Here's what I found on some website

quote:

Will I get paid for jury service?

If you are employed full time, your employer must pay you your regular wages for the first five days of jury service.

Full time employment is anything more than 30 hours per week.

If you do not work full time, the state may pay you up to $50 per day for out-of-pocket expenses (with proper documentation), for the first five days of jury service. Out of pocket expenses include child care, parking, and mileage or other transportation costs. You must complete a Reimbursement Form - (PDF) and return it to the court.

The state pays all jurors $50 per day starting with the sixth day of jury service and each subsequent day of jury service.

My job pays me my regular salary (and they should, they're a law firm), but I spent 2 days sitting around doing nothing. To add, we got out at like 3:30 the first day and 4 the other and on day 1, we were given such a long lunch that I came home 25 minutes, cooked, watched TV, and picked up my laptop, as I'd learned in the morning they had internet to use when you were in a panel (most of the time).

In sum, I thought it was awesome.
