The Contractor Pay model

We know that as professional process servers, you have a lot of choices, which is why we have created a pay model designed to fairly and transparently pay you for every marketplace job you complete.

Earnings for a job are calculated according to:

Base pay
Calculated based on the population density of the ZIP code you're delivering to (so that urban areas pay a little less, and sparse rural areas pay more).

+

Service level
Rush jobs (serves that need a higher frequency of attempts within a shorter timeframe) and urgent jobs (court deliveries that need to be completed as soon as possible) receive higher pay.

+

Pages
Orders over 50 pages come with additional pay for increased printing and stationery costs.

=

Total pay
You will always earn base pay. Service level pay and pages will depend on the specifics of the job.

How much can I potentially earn?

How much you can earn depends on the type of jobs you complete.

Shorter serves and deliveries at standard service levels in densely populated urban areas pay $35 per job. A short serve or delivery at standard service level in a rural area could pay up to $125. Additional pay can be earned for longer (more pages) jobs or jobs that require a faster service level.

When do contractors get paid?

Contractors are paid into their ServeManager wallet every time they complete a job for One Legal. You can disburse your wallet to your chosen bank account at any time.
