If employers do pay, they have the right to require employees to remit to them the fees received for jury service. Employees are protected from harassment or dismissal. As the employer, you must allow an employee time off to serve on a jury. Employees who are harassed or fired can file a claim with the Labor Board. Employers can also be prosecuted criminally and face a misdemeanor charge if found guilty.
Jurors serve one day or one trial in California.
