Process Server Prospect,

This information is to provide you with additional details regarding the duties and responsibilities of
a Professional Process Server….

About Us: Action Process Service is Arkansas Leading Process Service provider. We serve Arkansas and
Oklahoma statewide on a daily basis and we also provide Nationwide Process Service. Action Process Service is
a Christian based business, owned and operated by a Christian woman.

Application Process: There is a lot of paperwork involved “on our end” when we hire a new process server, we
will run a Criminal Record on all new hires and there must not be anything listed on your criminal record “you
must have a completely clean criminal record” to be a process server. This does not include “speeding tickets”
or your driving record. We may or may not ask that you come to Little Rock for an orientation held for all new
hires, if you live far away. All applicants that live in the surrounding counties of Pulaski would be required to
attend the orientation, if your application is accepted.

Process Server: A process server is a person that is legally designated and authorized to serve legal papers
that are filed in the courts. The legal papers could include divorce matters, child custody, paternity,
guardianship, collection accounts or any other type of “Civil” matter. You would not be authorized or assigned
“Criminal” matters, all criminal cases must be served by a sheriffs department.

Getting Started: Once your paperwork has been completed we would start assigning you work. If you live in
Pulaski or Saline counties and/or your employment is located in Pulaski county you would come in to our office
on a daily basis to pick up your new assignments and drop off your completed assignments. If you do not live or
work around Pulaski or Saline counties we would simply mail your new assignment with a postage paid return
envelope for the completed jobs to be returned to us by mail within 24/48 hours of completion. We would prefer
all new hires to have a fax machine and/or the capability to accept and receive new assignments by fax or email
and a printer to print the assignments out. This is not necessary but could allow you to receive a lot more
assignments. FYI: The fax machine, computer, phone lines, printers, ink, paper and all other items you purchase
for this job are “Tax Deductible”.  

Assignments: The assignments would have what is called a “Field Sheet” attached to the top of each job. The
Field Sheet tells you the name and address of the person that you are to serve the papers to as well as the
“law” for that particular assignment. In most cases the law will be that you can substitute serve any resident that
is “14” years or older as long as you have confirmed that the “person to be served” does in fact reside in the
home and that the “14” or older person does “live with” the person to be served.

You obtain this information simply by knocking on the door of the home address we provide you with and asking
a few questions, you may have to make several attempts to find someone home before you are able to complete
the assignment and you would be required to continue trying until you either “serve the paper” or until you
“confirm that the address is bad”.


Once you receive an answer at the home address, you would simply ask if the “person being served” lives there.
If the resident says “no”, you would ask “if they know them” and go from there. If the resident does know the
“person being served” but the “person being served” does not live there, you would simply ask them if they know
how you could contact the “person being served” and obtain whatever information you are able to and report it
back to our office before doing anything else. If the current resident said they did not know the “person being
served” you simply ask “what residence is this” and “how long have they lived there” and report this back to our
office. If you were told that the “person being served” does live there you simply leave the papers with any
resident “14” or older and tell them that you have a delivery for “persons name being served” and that you need
them to make sure “person being served” receives the papers. You must ask the “14” or older resident their
complete name and obtain their relationship to the “person being served”, you can simply say “can I get your
name so that I will know who I left these papers with” and most people will be very cooperative with you. If the
person you are leaving the papers with appears to be the wife, you simply ask “are you his wife” or “are you her
husband” and most people will tell you what their relationship is. In a lot of cases the “person being served” will
answer the door or they will come to the door when you ask for them and you will serve them “personally”. There
will be many occasions where we will provide you with the “employment address”, you can not “substitute serve”
anyone at the employment address, you can only serve the “person being served” at an address other than the
residence address. If you serve a paper but do not obtain all of the information needed, you would have to
serve the same paper a second time.

Status Updates: You would report all attempts, completed service and bad addresses on our website 24/7 by
filling n the blanks for each assignment on a “daily” basis. If you do not have access to the Internet, you would
report status by phone 24/7. If you fail to keep us updated with status on a daily basis, you would simply not last
as a process server.

Bad Addresses: If you confirm a bad address, you would update us but hold the assignment until further notice
from our office. In most cases, we would have you complete the “Affidavit of Non Service” and call the job
“completed”, but there are some occasions where we would provide you another address to be attempted.

Served Jobs: You would then complete what is called an “Affidavit of Service”, this is a “legal form” that you
would complete on every assignment stating the date, time, address and service details and you would sign it
“swearing under oath” just as if you were in from of a Judge in a court room that what you stated is 100% true
and that no “false” statements have been made.

Payments: You would be paid $23.00 for each assignment upon the receipt and approval of the original
“Affidavit” for served assignments and “bad address” assignments. We process and approve hundreds of jobs a
day in the order they are received, most payments are processed generally within two weeks once they are
approved.

Relationship: It is understood by the parties that the Process Server is an Independent Contractor that has
been contracted by, licensed through and will be trained by Action Process Service to serve process
“exclusively” with respect to Action Process Service. The Process Server will use his/her own vehicle while
performing the duties within this agreement. Action Process Service will not provide any fringe benefits, including
health insurance, paid vacation, or any other employee benefits such as unemployment insurance
compensation, workman’s compensation or federal or state tax withholdings. Any and all tax liability are the
responsibility of the Process Server.

Deductions: You can deduct gas receipts, mileage, vehicle repairs, computers, cell phones, printers, ink, fax
machines and any other items or supplies that you will purchase or already have that you will use while serving
papers for Action Process Service. The government is currently reimbursing around .50/.60 cents a mile for
mileage expense.

Injuries: Action Process Service acknowledges the Process Server’s obligation to obtain appropriate insurance
coverage for the benefit of the Process Server. The Process Server waives any rights to recovery from Action
Process Service for any and all injuries that the Process Server may sustain while performing services under
this agreement.

shape, form or fashion with Action Process Services clients, nor are they to solicit these clients, reveal to any
third party who Action Process Services Clients are or accept any work from these clients at any period of time,
all matters should be referred to Action Process Service immediately.

Exclusive: It is understood that the Process Server can only serve process service for Action Process Service,
the Process Server can not prepare or produce any type of advertising materials promoting themselves as a
Process Server such and business cards, mail out materials and/or any other promotional items. The Process
Servers understands and agrees that they are not to contact or solicit any attorney, individual or a third party for
process service assignments and/or present themselves as a Process Server to any third party without being in
violation of this agreement. The Process Server understands and agrees  that they are not to receive work from
an attorney, individual or any third party. It is agreed and further understood that Action Process Service will not
hesitate to take the legal action necessary if the Process Server does not completely abide by this agreement.
The Process Server understands and agrees that upon termination of this agreement and/or the last date
worked with Action Process Service, they are no longer eligible to serve process in the state of Arkansas.

Taxes: Action Process Service will not withhold state or federal taxes from your check. Action Process Service
will provide all Process Servers with a “1099 Form” at the end of every year that will list the total amount paid to
the Process Server for the year. The Process Server will be responsible for reporting  the income to the IRS for
all tax purposes.


Is this for you? If you would be completely comfortable knocking on a total strangers front door and asking a
few question and have a clean criminal record, you could be a process server. If you are easily intimidated or
scared of people, this is not the job for you. If you are not a “go getter” type of person, this is not for you.

Danger: This is not a dangerous job but does require someone who can be up front, bold and direct when
needed. The owner is a female, she has been a Process Server for ten years and she would tell you that the
thing you have to worry about most is “dogs”.
