In Belgium and other European countries, employment contracts are most notably required to have a Qualified Electronic Signature (QES)* for legal validity. However, other HR documents, such as policies, data consent forms, remote work agreements, and more, can also benefit from a QES to ensure authenticity and integrity. In this context, itsme^®, which offers a user-friendly qualified signature solution, is a very valuable tool for HR professionals.

• Employment contracts: As mentioned, these kinds of documents legally require a QES. Thanks to itsme^®, HR professionals can legally and easily sign employment and interim contracts with candidates, making the onboarding process more efficient. 

• Payroll and compensation: Agreements related to salary adjustments, bonuses, and other compensation-related matters may require QES to confirm the employee's acceptance.

• Policies and Procedures: Documents outlining company work regulations, codes of conduct, and HR policies, when updated or distributed to employees, may require QES for legal compliance and employee acknowledgment.

• Sales compensation and bonuses: HR can simplify managing sales compensation and bonuses by using itsme^® e-signature to obtain sales representatives' acknowledgment and acceptance of compensation plans, commission structures, and bonus agreements. 

• Termination agreements: When an employee leaves the company, severance agreements, non-compete agreements, or other termination-related documents require QES for legal validity.

Consistency and familiarity in document signing processes are key to accelerating HR processes. That's why itsme^® not only ensures legal compliance but also streamlines HR interactions. Your business can provide an exceptional digital experience, ultimately leading to improved business outcomes.
