Reviewing and signing your contract

1 min read
On this page

Before payroll can start, you need to review and electronically sign your employment contract. Here’s how.

  1. From the Home screen, find the Review & sign contract card under URGENT ACTIONS and tap Review.
  2. If your personal details aren’t complete yet, RoostPay asks you to Review and edit personal details first. Update your information and continue — you can’t sign a contract until your profile is complete.
  3. On the Review & Sign screen, read the banner reminding you to read the entire contract before signing.
  4. Scroll all the way through the contract. A hint reminds you to scroll through the entire document, then tap Sign Now.
  5. Tap Sign Now.
  6. In the Electronic signature panel, enter your Full legal name exactly as it appears on your government-issued ID.
  7. Optionally, draw your signature in the signature box (Optional: draw your signature).
  8. Check the box confirming you’ve read and understood the entire contract, and that you agree to be legally bound by its terms.
  9. Tap Sign contract.
Note: Your electronic signature has substantially the same legal effect as a handwritten signature under applicable Canadian electronic transactions law.
  1. Once signed, you’ll see Contract signed with a confirmation that your signature has been recorded and your employer has been notified. Tap Review it now to open the signed PDF, or Done to return home.

A copy of your signed contract can always be found later from the Pay & Docs screen.
