They have to sign the rider as well. Have a signature block on it. Also, in the signature block on the main contract, hand write in something like "agreed, as modified by the rider." That way you've made it clear that you haven't agreed to the main contract alone. You obviously can't do this if everything is electronic. You've got to reject electronic-only contracts outright.

> in the signature block on the main contract, hand write in something like "agreed, as modified by the rider This seems excessive. Yes, incorporation is a thing. But if you’re getting a rider with a supremacy clause signed at the same time as the main contract, the company is going to have a hell of a time arguing the latter is moot.

  Yeah, but "misplacing" the addendum happens.

    How so? The only relevant copy of the contract, to you, is your copy. The counterparty can do whatever they want to try to manipulate the situation.

    Somewhat piggybacking on what someone else said: you should always have a fully executed copy of the entire contract itself, and in the worst case a copy that the employer had signed (which is often enough). “Misplacing” an addendum can be a serious grounds for sanctions, but ideally you have the addendum with your copy and if possible there is additional evidence that there was an addendum, like perhaps contemporaneous notes or emails talking about the addendum.

Or go through the DocuSign process but don't sign and download the PDF then add the rider and reupload the modified PDF to your DocuSign for them or just email them.

  Docusign lets their customers withhold the ability to download PDFs.

    Oh, did not know that. Thank you Pretty nasty for a regular contract but maybe there are cases where this is ethical...
