Electronic DPP and employment contracts without printing or retyping
The temporary worker fills in their details online, the contract is created from your template, you sign it remotely, and the signed copy goes to their private e-mail, as the Czech Labor Code (zákoník práce) requires. We build it on top of the Google Docs or Word, signing service and payroll software you already have.
Part of Hiring and onboarding
Does this sound like your agreements?
Since 1 October 2023, both an electronic employment contract and an agreement to complete a job (DPP) can be concluded without paper. But without a clear procedure, the agreement still gets printed, retyped and waits for a signature.
-
“We retype agreements by hand from Word and then hunt for a typo in the birth number.”
-
“We print the agreement, the temporary worker takes it home and brings it back signed a week later.”
-
“We don’t know whether it’s enough to send the contract by e-mail or whether it has to be on paper.”
-
“Temporary workers send us their birth numbers and bank account numbers by e-mail.”
-
“A temporary worker withdrew from the agreement after two days and we didn’t know whether that was allowed.”
Flow
How concluding a DPP electronically works
We automate filling in, checks, delivery and deadlines. Signing and decisions about people stay with you.
- 01
Personal questionnaire
The temporary worker fills in their details online. The birth number (rodné číslo) and bank account number are checked as they are entered. They provide their private e-mail for delivery of the contract themselves.
Person: Adds the agreed work, pay and start date.
- 02
Contract from your template
The data is filled into your DPP or employment contract template. If a mandatory item is missing, the contract is not created and goes back to be completed.
Person: Only your company provides and changes the template.
- 03
Remote signing
The contract is sent for electronic signature through the service you use.
Person: Signs for the company. The temporary worker signs on their side.
- 04
Delivery
The signed copy goes to the employee’s private e-mail. When and to which address is recorded.
Person: Forwards nothing by hand.
- 05
7 days and the start
The withdrawal period runs in the onboarding overview. Payroll data goes out before the start.
Person: The accountant files the registration with the Czech Social Security Administration (ČSSZ).
What we prepare for electronic DPP
Six tasks from the form to the archive. They apply equally to a DPP, an agreement to perform work (DPČ) and an employment contract.
Online personal questionnaire
The temporary worker or new employee fills in their address, health insurance company, bank account number and taxpayer declaration on a phone or computer. The birth number and bank account number are checked right away. The data is entered once and not retyped after that.
Contract from your template
The data is filled into the template provided by your company or your lawyer. A different variant depending on the type of contract or age. We don’t change the text of the template; we only fill in the fields.
Check of mandatory details
A DPP must state the agreed work and the period for which it is concluded. If any of this is missing, the contract is not created and goes back to be completed. We also make sure the delivery address is not a company mailbox.
Remote signing
You and the temporary worker sign the contract electronically, even from a phone. We connect the signing service you have, or the built-in signing in your HR system. Your lawyer decides the type of signature; we build it into the flow.
Delivery and 7 days to withdraw
The signed copy goes to the employee’s private e-mail. When and where is recorded. The employee can withdraw in writing within 7 days of delivery, as long as they have not started work. The deadline and any withdrawal are recorded with the onboarding.
Archive and payroll data
The signed contract is saved in the employee’s folder. The payroll software or the accountant gets the data before the start, because from 1 July 2026 even a temporary worker on a DPP is registered with the ČSSZ before starting. We don’t send birth numbers and bank account numbers by e-mail.
What do you run on?
We keep the template, signing and payroll where you have them. Here is what is possible.
Google Docs or Word
A contract template with fields from which a PDF is created. In Google Docs, or in Word on SharePoint or OneDrive via Power Automate.
Signi or DigiSign
Remote electronic signing connected via an API or an integration platform. DigiSign also lists signing of employment contracts and verification by SMS, e-mail or bank identity. With Signi, the signer does not need an account.
POHODA or ABRA Flexi
ABRA Flexi creates a person and an employment relationship via the REST API. From POHODA you send the employee pre-registration (PREZEC) directly to the ČSSZ.
You don’t have a signing service yet and the template sits in Word? That is a starting point too. In the audit we recommend the shortest route.
When you don’t need us
An electronic DPP pays off when you conclude many agreements or conclude them remotely. If not, we tell you.
- You see your temporary workers in person before they start
- A paper agreement signed on the spot is simpler. A good template and one copy to hand over are enough.
- Your HR system has electronic signing
- Sloneek, for example, has it in Core HR and in its Recruiting and onboarding module. Switch on what you already pay for first. We connect only what is missing, such as payroll data.
- You conclude a few agreements a year
- An off-the-shelf signing service without integration is enough. In the audit we show you what to watch out for with delivery to a private e-mail.
- You need a contract template written or reviewed
- That is a job for a lawyer or a payroll accountant. We fill in the template and keep the procedure on track; we don’t write legal text.
