Your rights as a juror

Job protection
After reasonable notice, employers may not discharge, threaten or discipline a permanent employee for jury service or make them use annual, vacation or sick leave2
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.
