HR use cases i United Kingdom
Employment contracts at scale
Employment contracts carry no statutory form requirement and can be concluded entirely online. Send the contract to the employee and, where needed, to the manager for approval; the audit trail records identity and the time of signing.
Written statement of particulars (ERA 1996)
Section 1 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 requires a written statement of particulars on or before day one. Certyneo delivers and records the statement with a timestamp, evidencing the day-one obligation.
Offer letters on interview day
Send the offer letter straight after the interview; the candidate signs on mobile in minutes. In a tight market that speed wins talent, and the audit trail evidences the time and content of the offer.

Electronic signatures are valid (Law Commission 2019)
An electronic signature is capable in law of executing a document where the signatory intends to authenticate it (Law Commission report, 2019; Electronic Communications Act 2000, s. 7). Employment contracts have no special form requirement, so the advanced signature (AES) of Certyneo is more than sufficient.
UK GDPR and employee data
Employee records are personal data under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. Certyneo hosts in an EU data centre (covered by the UK adequacy decision), encrypts in transit with TLS 1.3 and provides a data processing agreement.
