Free eSignLive webcast on how to reduce risk in HR onboarding with e-signatures
Montreal, QC, Tuesday, April 12, 2011 - As many progressive organizations know, finding and retaining talented employees is the real secret behind creating a dynamic company. So implementing automated human resources processes that making hiring the best people more efficient are more than worth it.
In fact, many companies are now asking new employees, contractors and agents to review and sign a number of essential HR documents, such as non-disclosure and non-compete agreements, online. But this new HR onboarding trend has also opened Pandora’s legal box.
“In recent years, there have been a number of court cases disputing the validity of e-signed HR records, a situation suggesting that employers would benefit from looking more closely at their electronic signing processes in order to find out just how enforceable their e-signatures really are,” says Tommy Petrogiannis, CEO and co-founder of Silanis, the e-signature provider for 21st Century, the US Army, the US Bank and many other leading financial and government organizations.
