thousand dollars. It is reported that most companies in South Korea and Japan that Samsung offered the contract agreed to sign without any problems.
