Document Signing

Documents are sent and signed digitally from the employee portal, with a record of who signed, which document and when.

Handing over a notice and being able to prove it was handed over are not the same thing. A payslip emailed, a policy pinned to a board or a protocol handed out in person cover the easy part; the hard part is proving months later that this specific person received and read it.

It works for payslips, internal notices, policies, protocols, PPE issues and any document the company needs to evidence. The flow replaces print-chase-scan, which in any case always leaves two or three people unsigned and nobody knows which.

For a shift-based workforce or one spread across sites, the difference is bigger: there is no waiting for each person to pass through the office to close a document handover.

Handing over and proving it

Handing something over is not the same as proving you did

A payslip emailed, a policy pinned to the board or a protocol handed out in person cover the easy part. The hard part arrives months later, when you have to evidence that this specific person received it, and the only proof is somebody remembering they gave it to them.

Digital signature solves exactly that: the document is sent, the person signs it from their portal and it is filed with a record of who signed, which document and when.

It works for payslips, internal notices, policies, protocols, PPE issues and any document the company may need to evidence later.

The cycle it replaces

Print, chase, scan

That is the usual cycle, and it has a structural flaw: there are always two or three people who have not signed and nobody knows which until the papers are counted. If the workforce also works shifts or is spread across sites, closing a document handover can take weeks.

With digital signature, status is a query: who has signed, who has not and how long it has been pending. Reminding whoever is missing no longer requires somebody keeping count by hand.

And there is no waiting for each person to pass through the office. Somebody on site signs from their phone the same day it is sent, which is while the document is still relevant to them.

Where it ends up

Filed in the record of whoever signed it

The signed document does not end up in an inbox or a folder: it goes into that person's file, inside the document manager, with its type, its date and its permissions.

That means the day it has to be produced (an inspection, a complaint, a court case) it is found from the employee's record in seconds, alongside the rest of their documentation: contract, training, medical check-ups and PPE issues.

It is the difference between having the document and having it findable. In practice, a file you cannot locate when you need it is the same as not having it.

Clearing things up

Frequently asked questions

Answers to what we get asked most.

What is recorded for each signature?

Who signed, which document and when. That record is the difference between handing over a notice and being able to prove months later that this specific person received it.

Which documents does it cover?

Payslips, internal notices, policies, protocols, PPE issues and any document the company may need to evidence later at an inspection, in a complaint or in court.

How do I know who has not signed?

Status is a query: who has signed, who has not and how long it has been pending. With the print-chase-scan cycle there are always two or three people who have not signed and nobody knows which until the papers are counted.

Does it work for staff who never visit the office?

That is where it shows most. Somebody on shifts or on site signs from their phone the same day it is sent, without waiting to visit the office, which is what stops a document handover taking weeks to close.
