Signatures are a modern thing. It used to be you 'made your mark' on a document -- many people couldn't write. So the question is, would you perjure yourself when asked "Is this your mark on the contract?". After all, many signatures bear only a slight resemblance to a printed name.
Did they ask you to sign this contract after you had accepted their offer, or after you had already started working for them? Or was it provided as part of the job offer? Did you receive any additional compensation (consideration) for signing this contract?
