How BoldSign® Simplifies Employee Expense Claim Signatures for HR Teams


 

HR teams are often tasked with verifying, processing, and archiving numerous claim forms while ensuring compliance with company policies and regulatory requirements. Manual submission of receipts and forms often results in delays, especially when multiple signatures are required for approval. Handwritten forms, missing receipts, and data entry mistakes can lead to reimbursement inaccuracies. However, with the BoldSign® electronic signature solution, HR teams can streamline and simplify the entire expense claim process, resulting in faster reimbursements, better organization, and enhanced efficiency.

In this blog, we’ll explore how BoldSign® transforms the handling of employee expense claims, freeing up valuable time for HR teams while ensuring a smooth and transparent process.

Key BoldSign® features for streamlining expense claim signatures

Here’s how the BoldSign® platform’s features simplify and expedite the expense claim process for HR teams.

Streamlined claim submission and collection with templates

Expense claim forms often follow a standard format, requiring employees to input similar information. The BoldSign® template feature allows HR teams to create reusable forms for expense claims, saving time and ensuring uniformity across submissions. Employees can simply fill in their details and submit claims electronically, reducing errors and ensuring all necessary information is included. Check out our article on how to create a template.

Improved collaboration among departments

Expense claims often require input and approval from multiple stakeholders within an organization, such as individuals from the HR, finance, and management teams. BoldSign® facilitates seamless collaboration by enabling the creation of multiple teams to review and approve documents collaboratively.

Centralized document organization and access

Professional look with custom branding

HR teams often handle sensitive documents, and it’s important that employees recognize these as official company communications. The custom branding feature in BoldSign® allows HR to add company logos and colors to all their signature request emails and signing pages, creating a polished, professional experience for employees.

Bulk send

HR teams often need to distribute expense claim policies, updates, or submission guidelines to all employees. With the bulk send feature, the same document can be sent to multiple employees simultaneously. This feature streamlines mass communications, saving HR time and ensuring consistency in information sent across the organization.

Bulk links allow HR to generate a single signing link that can be shared with multiple employees. Each employee receives their unique version of a document, allowing them to individually fill out and sign their claim forms. This feature is ideal for situations where HR needs to distribute expense claim forms quickly and efficiently to many people.

The automated reminders and notifications in BoldSign® help keep everyone on track by alerting employees and approvers of pending actions or document updates.
