0We can help people with grammar, not legal advice. Why don't you offer to make them a Word template with their own signature block so they are are less tempted to use yours?02br

Many years ago I worked as an administrative assistant. On several occasions I had to sign for my boss. I was taught that it was okay to do this as long as you signed your own name and added "for _________" (persons name you were signing for). Is this still considered an okay business practice?

I'd say it's up to each office to come up with their policies on this. I have done the same thing - I sign my OWN name, and then handwrote the word "for" before the signature block of the person whose name the letter was going out over.
