FAQs and troubleshooting for add nanny contract email signature

Answers to frequent questions help resolve common issues like signer authentication, missing emails, and document version concerns when using email signature workflows.

Why didn’t the nanny receive the signature email?
Confirm the recipient email address is correct and check spam or quarantine folders. Verify the sending domain is authenticated to avoid deliverability problems, and ensure any organizational email filters allow messages from the eSignature provider.
How can I prove the signer’s identity?
Use built-in verification options such as SMS one-time passcodes, knowledge-based authentication where available, or ID document checks. Preserve the verification record in the audit trail to support signature validity.
What if the nanny signs the wrong version?
If an incorrect version was signed, revoke or void the agreement in the eSignature system, upload the corrected contract, and request signatures again. Maintain the revoked document for audit continuity.
How do I handle notarization or wet signature requirements?
Check local legal requirements; some jurisdictions or specific clauses may require notarization or wet signatures. When needed, arrange an in-person notarization and attach the notarized copy to the electronic record as evidence.
Can signed nanny contracts be edited after signing?
Once executed, signed contracts are immutable; make changes by creating an amendment or a new contract and collecting signatures for that document so the audit trail clearly shows the revision history.
Where are executed contracts stored and for how long?
Executed contracts should be stored in encrypted cloud storage with retention policies that meet tax, payroll, and employment record requirements. Set retention according to applicable laws and employer policy, and ensure secure access controls.
