Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts

When serving a subpoena in Massachusetts,if the subpoena is written for the "Keeper of Records" or "Plant Manager", for instance, the guidelines given by the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute states : "Your friend (or process server, I assume) can give the subpoena to the witness (the person in charge of payroll or records etc.) or the receptionist or the owner of this business. Is this correct or does the subpoena have to be handed to the actual person with that job title?

Also, if the subpoena is only for the person to produce requested documents (and not for that person to come to court), is a witness fee required?

PS. This is a case going to the Mass. Div. of Unemployment for a hearing.

Thank you.
