No one wants to be served papers, and most documents that process servers delivers do not contain good news.

Thankfully, the majority of people are served document at their places of residence rather than their place of employment, ensuring you some privacy in the matter.

However, should an individual be hard to find at home, or it becomes evident that they are avoiding the process server, the process server will resort to other measures to find a way to contact you.

This includes going to your place of employment.

Servers Are Discreet

You should always keep in mind that process servers are professionals. Just like you, they have a job to do, and they do not want any reason to cause a scene or humiliate you in any way. Therefore, you can be assures that the process server assigned to the case will be discreet.
In most cases, the process server will ask the company receptionist if you are present and say that they have something to deliver to you.
From there, once you take the papers without protesting, the delivery can be understated, seamless, and over with in moments. You do not have to tell your co-workers that you have been served with legal papers if you do not wish to. The process server certainly will not tell your co-workers, as it is your personal matters.

Visiting Your Place of Work is a Last Resort

A process server will generally make several attempts to contact you at home or visiting you at home before resorting to visiting you at your place of work. But if they cannot reach you or you live in a gated community, this is the next step.

it is also always beneficial to remember that process servers are doing a job that protects you and your rights. Being notified of a court matter that involves you gives you the chance to refute it or defend yourself. Whatever documents a process server has to deliver to you, you want to be aware of.

In conclusion, yes, a process server can and will visit you at work if it calls for it, but they will be discreet.
