1. A labor contract that is not signed by fingerprints is valid, because fingerprints and signatures have the same legal effect. According to the law, a labor contract shall come into effect after the employer and the employee reach an agreement through consultation and sign or seal the text of the labor contract. Before signing, sealing or fingerprinting, one party has fulfilled its main obligations, and the contract is established when the other party accepts it.

2. Legal basis: Article 16 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Labor Contract Law.

A labor contract shall be reached through consultation between the employer and the employee, and shall come into effect after the text of the labor contract is signed or sealed by the employer and the employee. The text of the labor contract is held by the employer and the employee respectively. 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. A contract shall be concluded in written form as stipulated by laws, administrative regulations or agreed by the parties. If the parties do not do this in writing, but one party has fulfilled its main obligations and the other party accepts it, the contract is established.

Second, what are the precautions for signing fingerprints?

Attention should be paid to the following issues:

1. Special inkpad or inkpad should be used to prevent inkpad or inkpad from accumulating on fingers and forming blurred fingerprints. Ink and ink can be red, blue or black;

The order of fingerprints is the index finger, thumb and middle finger of the right hand. If the finger of the right hand cannot meet the requirements due to special circumstances, it can be replaced by the index finger, thumb and middle finger of the left hand in turn, and it is best to indicate it in the fingerprint;

3. In the process of stamping, put your finger flat on the relevant materials or documents to be stamped, and roll the stamp with your finger from left to right. The pressure of imprinting should be controlled by the temperature, so that the fingerprint line will be clearly left on the material or document. It is best to confirm the degree of inkpad or ink left on your fingers before stamping.
