Qualified electronic signatures, right inside Sloneek (Autenti integration) – Help Center

Already this quarter, Sloneek connects with Autenti. You'll be able to sign employment contracts, amendments and other important documents with a qualified electronic signature straight from Documents in Sloneek. No printing, no scanning, no passing files between apps.

Under the EU eIDAS regulation, a qualified electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten one in every EU country. That makes it a fit for the documents where HR still reaches for paper and a pen.

What you can look forward to

The highest legal weight, without paper. A qualified signature is equivalent to a handwritten one, so documents that require written form can be handled online too. In Poland, for example, the law explicitly treats a qualified signature as written form.
Everything stays in Sloneek. You prepare and send the document in the same place as today. Just choose the qualified signature.
No account or certificate needed for employees. They verify their identity once with Autenti, using an ID document and a selfie, right as they sign. It works on a computer or a phone.
The signed document comes back on its own. Once everyone has signed, Sloneek saves the signed document and the signature certificate to the employee's profile. Nothing to download or re-upload.
A clear view of every signature. See who has signed, who you're waiting for and who declined. If something gets stuck, Sloneek lets you know.
Works for external signers too. People outside Sloneek can sign as well, such as a new hire before their first day or a business partner.
Your choice, every time. The current Sloneek signature stays exactly as it is. Use the qualified signature only where you really need it.

How it will work

Connect once. An administrator connects the company's Autenti account in Settings → Integrations. This only needs doing once.
Send the document. HR uploads a document or creates one from a template, just like today. They pick the qualified signature via Autenti as the signature type and send it.
The employee signs. The employee gets an invitation, clicks Sign in Sloneek and continues to Autenti's secure page. There they verify their identity and sign.
Done. The signed document and the signature certificate are saved back to Sloneek automatically. HR and the employee can download them from there at any time.

A detailed setup guide will be published in our help centre on launch day.

When a qualified signature makes sense

A qualified signature pays off most on individual documents between the company and a specific employee, where the stakes are highest:

employment contracts and agreements,
contract amendments and salary changes,
terminations and separation agreements,
documents for employees in countries where a simple electronic signature doesn't meet the written-form requirement, such as Poland.

For everyday documents such as internal policies, acknowledgements or handover protocols, the Sloneek signature remains more than enough. We recommend checking the requirements for a specific document in your country with your legal advisor.

What you'll need and how to prepare

Once launched, the integration will be available to every Sloneek customer at no extra cost. Signatures, however, run through your company's own Autenti account. You sign the contract directly with Autenti, and Autenti invoices the signatures according to your plan.

What you can do now:

Decide which documents you want to sign with a qualified signature. That helps you pick the right plan.
Get an Autenti account with eSign API access and a package of qualified signatures. If you don't have one yet, get in touch and we'll help you find your way. [add contact / link]
Agree who will set up the integration. In Sloneek it's an Owner or Administrator; in Autenti, the Super Administrator of your account.

As soon as the integration goes live, we'll let you know and send a link to the detailed guide. We look forward to signing your first paperless documents with you.
