## Pay, per job

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.

Jobs are offered one at a time, as clients ask, to contractors whose travel radius covers the address, whether near Sioux Falls, Rapid City and Pierre or a smaller town in South Dakota. We don't guarantee any number of jobs.

You work as an independent contractor and receive a 1099.

Serving in South Dakota

## Service rules in South Dakota

One example from South Dakota's official pages, for small claims (Small Claims Court (Magistrate Court)): “Clerk sends notice by certified mail; if that fails, sheriff personal service at plaintiff's cost.” 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 South Dakota's; we ask on the application.
