Frequently Asked Questions

Can W-4 and I-9 forms be signed electronically?

W-4 forms can be signed electronically. I-9 forms have specific requirements - Section 1 can be completed electronically, but Section 2 requires the employer to physically examine identity documents, though e-signatures on Section 2 are permitted.

How do I ensure compliance with employment document retention?

E-signature platforms automatically store signed documents with complete audit trails. Most platforms retain documents for 7+ years and provide easy export options for compliance audits.

Can I send multiple onboarding documents at once?

Yes, most platforms support bulk sending and document packages, allowing you to send all onboarding documents (offer letter, NDA, handbook acknowledgment, tax forms) in a single signing session.
