Payment from Employers for Jury Service

The Jury Selection and Service Act forbids any employer from firing, intimidating, or coercing any permanent employee because of their federal jury service.

Your employer may continue your salary during all or part of your jury service, but federal law does not require an employer to do so. You should check whether your company or employer has a policy for employees serving on jury duty.
