Electronic Signing

Within RealworksHR you have the ability to electronically sign your forms and agreements (availability and selection of forms depends on legislation).

Sign on Screen allows you to sign your form on screen (using a tablet device) whilst you are physically present with your client. This process is the equivalent to using pen and paper.

The signing person will be prompted to acknowledge and agree that, in general, they are aware that they are signing their form electronically and agreeing to the legal obligations of that form, as well as agreeing to receive electronic communications.

Remote signing is used when you need a document to be signed by a party that is not present in the same location as you. The signing request will be emailed to the recipient and electronically signed remotely.

To use this facility you must have an account with DocuSign and authorise RealworksHR to access this account. Once you have set up and authorised your DocuSign account in RealworksHR, you will be able to choose to send your forms and agreements for remote signature without interruption.
