Questions About Digital Client Signature & Instant Sign-Off [2026]
What if the care home manager is unavailable to sign when the carer leaves at 7 AM?
The carer can submit the timesheet for 'Remote Sign-off'. The client manager receives an instant email and SMS link allowing them to review and sign from their desktop or mobile later that morning.
Are digital signatures legally binding for invoicing disputes?
Yes. Digital signatures captured in AsanWork comply with the UK Electronic Communications Act 2000 and eIDAS standards, recording IP address, GPS coordinates, and UTC timestamps.
Can client managers reject specific hours or breaks?
Yes. Clients can adjust hours or reject the timesheet with an explanatory comment, which alerts the agency coordinator immediately.
