How should fees be handled when a public agency covers an employee's expenses for notary services?

  1. Kept by the employee as reimbursement

  2. Divided equally between the agency and employee

  3. Remitted back to the agency

  4. Sent to the Secretary of State

The correct answer is: Remitted back to the agency

When a public agency covers an employee's expenses for notary services, the fees should be remitted back to the agency. This ensures proper record-keeping and transparency in regards to the agency's budgeting. Option A is incorrect because the fees should not be kept by the employee as it can create a conflict of interest. Option B is also incorrect as the fees should not be divided equally as the agency is the one covering the expenses. Option D is incorrect as it is not necessary to send the fees to the Secretary of State. The agency is responsible for handling expenses related to notary services.
