# Compliance requirements

[Jobs](/info/jobs.md) on Scholars have certain compliance requirements which you, as the applicant, must meet.

For example, most jobs on Scholars require you to have entered your payment information and to have signed a binding legal agreement with Scholars.

## How do I satisfy compliance requirements?

When you receive an [offer](/how-to/accept-or-reject-a-job-offer.md), and you click on it to read it, you will see the compliance requirements on the right-hand side of the screen:

To satisfy compliance requirements, click on each of them and follow the prompts on screen. When completed, a compliance requirement will show a "Satisfied" green badge.

## Types of compliance requirements

### Signing legal documents

You may be asked to read and sign legal documents as part of compliance requirements for a job on Scholars.

To do so, click on the "View \[document name]" button to see and read the document PDF. Then, enter your full name as shown on your legal documents and add your signature. Ultimately, click on *Agree & Sign* to sign the document. This will satisfy the requirement.

{% hint style="warning" %}
This is a legally binding signature. Please ensure you have read the document in question in its entirety before agreeing and signing.
{% endhint %}

### Adding payout and tax information

If you don't have payout and tax information set up in your profile, this requirement will appear as *Pending.*

The Trolley onboarding dialog starts with ID verification, then asks for payment and tax information. After you complete one part and return to the dialog, Scholars refreshes the requirement status so you can see what is still pending.

To add a payout method and tax information:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Click on the compliance requirement on the right in the offer you received. This dialog will appear:
