strange conversation with a hiring party this week over lowered fees. I was told that it's the going rate for notaries in our area & that it's based on distance. They won't pay one notary a higher fee than another. Also, the fee offered was $15 lower than I normally accept. I need the biz so I'm being forced to work for less. We have always been able to negotiate our fees, but that is disappearing. I'm not an Uber driver, and resent my fee being based on the distance to the signing. I live in a heavily populated area, so distance has never really been an issue. I wondered if that same thinking applies to their employees. Are they all paid the same salary, regardless of years of experience or knowledge? Are they also paid less if they work close to the office? LOL Anyone else running into this kind of issue? |
