According to Article 3 of the Electronic Signature Law of China (2004):
“The parties concerned may agree to use or not to use electronic signature or data message in such documentations as contracts and other documents, receipts and vouchers in civil activities.
The legal effect of a document, with regard to which the parties concerned have agreed to use electronic signature or data message, shall not be denied only because the form of electronic signature or data message is adopted.”
Looks like it’s legally ok to sign employment contracts online. Anybody know a really good lawyer in Shanghai?
