Answers to Questions about Jury Duty
How much are jurors paid?
Doesn't my employer have to pay me?
Depending upon the court to which you are assigned, you may be paid $6.00 per day that you are going through jury selection. If selected, you will be paid $34.00 (Daily pay rate subject to change quarterly) per day beginning the second day of service.
The law does not require that your employer pay you while you are on jury duty, though many choose to do so. The law does require that your employer allow you time off from work to fulfill your jury service obligations, and you cannot be discharged from your job for being on jury duty. If your employer does not comply with the law, civil and criminal sanctions may apply.
