minimum wage. that's all they pay. depending on the state. Some states will make your employer pay the difference, others don't.But you can't refuse becuase you have a better paying job. You have to have a medical excuse. But your employer can't fire you either.
But if you are sequestered, they do put you up in a motel and foot the bill for that. Problem is: it's not a real vacation as you aren't allowed to watch tv.; you can't discuss the case; you have ppl guarding the doors...
Juror Pay
Federal jurors are paid $40 a day. While the majority of jury trials last less than a week, jurors can receive up to $50 a day after serving 30 days on a trial. (Employees of the federal government are paid their regular salary in lieu of this fee.) Jurors also are reimbursed for reasonable transportation expenses and parking fees. Jurors also receive a subsistence allowance covering their meals and lodging if they are required to stay overnight.
Your employer may continue your salary during all or part of your jury service, but is not required to do so. Nonetheless, the Jury Act forbids any employer from firing, intimidating, or coercing any permanent employee because of their federal jury service. You should check whether your company or employer has a policy for employees serving on jury duty.

Depends on where you live. It could be anywhere from $5 to $15 a day. Many employers will pay you your full salary while on jury duty if you give them your jury pay. So if you make around $10 an hour, you will probably give up the $5 a day for your regular salary.

When I was on jury duty we got $10 a day - which didn't even cover parking expenses.

it depends on what county you are on...some are as low as $5 and others $10
but the good thing is if you are working, your company might pay you jury duty pay. It depends on your company though...

One of my friends had jury duty and only received $6.00 for lunch. That was it.

It depends on your area, it's usually like nothing like about $10 a day
