Sign Documents Electronically

Signing documents electronically is easy, intuitive and saves time for both the company and the employee/contractor. It eliminates the need for printing, scanning, or physically mailing documents, sparing unnecessary paperwork and resources. With electronic signatures, you can sign documents anywhere, anytime, using your computer, tablet, or smartphone. It simplifies collaboration by allowing multiple parties to sign the same document simultaneously, streamlining the workflow. Additionally, electronic signatures offer enhanced security features, such as encryption and authentication, ensuring the integrity and legality of the signed documents.

There are two types of documents that require a signature – contracts and agreements. In some countries PTO requests also require a mandatory signature.
