Create a signatory for your contracts
Before generating your first contract, set up at least one signatory: this is the mandatory prerequisite step.
The signatory is the person who adds their signature at the bottom of the contracts generated by Shyfter. It can be the manager, the HR director or any person authorised to commit the company. Without a configured signatory, it's impossible to create a contract.
Why create a signatory first?
Shyfter requires a signatory to be associated with each contract. This guarantees that the final document carries a valid and identifiable signature. You can create as many signatories as needed (per establishment, per section, etc.).
Create a signatory
- Go to Documents → Signatory management.
- Click the green Add button at the top right.
- Fill in the required fields: last name, first name, job function.
- Add the signature in one of two possible ways:
- Sign directly with the mouse or stylus in the provided field.
- Import an image of the signature (JPG or PNG).
- Save.
Repeat the operation for each additional signatory.
Once your first signatory is created, you can move on to creating your contract templates and generating contracts.
