* If you are employed full time, your employer must pay you your regular wages for the first five days of jury service. * Full time employment is anything more than 30 hours per week. * If you do not work full time, the state may pay you up to $50 per day for out-of-pocket expenses (with proper documentation), for the first five days of jury service. Out of pocket expenses include child care, parking, and mileage or other transportation costs. You must complete a form and return it to the court. * If you are so concerned, I recomend you get disposable income from your job, and put it it in a savings account. * The state pays all jurors $50 per day starting with the sixth day of jury service and each subsequent day of jury service.

In the United States, serving as a juror is considered one of the duties of being a citizen, so the 'pay' is rather minimal, and is usually below minimum wage. How much a jury member is paid depends on the court.

In Escambia County, Florida, jurors are paid $15 a day for the first three days, and $30 a day for every day thereafter. Meanwhile, in the United States District Court, Northern District of Florida, federal jurors are paid $40 a day.

For most jurisdictions, you can find out exactly how much a juror will be paid by finding the Clerk of the Court's website for that area. Look for 'Juror Information' or 'Jury Information' or an FAQ.

Juror pay is a state by state policy. Some of these policies are:

Massachusetts: Perhaps this varies from place to place. I was not paid for jury duty in Massachusetts, but my employer was required to pay me my regular wages for the day. Unemployed jurors in that state can apply for reasonable expenses.

California pays jurors $15 every day starting on the second day of service, except employees of governmental entities who receive full pay and benefits from their employers while on jury service. Because governmental employers already pay these jurors, the courts do not pay them an additional daily fee. All jurors receive at least 34 cents for each mile they travel to court. The mileage payment, only for one-way travel, also starts on the second day. Some courts may pay you what it costs to take mass transit or local transit agencies may provide free bus or rail transportation to court. Ask your local jury office for information about your court's payment process.

Federal Juries:

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 10 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 federal law does not require an employer to do so.

Grand jurors are paid $40 a day. Jurors can receive up to $50 a day after serving 45 days on a grand jury. (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 federal law does not require an employer to do so.

New York State:

The jury fee is $40 per day. If service extends beyond 30 days the court may authorize an additional $6 per day per juror. The fee is paid by the State or the employer depending on the day of service and the size of employer. Jurors are not reimbursed for parking or other transportation costs. Grand jurors are paid according to the same rules as trial jurors.

Your job is NOT required to pay you anything for your jury duty time. HOWEVER - they may NOT dock you a sick or vacation day either. Many employers will pay you the difference between your juror-duty pay and your regular days paycheck, but they are not required to do so.

It depends on the jurisdiction. Some pay you daily at the end of each day, some pay you totally at the end of your service, and some mail you a check for the full amount at a later date.
