In Poland, employment agreements can indeed be signed digitally using a qualified electronic signature (QES), in addition to traditional handwritten signatures. Both methods are legally valid and ensure the authenticity and compliance of the contract.
Signature Options
Handwritten Signatures: Physically signed by hand, typically used for paper documents.
Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES): Digital signatures that meet specific security standards, suitable for electronic documents.
Legal Validity
Both signature types are legally binding. The choice between a handwritten or QES signature depends on whether the document is physical or digital. Adhering to these methods helps ensure the agreement is enforceable and compliant with Polish labor laws.
