All employees of the Clerk's Office are required to have their fingerprints scanned as part of the hiring process so that a criminal background check can be performed. All employment shall remain probationary at least until the background is cleared. Because it is necessary for all Clerk’s Office employees to be bonded, any criminal background check results that reveal a finding of guilt by a court or jury, an admission of guilt or no contest in any criminal matter regardless of adjudication may result in termination even after probationary time is completed.

Employment with the Clerk's Office is a statutorily appointed position and serves at the will and pleasure of the elected Clerk of Court and Comptroller.

Final employment decisions rest with the Clay County Clerk of Court and Comptroller, in compliance with federal and state laws regarding non‑discrimination and preference.
