Everyone knows that contracts can't be signed casually. When signing any contract, you must read it carefully. If you accidentally sign a contract against yourself, it may be too late to regret it. We all know that the contract will be countersigned in the end, or the handprint will be pressed. So, do you have to press your handprint when signing a contract with an individual? Let me give you a detailed introduction, hoping to help you.

First, do I have to press my handprint when signing a contract with an individual?

Under normal circumstances, natural persons need to sign their fingerprints, and companies need representatives to sign and seal them. However, if the contract is already in actual performance, whether it is handprinted or not does not affect the effectiveness of the contract. If both parties agree to sign voluntarily, just sign it, and the contract is valid without pressing the handprint.

legal ground

Article 490 of the Civil Code

If the parties enter into a contract in the form of a contract, the contract shall be established when the parties sign, seal or press their fingerprints. Before signing, sealing or fingerprinting, one party has fulfilled its main obligations, and the contract is established when the other party accepts it.

Second, what chapter should be stamped on the labor contract?

When a worker signs a contract with a company, he should generally affix the official seal of the company. The personnel department is responsible for the signing and performance of the personnel contract, so the personnel seal should also be regarded as effective, and the law requires signature and seal; One of them is ok. If it is a signature, it should be the signature of the legal representative. If it is stipulated in the company's articles of association, others can take effect with the authorization of the legal representative.

The special seal for the labor contract, the special seal for personnel or the seal of the personnel department belong to the internal seal, and it is only effective to affix these seals to the labor contract after being authorized by the employer. However, the seal must be filed by the public security organ and publicized in public. The corporate seal is the company seal, and your so-called corporate seal is the legal representative. Then you don't have to cover it. You can also stamp the contract. On some occasions, especially between employers and workers, if the evidence is favorable to workers, other chapters have a great chance of being recognized. If it is obvious that it is the workers' fault, it is very likely that they will be required to admit it only with the company seal.

Third, the necessary conditions for the contract to take effect.

(1) The parties have the corresponding ability to conclude a contract. The so-called corresponding contracting ability refers to the subject qualification that the contract subject can independently conclude contracts and undertake contractual obligations. A contract is an act in which the parties consciously pursue specific legal consequences for the purpose of establishing, changing and terminating civil rights and obligations. It is directly related to the interests and losses of the parties, so the parties must be able to recognize and identify their actions and judge the legal consequences of their actions, that is, they must have the corresponding ability to conclude contracts.

(2) the meaning is true. The so-called expression of will means that the actor expresses his intention to produce, change and terminate civil rights and obligations. The expression of truth is an important condition for the validity of the contract. In most cases, the external meaning of the actor is consistent with the inner true meaning, but sometimes the meaning expressed by the actor is not consistent with the true meaning. When the expression of will is untrue, we can't just take the external meaning of the actor as the basis, without considering the internal meaning of the actor.

(3) It does not violate the legal and social interests. Legitimacy is the essential attribute of civil juristic act, and it is also a necessary condition for the validity of civil juristic act. The legal effect of a contract lies in the fact that the parties' expression of will conforms to the law. Obviously, an illegal contract cannot be protected by law, nor can it produce the legal effect expected by the parties. At the same time, the contract should not only conform to the law, but also not violate the public interest in content.

The above is about the legal knowledge of "whether to sign a contract with an individual should press the fingerprint". Individuals need to sign a contract or press the fingerprint, but signing without pressing the fingerprint does not affect the effectiveness of the contract, as long as it meets the effective requirements.
