Pay

## What and how you're paid

Every offer states what the job pays. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer, and nothing is assigned without your yes.

Jobs are offered one at a time, as clients ask, to contractors whose travel radius covers the address, whether near Detroit, Grand Rapids and Lansing or a smaller town in Michigan. We don't guarantee any number of jobs.

Independent contractor work with a 1099 at year end.

Serving in Michigan

## Before you serve papers in Michigan

One example from Michigan's official pages, for small claims (Small claims division of the district court): “A process server, or certified mail restricted to the addressee; the clerk can arrange it for a fee. The defendant should get notice at least 7 days before the hearing.” 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 Michigan's; we ask on the application.

## Process Server: common questions in Michigan

**Do I need a license to serve papers in Michigan?**

It depends on Michigan's rules and sometimes your county's. You must meet them; the application asks whether your area requires a license and, if so, for the upload.

**Will I get regular serves in Michigan?**

We can't promise any. Serves are offered as client requests come in near your ZIP.

**Am I an employee?**

No, this is independent contractor work: your jobs, your vehicle, your choice on every offer.
