Are employers required to pay employees while on jury service?
No. An employer is NOT required by law to pay employees who are on jury service. However, many employers do. You need to check with your company’s Human Resources Department before serving to see if your company will pay your salary for the days you are serving as a juror. If you DO receive your salary, your company may require a letter of attendance from the Jury Commission. These letters may be mailed, emailed or faxed upon your request.
