Do i get paid for doing jury duty?

Question

Im not working at the moment but do I get paid when I go serve as a juror??

Answer 1

yes, just enough to pay your expenses

Answer 2

no. but if you dont attend with a good excuse your jailed but get paid for hard labour.

Answer 3

Yeah, a couple bucks a day, plus a few cents per mile for travel expense. You don't get reimbursed until after you've finished serving. I did 15 Fridays on Grand Jury duty and didn't get reimbursed until we were sworn out after our 15 weeks were up. Thank goodness it was Friday and summer, so a lot of the times the prosecutors took Friday off or cut the day early.

And it doesn't matter if you're employed or not, you still get the "jury fee".

Answer 4

A little

Answer 5

Yes, the last time I served it paid $17.00 per day. That was at The Daley Center in downtown Chicago.

Answer 6

It depends on the state.  Here we get paid $10 bucks plus 8 cents a mile and a voucher for parking.  It's not a lot of money.  Especially at $4 a gallon for gas now.

Answer 7

Yes.  But don't get too excited about the fee.

Answer 8

Pennsylvania, $9.00 a day, plus mileage between your home and the court house.
