Executive Summary

E-signatures are part of Breathe's document management: contracts and policies can be sent and signed electronically within Breathe, with no printing or scanning. A document can go to several signees at once, and every signature is logged with a time stamp and IP address to give an audit trail. Breathe says it provides unlimited online storage for HR documents, lets users control who can see each document, and shows who has and has not read a document so reminders can be sent. It is part of Breathe HR, which is designed for organisations with 1 to 250 employees.

  • Sending company policies for electronic signature.
