Can I say "signed" on a contract or employment letter?

Yes — you can use the word "signed" on a contract or employment letter, but how you use it matters. Below are common ways it appears and guidance for correct usage.

1. As a label for the signature line

• Common: Signature: ______________________
• Or: Signed: ______________________ Either "Signature" or "Signed" is acceptable to indicate where the person should sign. "Signature" is slightly more formal and typical.

2. To indicate an executed document

• Common phrase: "This agreement is signed on [date] by [party name]."
• More usual legal wording: "This agreement is executed and delivered as of [date] by [party name]." Both are understandable; "executed" is common in legal drafting but "signed" is plain and clear.

3. As part of a closing statement

• Common: "Signed by: [Name], [Title]" or "Signed: [Name], [Title]" This is fine if followed by the actual signature and date.

4. When indicating signature date

• "Signed on: [date]" is clear—useful when multiple signature dates may differ.

Practical tips

• Ensure there's a printed name, title (if relevant), signature and date for each signing party.
• Use consistent terminology across the document (e.g., don't mix "signed" and "executed" in contradictory ways).
• If the contract has legal or technical complexity, consider using "executed" or having a lawyer review the signature block wording.

If you paste the exact sentence or signature block you plan to use, I can suggest a concise, standard phrasing.
