Hiring a Notary Public in Georgia requires more than a generic agreement; you must address the specific liabilities of improper notarization and bond violations. Our document facilitates compliance with Georgia’s at-will employment under O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1 while protecting your business against identity fraud and E&O claims. It integrates mandatory Georgia Fair Business Practices Act standards and provides clear terms for acknowledgments, jurats, and notary seal security to mitigate industry-specific risks.
Beyond the standard employment contract sections, this template adds fields specific to Notary Public:
An employment contract establishes a formal employment relationship between an employer and an employee, outlining the terms and conditions of employment, rights, obligations, and responsibilities of both parties. It provides legal protection and clarity, ensuring compliance with employment laws and minimizing the risk of misunderstandings and disputes.
Improper notarization liability
Notaries should maintain comprehensive records and use notary journals to document all notarizations. They should also thoroughly verify the identity of signers and ensure all procedures comply with state laws.
Identity fraud
Use of reliable identification verification processes, adherence to state requirements for signer identification, and maintaining a secure notary journal.
For this employment contract to be legally valid:
Common mistakes to avoid:
Under O.C.G.A. § 13-8-50 et seq., non-compete clauses for notaries must be reasonable in duration, geographic scope, and the scope of activities restricted. Our contract ensures these covenants are narrowly tailored to be enforceable in Georgia courts.
While Georgia law does not mandate a notary journal for all acts, our contract includes record-keeping clauses as a best practice to mitigate liability for improper notarization and to support potential E&O claims defense.
Yes. In accordance with O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1, the agreement defaults to an at-will relationship, allowing either party to terminate the contract for any non-discriminatory reason unless a specific term of employment is defined.
The contract contains a specific Compensation and Benefits section that outlines the allocation of fees for notarial acts and signing agent duties, ensuring compliance with state-regulated fee maximums and O.C.G.A. § 34-7-1 requirements.
