Should/How do i tell my boss something?
So the year before last I became a Notary Public because I thought it was something good to have as a plus. It isnt really necessary in the line of work that I do but I got it to do notarial acts on the side. I had mentioned to my boss that I had became one and she thought that was a plus to have in the department and I should put a copy of my cert in my training record. I never really had to notarize documents at work until now, because of a potential acquisition there have been documents back to back that she has asked me notarized. Now I dont mind a document or two but its become over 100 and as many of you may know notarial acts are not free. The usual fee is 10.00 a document. I paid for my own stamp/online course. Should I ask my boss if or how will i be compensated for my notarial acts. Being a Notary is not in my job description nor a requirement. I just feel like im being a bit taken advantage of but im not sure how to approach it to by boss? Advice?

Re: Should/How do i tell my boss something?
Tough one. Like you said it is good for every office to have a notary, b/c one never knows when it is necessary. I've never been in an office that requires 100+ docs notarized at once (normally 1-5 /wk).
Can you ask HR / boss if they can reimb you for the course / fees / stamp since you are now doing this a lot more often? I'm not sure if they will actually give you add'l compensation for notarizing (I may be wrong) but at least you get your course money back.
Just my 2cents.

First off congrats on completing that.
Second I would just be up front with her or as up front as you can be and just say " I am happy to help out with Notarizing documents for our department however, I feel that sense it is not in my job discribion and I did not need to have this for my job, I would like to ask how I am going to be compensated for the documents?" Then she may come to the conclustion that she is taking advantage of your notarizing cert. and either compansate you or stop having you notarize documents.
I do think that you need to say something to her because she is clearing not paying for them because she thinks that she can keep getting around it since you did not say anything to her before you started notarizing for her.
HTH
Thats a good idea too jackie
thanks jack and redwing !
yea i have definitely concluded whether to bring it up or not and I will. I told my coworker about it and she is actually pissed for me, she says that Im being taken advantage of. Im not pissed but i do feel like i am being taken advantage of. Im just not good in bringing things up like this. Ive been with the company long enough (9 years) i need to put my firm face on!
