# Send a staff contract for signature

Before you begin, check the [e-signature requirements](/help-center/contracts#send-contracts-for-e-signature-before-you-start).

1. Open a template that is **Ready to send**, with no unsaved changes.
2. Click **Send**.
3. Choose **Staff**. Under **Who gets it**, tick each person, or tick **All staff**. This option sends to people with a staff role in this business.
4. Under **What you fill in**, fill in the business blanks for each person. Click **Preview** to check a person's copy before sending.
5. Check the **Sign by** date. It starts two weeks from today, or on the template's **Valid until** date if that is sooner. Leave it empty for no date.
6. Click **Send** (the paper-plane button on a phone). The confirmation lists everyone who will get a copy. Click **Send** to confirm.

Each person gets an email with a link to read and sign their copy. After the **Sign by** date, a contract that is still open shows as **Overdue**.

Once a template's **Valid until** date has passed, it can no longer be sent.

## What the person signing sees

For a staff contract, the link in the email opens the contract in the person's Naayya account. They sign in first if needed. They also find it under **Account > Contracts**, in **Sent to you for signature**.

Signing has six steps: **Read**, **Details**, **Uploads**, **Review**, **Code**, and **Sign**. Before they fill anything in, they see a notice that explains who is asking for their details, why, and how long each detail is kept.

At the **Code** step, they tick **I agree to sign electronically**, click **Email me a code**, and enter the 6-digit code from the email. The code works for 10 minutes. Then they sign and click **Sign the contract**. The contract then waits for your countersignature.
