What happens when a public agency funds notary fees for its employee?

  1. The employee keeps the fees as a bonus

  2. The fees are returned to the agency

  3. The fees are donated to charity

  4. The fees are used for office supplies

The correct answer is: The fees are returned to the agency

When a public agency funds notary fees for its employee, the fees are returned to the agency, as stated in choice B, rather than being kept by the employee as a bonus (choice A), donated to charity (choice C), or used for office supplies (choice D). This is because the agency is covering the cost of the notary service for the employee, and therefore is entitled to the fees that would have been paid by the employee if they had to pay out of pocket. This also ensures that the use of public funds is accounted for and properly allocated.
