Perused that link a bit. Cool job on the guys writing all that up for others to read.
Personally, I found GitLab's approach (also documented over at their site) more pertinent to my situation—starting with the fact that apart from remote, GitLab are also multicultural, which adds a whole other dimension.
One remark: Zapier mention they use a website called HelloSign for electronic signatures. I have checked them out, and that's a total no-go. Although they claim to comply with EU law on electronic signatures, they most definitely do not: what they offer is a “paste a PNG of your handwritten scrawl on this box” kind of service, which not only does not come within a mile of being an advanced electronic signature, as per Regulation (EU) 910/2014, but also follows the inanely dangerous precedent set by, I think, Adobe, of affixing an image in the likeness of a hand-written signature or seal to a document. This causes people to just assume that if one such image is present, the document is valid, without actually checking the signature. So, although something like that HelloSign website might be fine for private contracts, at least in the EU those “signatures” have no public effect. Just thought I should mention.
