How to Insert Electronic Signature Into Severance Package with pdfFiller

What does it mean to insert an electronic signature into a severance package?

Why inserting an electronic signature is critical for modern document workflows?

The integration of electronic signatures enhances the efficiency and security of document workflows. Digital signatures reduce the time required to process documents and remove the barriers tied to physical paperwork, such as delays from mailing and printing. Furthermore, e-signatures offer encryption and authentication measures, ensuring the integrity of the signed document.
