eSignature Legitimateness for Contract for Work in Mexico

How to eSign a document: e-signature legitimateness for Contract for work in Mexico

hi I'm an identity owns of refreshing lore limited and I thought everybody needed a bit of cheering up in lockdown so today we're actually joined by a very special guest Darcy the - hound has decided that she is an expert on e signatures haven't you so today we're going to both talk to you about Etha glitches and this is probably quite relevant because you may be working from a different location to staff and able to get together and sign wet signatures to contracts of employment or maybe other things like settlement agreements or deeds of restriction non-disclosure agreements things that you might be entering into with staff and recently the Law Commission looked at all the case law in this area as to whether or not signing by other means is legal and valid and on the whole it is so in these difficult times if you need to make alternative arrangements then you are able to do that now of course there are different ways of applying any signature you might have software you might use something like PDFs where you're able to download a signature and sign in that way but there are other alternatives such as a JPEG scan of somebody's signature actually typing in the name and of course the sorts of signatures that you'll have to do and we sign for things where you apply a stylus to an iPad or something like that and obviously certainly platforms for signature will have more sort of secure into their systems designed to prevent fraud and things like that so my pin numbers or other ways to authenticate that somebody is who they say they are before they sign and so you might want to think about those sorts of things there will be occasions where you need to sign something as a deed so if you're introducing with shift restrictive covenants for example that any consideration or if you've got a power of attorney in contract of employment in relation to things like intellectual property clauses or directors clauses things like that then quite often that document is going to need to be witnessed by somebody else it is okay for somebody's family member to witness to an employee's family member it is legitimate to witness that kind of document so don't worry about that from the company's perspective then you might need to think about whether the company can sign electronically that will be down to its article of association whether the articles say the company has that power and and also who you've set internally as having the authority to do that having sort of risk policies around who is allowed to sign obviously a sensible anyway so hopefully you found that useful and I think Darcy quite enjoyed being famous for five minutes and young and thank you very much over and out from me at refreshing more limited and hope to speech all again soon
