1. I just email the contract 2. Include in the email something along the lines:
Signature Employee / or reply to the email as confirmation of the employment contract:..............................
Answer: "I approve the contract in its entirety" “DATE"
I cannot imagine that sometime in this universe, someone will say: "Well, they answered that they approved the contract, but because they did not 'sign' the contract it is not valid"
I think signature software is just complicating things by trying to "digitize an old concept".
The nice thing about this is that I have automated it further by having an Airtable table with fields, and then using an automation to send an email based on the fields in the table. Hourly rate, name, job type etc. for the employment contracts. Before I used adobe sign and it was much more hassle to make contracts.
I expect my comment to take a big hit on Docusign's market cap :p
The problem is the investor class stopped believing in older, established companies as growth drivers. They don’t believe a GE, or a Ford, or what have you, are innovative.
So, they pool all their money into tech. Is Docusign going to say no to the money? They are a decent company and they are seeing large inflows and outflows because no one wants to dump their money into anything else.
