Your rights as a juror

Job protection
Employers may not discharge, discipline, penalize or threaten an employee for absence due to a jury summons. Employers may require reasonable notice2
Many counties pay more than the state minimum, and your summons usually says what you will be paid. If something here is not covered, your summons or the court clerk can tell you.
