How does it work where you are?

Here you get a flat rate per day (I think) and your work have to let you have the time off but don't have to pay you, so this guy I knew who was on a solid wage was losing loads of dollar, and the case just kept extending, he didn't like it.

However when my music teacher had to do it for a fortnight in year 7 I was well glad. Pissing around on keyboards for an hour > actual work.

You know, William Blake said... uh, nothing is lost. Nothing is lost and I... I really believe that, we only move on...

in new york state courts, the employer pays your regular wages -- if jobless, then the courts reimburse you. i'm not sure about how it works with federal courts, but i'm sure it's the same type of compensation.

*edit* hm looks like employers are "encouraged but not required to pay an employee's full daily wage". my company has paid for my jury duty though.

You work for a law firm...Of course they're going to keep paying your salary while on jury duty. You're you can feed the system that supports everyone.

I loved jury duty. We got long lunches, we home at regular hours. It was vacation.
