STAFFINGpro Online is aimed exclusively at decision-makers in the field of human resources management.
Numerous recruitment companies and HR departments in Germany and around the world have integrated Namirial signature workflow solutions into their digital processes. Employers and employees use them to sign employment contracts, declarations on data protection, confidentiality, bonus agreements, approvals for addenda to existing employment contracts and copyright as well as documents for social security and pension insurance, among other things. Companies save paper, postage and time and benefit from streamlined workflows and fewer sources of error.
Since the beginning of 2025, there have been more opportunities to implement HR processes more efficiently, cost-effectively and yet in compliance with the law thanks to numerous legislative changes: For example, employee leasing agreements and proof of essential working conditions can now be handled in text form in most cases.
In their session entitled “Electronic signatures in HR – Which processes can be signed and how in 2025?” at 11:15 a.m., Habib Bejaoui and Jörg Lenz will explain why leading employment lawyers repeatedly point out that although email, SMS or WhatsApp fulfill the text form for these and other processes, their probative value may be insufficient in the event of a dispute and that more probative procedures should be used. The use of advanced electronic signatures is often recommended for the conclusion of employee leasing agreements. In this session, you will find out what options are available and what you can rely on with signed digital documents.
In addition, the speakers will discuss the numerous exceptions: you will learn for which processes the electronic form with qualified electronic signature (QES) is still required and for which processes only the paper form (signature with ink) is permitted until further notice. They will also take a look at which laws the new federal government needs to work on in order to reduce the remaining bureaucratic hurdles.
As a sponsor of STAFFINGpro Online, Namirial Germany is making it possible to attend the event free of charge.
