E-Signature Use Case

Sign Employment Contracts Online

Employment contracts define the terms of a working relationship - compensation, responsibilities, confidentiality obligations, and termination conditions. Getting these signed before a start date is non-negotiable, and paper delays put onboarding at risk. E-signatures let HR teams send, track, and collect signed employment agreements in hours rather than days, with complete records stored and accessible from day one.

What is this document?

An employment contract is a legally binding agreement between an employer and employee that sets out the terms and conditions of employment, including salary, role, duties, working hours, benefits, and the rights and obligations of both parties.

Why e-sign a Employment Contracts?

New hires expect a modern experience - sending a PDF for e-signature reflects well on your company before the employee even starts.

HR teams can track signing status in real time and send automatic reminders instead of chasing candidates by phone.

Employment contracts often require multiple signers (employee, hiring manager, HR director) - sequential signing workflows ensure the right order is always followed.

A permanent, tamper-evident digital record protects both employer and employee if any contract terms are disputed in the future.
