Can you be served a summons at work?
Yes. A subpoena may be served anywhere the person to be served is located as long as it is served personally. The subpoena may not simply be left with the employer for the employer to give to the person being served. One practical problem the person serving the subpoena will face is that the employer might not allow the process server to come onto the premises to serve the subpoena. In that case, the person serving might have to wait outside for the employee to come out and then serve him.

This depends on what type of subpoena it is. It can be served by a sheriff deputy, a process server, an attorney, or yourself if you're handling your own case (pro se).
