How to sign an electronic labor contract in express delivery industry?

The express delivery industry can use a reliable third party to sign electronic labor contracts with employees.

According to the provisions of the Electronic Signature Law on reliable electronic signatures, the electronic signature of "locking the real identity of the contracting party, effectively preventing document tampering and accurately recording the signing time" is an electronic signature with legal effect.

It is impossible for individuals and ordinary enterprises to make reliable electronic signatures, and qualified third-party electronic signature platforms will ensure the legal effect of electronic signatures through various technologies.

In fact, electronic labor contracts can be applied to various industries and fields, and the electronization of labor contracts is the general trend of the digital age.

As a new form of electronic evidence, electronic contract has inherent advantages over paper contract in improving enterprise efficiency and saving administrative costs. More and more employers begin to use electronic signature technology in personnel management documents such as labor contracts.

Article 10 of the Labor Contract Law stipulates that a written labor contract shall be concluded when establishing labor relations. Formally, a general contract with electronic data has the same legal effect as a traditional paper contract, so a labor contract with electronic data should also have the same legal effect as a traditional paper labor contract. As long as the two sides reach an agreement on the procedure and the signature and seal are true, the electronic labor contract should take effect. Electronic labor contracts are only formally embodied as data messages, which are not different from paper labor contracts in essence, and when there are invalid situations, electronic labor contracts will still be considered as invalid contracts.

The networking of enterprise management process and the digitalization of office system will inevitably make electronic evidence an important type of evidence in the process of handling labor disputes. Therefore, when establishing an information system, employers should guard against systematic risks, solidify electronic evidence in advance, including the generation and circulation process of electronic evidence, the detailed notification obligations of both parties to the electronic labor contract, and the expression of intention, so as to form a complete evidence link. At the same time, it can also protect the massive electronic evidence generated by the information system through legal solutions to prevent disputes by neutral third parties.

For enterprises, the cost and risk brought by electronic labor contract, as well as the promotion of operational value in management optimization, are far greater than the value in convenience. Electronic labor contract is bound to be the future, even the coming trend.
