FAQ: What are the benefits to practices of using LocumDeck’s e-signature for Locum Form A?

E-signing Form A on LocumDeck can transform the process for a practice, saving hours of administrative time.

  • Time savings: It takes seconds to set up and only seconds to sign all future Form As. No more printing, scanning, or saving individual documents. Practices can approve and e-sign the Form A directly within the same system used for managing bookings and invoices, streamlining the practices administrative process and avoiding the need to log into multiple platforms.
  • Reduced errors: The form is automatically populated with the correct data, including the pensionable pay and employer contribution, reducing the chance of manual data entry errors.

"I want to thank you dearly for all the support from the days of Covid. I have gained so much experience and I have really felt part of a family. I know the last few months had really got challenges with locum availability but regardless you have been so valuable to me. "
