Yes — that is the case Growee is built for. Set up a contract template once with employee variables, and mark it to auto-generate when a new employee is created, so the paperwork exists the moment someone is hired. The new hire signs it in the browser, and the signed PDF stays on their employee file with its expiration date, next to their other records. Roles do the gatekeeping you would otherwise do by hand: HR, Manager, and Admin see all documents, while an employee only ever sees their own.

There is no HR headcount assumed anywhere in that loop. E-signature is part of the paid Growth plan, at €2 per employee per month; the free plan for up to 3 employees covers records, document templates and leave. Either way a founder-run team runs it without hiring for it first.

No. Offers and agreements go out by email and the signer signs in their browser — no account, no install, and no verification code to type in. For a document already stored in Growee, you can share it by link and an outside signer can sign that link directly. Growee records their name and email as part of the signature either way.

When a document is signed inside Growee, the signature record keeps the signer's name and email, the timestamp, the IP address and browser the signature came from, and the page and position it was placed at. Growee also computes a fingerprint from the document's own contents combined with that signing context, and can re-check it later — so if the stored file or the signature record is altered afterwards, the check stops matching.

Offers and agreements sent out through the signature provider come back as the provider's certified PDF, which carries its own audit trail, and Growee records the signer plus the sent, viewed, and signed times on the offer itself. This describes what Growee stores and how it verifies its own records — it is not legal advice about what a signature is worth in your jurisdiction.

Growee downloads the certified PDF from the signature provider and files it on the client record as a signed document, so the final copy sits with the deal it belongs to instead of in someone's inbox. The offer moves to Signed with the time it happened, and an entry lands on the record's timeline. Declines and views are handled the same way — the timeline shows sent, viewed, signed, or declined without anyone logging it manually.

Growee sends offers and agreements through Yousign. The integration is written against an internal driver interface rather than hard-wired to one vendor, so the provider can be swapped without changing how signing works for your team. Every status update Yousign sends back is checked against a shared secret before Growee acts on it, and updates that do not fit the offer's current state are ignored and logged instead of applied.

Yes. The document list carries a Signed column, so unsigned files are visible without opening anything. Filter by document type, employee, tag, or expiration date to pull up the exact batch you need to close out — the same list that tracks contract expiry, so renewals and signatures do not end up in two different places.
