An HR director or benefits manager typically has authority to prepare and sign notices on behalf of the employer when delegated. Employers should document the delegation of signing authority internally, such as by policy or board resolution, to substantiate signatures during audits or claims.
A corporate officer (CEO, CFO, COO) or other authorized company officer often signs notices that affect statutory obligations. When an officer signs, retain evidence of title and authority and preserve authentication records for electronic signatures to support attribution.
