Yes, employment contracts are generally form-free and can therefore be signed electronically. However, in certain cases, such as with some fixed-term employment contracts, the law requires the written form. This can be fulfilled with a qualified electronic signature according to eIDAS. Therefore, you should check in advance which form is required for your specific HR document.

That depends on the respective document. For internal approvals or acknowledgments, a simple electronic signature is often sufficient. In the case of employment contracts or contract amendments, an advanced or qualified electronic signature is frequently used. With Skribble, all three options are available in one tool, allowing you to choose the appropriate one based on the HR case.
