Pay
How pay works
Each job shows its pay up front, in dollars, before you commit. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer; passing never counts against you.
Work is per job: each request near your home ZIP in Kentucky is offered as it comes in, around Louisville, Lexington and Bowling Green or anywhere else inside the radius you choose. There is no guaranteed volume.

Serving in Kentucky
Before you serve papers in Kentucky
In small claims cases (Small Claims Division of the District Court), the official pages describe service like this: “Certified mail with return receipt (paid in advance) or personal service by the sheriff. The plaintiff must check that service was completed.” Other kinds of cases follow different service rules.
Some places license or register process servers, some require a court appointment, and some have no separate rule. It is up to you to meet Kentucky's; we ask on the application.

Do I need a license to serve papers in Kentucky?
That is set by Kentucky and sometimes the county. If one is required, upload it with the application; if you're not sure, say so and a person reviews it.

Am I an employee?
No, this is independent contractor work: your jobs, your vehicle, your choice on every offer.
