How to sign contractor agreements and assign signatories

Remote allows a company member to prepare a contract document and sign the document or assign one of your colleagues to be responsible for signing the agreement on the company’s behalf. Please note that once a contract document is signed by a company member, the company signatory is locked and no one can replace the signatory or overwrite their signature. The only person that can sign the agreement afterwards is the contractor. The following company members can be chosen for signing contractor agreements:

• Company owner
• Company admins
• Legal representative
• Onboarding managers

This article will cover: 

• Signing contractor agreements and assigning signatories when inviting a contractor
• Signing contractor agreements and assigning signatories in bulk 
• Editing an existing contractor agreement to change signatory
• Signing contractor agreements on Remote Mobile
