No employer shall discharge or in any manner discriminate against an employee for taking time off to serve as required by law on an inquest or trial jury, if such employee prior to taking such time off, gives reasonable notice to the employer that he is required to serve. Employers are not required by law to compensate employees with their regular wages while on jury duty. Many employers do have jury benefits and will continue wages while serving. No one is exempt from service by reason of occupation. Based on student status, students may request a postponement of service to the next school break.
Business attire is suggested.
Jurors are advised to dress in layers as the temperature of the jury assembly areas and courtrooms can be unpredictable. Please be aware that the first day's service will result in payment of mileage fees only. You should receive your warrant of payment approximately four weeks after completing your service. If you do not receive your juror fees in that time, please call our office and speak to the payroll clerk. Free parking is available.
