Electronic Signing

Convenient, Fast and from Anywhere

Ten Warning Signs

1 

The sender's address doesn't match

The name is correct, but the domain after the at sign is suspicious, for example ending in @micros0ft-support.com.

2 

Pressure to respond quickly

The sender uses words like "immediately", "final notice" and similar.

 3 

Request for a password or login

Never log in from a link in an email.

4 

Unexpected financial request

Watch out for a changed account number or a payment request in the email.

5 

Suspicious attachments

Never open documents containing macros or attachments with .ZIP or .EXE extensions, and report everything to IT Security in the FIG/2 unit.

6 

Odd language

The email may be written in poor Czech or have an unnatural tone and word order.

7 

The context doesn't add up

If you're asked to confirm an order you never placed, it's best to report or ignore the email.

8 

Unusual links

The email contains link shorteners (bit.ly) or unfamiliar domains. You can check the real address by hovering your mouse over the link.

9 

Branding inconsistencies

The logo in the email is blurry or has a different number of letters or different colours.

10 

Request for discretion

The email contains phrases such as "don't tell anyone" or claims to be from "management".

You can now also sign amendments to employment contracts and addenda to agreements on performance of work and work activity electronically. This means you no longer need to visit your direct manager for a signature or go to the HR Advisory Centre. Documents can simply be signed online via a link you receive by email. An electronic signature has the same legal validity as a handwritten one.

You can take your time to study the document at home and then sign it within a few clicks from your mobile phone, tablet or personal computer.

After signing, you can download the contract and save it to your device. The whole process is quick, convenient and does not require installing any app.

Proven in Practice

Almost 6,000 employees have already given their consent to electronic signing, including colleagues from the PFO – Car Production MBO and PKD – Transmission DQ departments, who took part in the pilot project. Their experience helped fine-tune the last details before the full launch, and the satisfaction rate reached 90%. Employees particularly praised the overall process and the flexibility that the new way of working with documents brings. At the same time, personal handovers of documents are reduced, making the whole process more convenient for both employees and managers.

“Electronic signing brings employees greater convenience. They can read the document in the comfort of their own home, sign it whenever it suits them, and have it available at any time. Thanks to electronic signing, unnecessary paperwork is eliminated, and the whole process is simpler and quicker,” says Dagmar Záhorová, coordinator of the HR Advisory Centre.
