@saedwards - This is a tricky one and you almost would want to anticipate that an employee would refuse to sign and provide a means for the employee to act accordingly. How about these other options or comments:
-
Correct the envelope and make it an Optional Signature Field:
- When preparing the document, include a signature field for the employee but mark it as optional. This way, if they choose not to sign, the document can still be completed.
-
Add a Refusal Checkbox or Note:
- Add a checkbox or a text field where the employee can indicate their refusal to sign. For instance, you can add a checkbox labeled "I refuse to sign this document" or a text field where they can write their reasons for refusal.
-
Utilize Comments or Notes:
- If the employee opens the document but does not sign, you can use the “Comments” feature to note their refusal. This way, there's a record of their action (or inaction).
-
Certificate of Completion:
- Once the signing process is completed or expired, download the Certificate of Completion from DocuSign. This document provides a full audit trail, including who viewed and who signed (or did not sign) the document.
