My companies policy is that I transcribe letters and sign the "writers" name and put a stamp that says "signed in absence to avoid delay".  The reason they have is that the writer's are not in this office and it would take too long to go back and forth so therefore, I sign their name and stamp it (they look at the letters and give an ok first).

I have always thought this was not a good practice but am now wondering if this is "OK".  Please let me know if this falls under the don't do category.

Thanks.
Susan
