Pay
How pay works
Every offer states what the job pays. Take it, pass, or make a counter-offer, and nothing is assigned without your yes.
Work is per job: each request near your home ZIP in the state is offered as it comes in, around Charlotte, Raleigh and Greensboro or anywhere else inside the radius you choose. There is no guaranteed volume.
You work as an independent contractor and receive a 1099.
Serving in North Carolina
What North Carolina says about service
For small claims in the Small Claims Court (District Court, Magistrate), the court's pages say: “Personal delivery or leaving at dwelling with suitable resident; registered or certified mail, signature confirmation, or designated delivery service; acceptance of service; summary ejectment per G.S. 42-29 (G.S. 7A-217).” Other case types have their own rules.
Whether North Carolina or your county licenses, registers or appoints process servers is for you to check and meet before taking a serve; the application asks.
